1 6 PROCEEDINGS OF THE 



Mr. C. E. Salmon showed several sheets from his herbarium of 

 the undermentioned ])lants and commented upon tliem. 



1. Sityina Jllicdulis Jord. Obs. Fnvg. vii. 1(! (1849), closely allied 

 to S. aj/eiala and N. ciliaUt, differing from the former by its sepals 

 tapering and two usually mucronate, and also by their being 

 appresssed to the ripe capsule ; from the latter by being more 

 glandular, sepals less acute, and shorter in proportion to tlie ripe 

 capsule. 



2. Cerast'ium suhtetrandnim Murbeck in Bot. Notiser, 1898, 259. 

 This occurs in Orkney, sent by Col. H. II. Johnston, E.L.S., and 

 reported from AV. Sutherland by Dr. G. C. Druce, F.L.S. From 

 C.tei rand rum it differs by being both pentamerous and tetrandrous, 

 its floriferous part being higlier up the stem, the lower bracts 

 smaller than the stem-leaves, sepal tips drawn out into membranous, 

 acute points, and seeds smaller. 



3. Arum italicum Mill. A rare British plant only found in 

 Cornwall, Dorset, Hants, Sussex, and Kent ; but also in the 

 Channel Islands. The following notes are taken from Sussex 

 specimens. They differ from A. mnculatum by the petioles being 

 much longer in proportion to tlie blade, spathes longer compared 

 with spadix, ovaries more numerous, rudimentary flowers with 

 bases not tapering into filaments, and the spadix is differently 

 shaped as well as larger. The leaves are not so well marked with 

 white veins as in Continental specimens. They show above 

 ground iu late autumn or winter, whilst A. maculatura is much 

 later. 



Further remarks were contributed bv Mr. H. JV. Eidl^v, Mr. 

 C. C. Lacaita, Mr. H. W. Pugsley, and Dr. E. J. Salisbury,
