Thalictruni minus L., var. collinum (Wallr.) 1. Royston,. 

 many near the Kifie Butts, and a few in other parts of the heath. In 

 ilovver 22 June, 1907, 7 June, 19U8, in fair abundance. As Pryor 

 remarks, the heath is depastured by sheep, and I have never seen it 

 reach the stage of mature fruit. 



Hanunculus hederaceus L. 4. In 1913 I gathered at Colney 

 Heath both a terrestrial form and one tloating in water. I thought 

 the latter probably the form recorded by Pryor from the same locality 

 as Batrachiuni hederacenm var. homoeophyllKm. C.E.S. however 

 thinks that it roots too much at the joints. Pryor's record requires 

 further investigation. 



^Delphinium Ajacis Keichb. 2. In a cornfield, part of Purwell 

 Field, Hitchin, 1910-1913, now levelled for new railway works. 



* Pa paver Rhceas L., var. Prj/orii Bruce. 2. Field below the 

 liiddy Lane, Hitchin. Most large areas of poppy in this district have 

 plants with red or coloured hairs on the peduncle and calyx. (See 

 W.E.C.K. 1914, 482.) 



Fumaria Vaillantii Lois. 2. Near Offley Grrange, Hitchin. 

 (W.E.C.K. 1914, 482.) 



Barharea vulgaris [R. Br. in] Ait. (See Journ. Bot. 1916, 

 p. 202.)— Var. silvestris Fries. 2. Purwell, Hitchin. (W.E.C.R. 

 1915, 525.) — Var. campestris Fr. 2. Wymondley Rd., Hitchin, 

 1915-16.— Var. «rcz/«f« Fr. 2. Purwell, Hitchin, ^1915. 6. Bet. 

 Hertford Heath and Ware ; Hertford Heath ; and at Stansteadbury, 

 Ware, 1915, 



B. verna Aschei-s. 2. New gravel pit, Hollow Lane, Hitchin, 

 1914. 6. Nr. the Sanatorium, Haileybury Coll., 1914. 



Arahis glabra Bernh. 6, Roadside near Broadwater, 1914, R.M. 



Draha verna L. (a) D. majuscula Rouy & Fouc. Fells' 

 Nurseries, Hitchhi, 1913, W.E.C.R. 1913, 431."^ (b) B. lanceolata 

 Neilr. St. Ippolyts, B.E.C.R. 1913, p. 450. (c) B. vulgaris Rouy 

 & Fouc. Great Wymondley ; Wilbury Hill ; West Mill, Hitchin, 

 1913. (d) B, prcecox Stev. Fells' Nurseries, Hitchin, 1912, 

 (e) B. glahrescens Rouy & Fouc. St. Ippolyts, W.E.C.R. 1913, 

 432; Walsworth, Hitchin, W.E.C.R. 1915, 526, (f) Z). hirtella 

 Fouc. & Rouy. Ickleford, B.E.C.R. 1913, 449, W.E.C.R. 1915, 525, 

 All these localities are in District 2. 



Biplofaxis muralis DC, var. Bahingtonii Syme. 2. Gr.N.R. 

 near Great Wymondley Rd., Hitchin, and near Grove Mill, Hitchin, 

 1915 ; Field near Arbury Banks, 1912. Probably this is a state rather 

 than a good variety : it occurs intermixed with the typical plant. 



Lepidium campesfre L. 1 & 2. Apparenth^ rare in these districts. 

 Bentley's records in Pryor may have been casual plants. The nearest 

 point at which I have found it is in 6, at Mardley Heath, 1912. 



*Z. ruderale L. 2. Norton Green, Stevenage, 1914, H.C.L. ; 

 Gravel pit between Great Wymondley and Willian, 1912. — 6. On 

 cinders, near Kneb worth Golf Club. House, 1909; Brickfield, Rabley
