NOTES ON THE FLORA OF DERBYSHIRE 313 



4-5 mm. long. Corollas tubus 6 mm. long., inferne 1 mm. faucibus 

 2 mm. lat. ; labium anticum 4 x 3-5 mm., posticum 3-5 x 4 mm. 

 Filamenta 2 mm., antherarum loculi vix 1 mm. long. Ovarium 

 late ovoideum, 1 mm. long. ; stylus puberulus, 7 mm. long. 



A very distinct species, to be inserted next D. Melleri Rolfe. 

 The subsessile leaves, cordate at base, the small bracts, the 

 bracteoles often slightly exceeding the broader of the bracts, are 

 among its main features. 



NOTES ON THE FLOEA OF DERBYSHIEE.— II.- 

 By E. & H. Drabble. 



Part of the summer vacations of 1909 and 1910 were spent 

 in Derbyshire. The notes here recorded are the outcome of field- 

 work during those periods. During part of the time in 1909 we 

 had the advantage of Dr. S. E. Chandler's help. Our thanks are 

 also due to Mr. S. Steele, the Secretary of the East Derbyshire 

 Field Club, who has furnished us with a list of plants observed by 

 the Club during their rambles. 



Nineteen species or varieties hitherto unrecorded for the 

 county have been found, and fifty-three new to the geological 

 formation on which they occurred. These records are gradually 

 breaking down the absolute species — differences between the floras 

 of the geological formations in the County. This, of course, is to 

 be expected. What is required is an account of the relative 

 frequencies of the various plants in the different districts, and it 

 is our intention to deal with this subject at an early date. Many 

 notes with this object have been collected already. 



Species new to the county are marked with a dagger, new 

 records for the geological divisions are starred. 



The divisions of the county according to the geological forma- 

 tion have been used here as in our former paper. 



Ranunculus circinatus Sibth. (C) Hardwick. — B. acris L. 

 var. \Friesianus R. & F. ('''C) Chesterfield ; var. vulyatus (Jord.) 

 (L) Cave Dale ; a very dwarf form, 2-3 in. in height. — B. Flam- 

 mula L. (C) Wingerworth. This is a remarkably stout form, 

 quite upright from the base and with ovate obtuse lower leaves. 

 It does not exactly agree with any form the description of which 

 we have seen. 



Paixiver somniferum L. (L) Alport, apparently a grain-alien. 



Fumaria iMllidiflora Jord. (^■G) Lumsdale. [This is re- 

 corded in the Flora as on (L) ; it should be on (G). — E. D.] — 

 ■\F. muralis Sonder. (^'=0) Cliesterfield. This plant occurred in 

 some quantity in the years 1908-09 on a piece of cultivated land 

 where potatoes are grown ; last year (1910), however, we failed to 

 find it. 



Barharea intermedia Bor. (=''L) Ashover. — B. vulgaris Ait. 

 (G) near Crich. — Alyssum incanum L. ("C) waste ground at
