58 PROCEKDINGS OF THE 



Exliibition by Mr. G. Claeidge Druce, of New British Plants. 

 [20tli June, 1918.] 



403. JSagixa scotica, Druce, in Bot. Excb. Club, Hep. for 

 1911-12, p. 14. Ben Lawers, Pertb, Aug. 19th, 1911.— Also 

 found in the counties of Argyll, Inverness, Forfar, Aberdeen, and 

 Banff. 



Distinguished from <S'. scujinoides by its smaller capsule, more 

 creeping grow th, and from *S'. procumbtns by its larger and longer 

 petals, which are mainly pentamerous. 



414. Sperquhria atheniensis, Aschers. & Schwein. Beitr. Y\. 

 jEthiopica 267, 1867. — First found in the British Isles at St. 

 Heliers, Jersey, 1906, see Bot. Eich. Club, Eep. for 1906, p. 196. 

 Since found at Par, Cornwall, bv Dr. Vigurs, and at Aldeburgh, 

 Suffolk. 



Distinguished from ruhra by the broadly-triangular stipules and 

 absence of central rosette, and from salina by the smaller capsules 

 and pyriform seeds. "Widely distributed on the Mediterranean 

 coasts and abundant about Athens. 



1126. Anthrisccs stlvestkis, lloffm. var. LiiisECTA, Druce, in 

 Bot. Exch. Clnb Eep. for 1916-17, p. 412, — This form is more 

 frequent in the Midlands and Southern Counties. 



In Scotland, where the species itself is much less frequent, the 

 prevailing plant has narrow leaf-segments, this (opus cif.) is the 

 var. ANGusxisECTA. Petersen (Dansk. Bot. Arkiv for 1915) figures 

 59 diti'erent sorts of leaves, which he arranges in 16 groups. 

 Plants with leaves between tlie two extremes named above are 

 frequent in France and have been noticed in Cornwall. Angusti- 

 secta I have not yet seen south of Derbyshire, nor latisecta south 

 of Lancashire and Cheshire. 



1172. Hedera Helix, Linn., var. sarniensis, Druce, in Bot, 

 Exch. Club Eep, for 1912-13, p, 163, — In Guernsey and Jersey 

 this broad-leaved ivy is frequent, even in the barren branches the 

 segments are broader than in the common British form. Miss 

 I. M, Roper has since found a form closely approaching it at 

 Chewton Keynsliam, X, Somerset. 



Ynr. BoREALis, Druce, I. c. In Skye, both at Glen Sligachan 

 and Glen Brittle, a plant with very narrow and smaller leaves 

 occurs, and it has been since found in Silverdale, the limestone 

 area of Oxfordshii-e, etc. 



The diminution of leaf-surface in the northern habitats of the 

 Hedera and Anthriscus is somewhat remarkable. 



1663 (10). ScoRzoNERA HUMiLis, L. Discovered nearWareham, 

 Dorset, by Mrs. and ^Master Noel Sandwith iti 1914, see Bot. 

 Exch. Club Rep. for 1915, p. 202. — I ha\e visited the habitat, and 

 have no doubt that it is indigenous there, growing as it does on 

 the Continent, and with similar associates and in the same kind 

 of situation.
