PROCEEDINGS OF THE 



interest as a companion growth form to that of the South 

 African Crassula lycopodioides, Lam. 



FEBRUARY 13, 1913. 



Sir Archibald Buchan-Hepburn, Bart., in the Chair. 



A paper was read on behalf of Professor Bayley 

 Balfour on the Primulas of the Candelabra Section (to 

 be published in part iii. of this volume). 



A paper on the occurrence of Utricularia ochroleuca, 

 Hartman, and U. intermedia, Hayne, in Scotland, was 

 read on behalf of Mr. Arthur Bennett (see p. 140). 



Dr. Malcolm Wilson showed specimens of potato tubers 

 attacked by Rhizoctonia violacea, Tul. The fruiting stage 

 of the fungus Corticum vagum, B. et C, var. Solani, Burt., 

 occurs on the lower leaves, and in the specimens exhibited 

 this stage existed in organic connection with the sterile 

 mycelium on the tuber. The disease known as " little 

 potato " is probably caused by this fungus. 



Mr. Alexander Cowan forwarded his report on the 

 1912 excursion of the Scottish Alpine Botanical Club to 

 Killin and district (see p. 144). 



Mr. James M' Andrew exhibited a new lichen, Lecanora 

 Andrewi, B. de Lesdain, found by him near Edinburgh 

 (see p. 184).

 the frontiers of Yunnan and Tibet collected by Mr. F. 

 Kingdon Ward.

 with greenish-white flowers. Rubus parvus, Buch. : a 

 very distinct species from New Zealand, of creeping habit,
