leafy and toothed.. The lobes all ciliated, the lateral ones two or three 
on one side, usually one only on the other, linear or subspathulate, en- 
tire, erecto-patent or sometimes curved like a sickle. Bracts three- 
quarters of the distance up the pedicel, minute, ovate, acute, about the 
same width as the stalk. Sepals 3 of an inch long, lanceolate, acumi- 
nate, slightly ciliated; the upper pair smaller, equalling the petals. 
Expanded corolla 2 of an inch deep by 4 inch across. Petals all 
yellow; upper pair pale, obovate, 2 lines across; lateral pair smaller, 
deeper-coloured, with each a tuft of hairs at the throat; the lowest one 
four lines across not marked at all, or marked at the throat with three to 
five faint lines. Spur slender, curved upwards, barely 1} times as long 
as the subquadrate, bluntly toothed calycine appendages. . Anther spur 
linear-filiform, curved upwards, six to eight times as long as broad. 
The typical V. lutea has the terminal lobe of the stipules entire, and 
less leaf-like, the lower petal, when the plant is fairly developed, $ 
inch, the lateral pair 3 to 4 inch, and the upper pair 4 inch across, so 
that the fully-expanded corolla measures about l inch each way, and 
the spur keeled and thickened at the end, about twice as long as the 
deeply-toothed calycine Kir c 
Sagina ciliata. Sent by Mr. T. R. A. Briggs from Botus-fleming, 
Cornwall New to the iu and Mr. Briggs has gathered it also in 
Arenaria tenuifolia, var. viscosa, Bab. Under this name ME 
Townsend sends a plant from gravel-pits near Eriswell, Suffolk. It is 
not the true 4. viscosa of Schreber, which has not yet been found in 
Britain, and is a much smaller plant than A. Zenuifolia, with capsule 
shorter than the calyx, and petals half as long. 
Agrimonia odorata. Sent by Rev. W. H. Purchas from Lydney, 
loucestershire. Detected last summer by the Rev. W. W. Newbould 
on hedgebanks near Thirsk, N.E. Yorkshire, and in woods near Staward 
Peel, Northumberland. It had previously been gathered in the latter 
county in two stations (Kyloe Crags, near Belford, and in Simonburn . 
Dene, in North Tynedale), by Professor Oliver and Mr. W. H. Brown. 
This adds two ponner and one subprovince to its area as given by 
Mr. Watson.
