its stained leaf, as far as I know, but is not uncommon in the localities 

 for the unstained plant, or among garden seedlings from it. There is 

 also a "maculatum" variety of H. nigrescens, &c, &c. 



" Hieracium denticulatum" and " Hieracium. subaudum." — The 

 former of these plants was sent some years ago by Mr. Croall, from 

 the " foot of Glen Dole, Clova, Forfarshire ; " and the latter is sent by 

 Dr. Mateer, from " Cove Hill, County of Antrim," Ireland. For my 

 own part, I really feel uncertain by what names to call these Hieracia, 

 but suspect they may belong to H. inuloides. I should be glad to 

 learn what other botanists may think of them. The Clova specimens 

 are very few. 



" Viola Curtisii." — Mr. Sansom has sent specimens of a Viola from 

 the sand-hills of the Cheshire coast, near New Brighton. It is the 

 dubious form mentioned in my ' Cybele Britannica,' page 183; and 

 still, even with the very good specimens from Mr. Sansom before me, 

 I feel quite unprepared to say whether it should be labelled by the 

 'London Catalogue,' as Viola tricolor intermedia (136,c.) or as Viola 

 lutea Curtisii (137,c). The stipules are more lyrately than palmately 

 pinnatiiid, with the terminal lobe usually entire, occasionally crenate ; 

 thus combining characters which are supposed to distinguish lutea and 

 tricolor. 



" Atriplex erecta ? " — Sent by the Rev. A. Bloxam, from the neigh- 

 bourhood of Twycross, Leicestershire, thus interrogatively labelled. 

 I think it most probably is the plant intended under that name by 

 Hudson and Smith. It occurs abundantly in Surrey, but I have my- 

 self not collected it for distribution, through feeling uncertain how it 

 should be labelled. Mr. Bloxam's specimens have been lying by for 

 some years, and are now distributed rather L to ask than to give informa- 

 tion. What is the species ? 



" 416,c. Sedum reflexum (Linn.)." — Under this name Mrs. Russell 

 sends specimens collected on " Tremadoc Rocks, Carnarvonshire," by 

 Miss Holland. Notwithstanding the name of " reflexum," it would 

 seem from the addition of the letter " c " to the number of that spe- 

 cies, that Mrs. Russell considers the specimens to belong to S. rupestre. 

 By what name should they be called ? 



" Tilia parvifolia (Ehrh.)." — Sent by Mr. Roby, from Little Mal- 

 vern. The leaves are larger and less angular than I have usually 

 seen those of T. parvifolia ; and the specimens being in the flowering 

 stage, the character of the fruit cannot be ascertained from them. 

 They are distributed as " doubtfuls ; " but not in response to applica-
