Hellehorine viridiflora Whelclon & Travis. Newborough Warren. 

 See Journ. Bot. 1916, p. 247. T. 



Orchis maculata L. var. ^prcBCox Webster. Common on heather 

 moorland, Holyhead Mountain. T. 



*0. prcetermissa Druce. Marshy gromid at head of Llyn Coron. 

 Put under this by Mr. Druce, who suggests the plant requires further 

 investigation. T. 



O. incarnata L. Near Llyn Maelog. ;S^. 



Scirpus Jiliformis Savi \di\\ pygmtBus (Kunth). Moist bank in a 

 cove near South Stack. T. 



Carex piilicaris L. Near Llyn Maelog. *S^. 



*C. Prt/r^/ F. Schultz. Between Ty Croes and Llyn Maelog. 8. 



C. distans L. With C. vulpiiia on moist banks in a cove near 

 South Stack. T. 



Koeleria albescens DC. var. ^glabra DC. Close turf on the 

 clif£ tops near South Stack. Mr. Druce reports — " The Koeleria is 

 similar to plants named for me by Domin as albescens var. glabra DC. 

 which equals arenaria.^'' 



Desmazeria loliacea Nyman. Holy Island. 1891. S, Spar- 

 ingly on rocks in the dunes at Newborough. T. 



Bromus molliformis Lloyd. Dry banks by the sea in a cove near 

 South Stack. T. This is the plant referred to in Bot. Ex. Club 

 jReport, 1916, p. 596, where the specimens were distributed under the 

 name var. compactus (Breb.) and which Mr. Druce called var. con- 

 glonieraius (Pers.). 



After further examination, it is now considered that these Angle- 

 sey specimens should be named molliformis (■= Lloyd ianiis Godr. et 

 Gren.), and they match satisfactorily Cornish and Channel Island 

 examples similarly labelled. 



It is interesting to note that Rouy (Fl. Fr.), Lloyd (Fl. de 

 rOuest Fr.), Richter (PI. Europ.), Ascherson & Graebner (Fl. Mittel- 

 Europ.), Grenier & Godron (Fl. Fr.), Boreau (Fl. Centre Fr.), Coste 

 (Fl. Fr.), etc., give the plant specific rather than varietal rank, and 

 we have adopted this view. In Hayward's Bot. Pocket-book, ed. 13, 

 p. 249, 1909, it is described as being prostrate ; the Anglesey plants 

 agree with the original description and are erect. 



NITELLA MUCEONATA IN GLOUCESTERSHIRE. 

 By James Geoves, F.L.S., and Rev. G. R. Bullock- Webstee. 



In May last Miss Roper sent us fresh specimens of an extremely 

 interesting Nitella discovered by her near Wickwar, West Gloucester- 

 shire (v. c. 34). It resembled in appearance a very slender state of 

 N. mucronata, but the ultimate mys of the branchlets, which usually 

 aiford a distinguishing character in the genus, were more like those of 

 N. gracilis than N. mucronata in that the penultimate cell tapered 

 slightly and was terminated by a comparatively large conical ultimate 

 cell, instead of having the more or less rounded end with the minute 

 and narrow apical cell presenting the mucro-like appearance which 

 characterizes N. mucronata and gives rise to its name. Moreover,
