11. Chenopodium ruhrum, L., var. Resembles C. botryoides by 

 its prostrate stem and entire leaves. The seeds are larger than in the 

 ordinary form. Gathered by the side of the Thames, below Graves- 

 end. 



12. Narcissus incomparabilis, Curt. Kilvington, Yorkshire, where 

 it was found by Mr. Baker ; quite naturalized. 



13. Gli/ceria hi/brida, Touvn. A variety of G. plicata, so labelled 

 by Mr. Baker. 



14. Bromus secalinus, L., var. A very puzzling form, from Hook, 

 Surrey, sent by Mr. Watson. It is intermediate between B. secalinus 

 and B. commutatus. I should have rather labelled it as the latter. 



15. Bromus patulus, M. & K. ? From Middlesbro', Durham (Mr. 

 Baker). Very like B. arvensis ; but I have not altered the name, as 

 I have never seen B. patulus ; and this plant has some of the charac- 

 ters assigned to that species. 



Mr. Watson sends Hieracium gothicum, Fr., from Surrey ; and Mr. 

 Baker, H. tridentatum., Fr., from Yorkshire. These two plants cer- 

 tainly belong to the same species, as Mr. Watson pointed out to me. 

 Mr. Atkins also sends it from Kent, under the name of H. sylva- 

 ticum. 



Poa polynoda^ Parn., has been sent by several members, under the 

 name of P. compressa, from which I have great diflSculty in distin- 

 guishing it, even as a variety. 



Of Triticum laxum, Fr., there is a large supply, from Mr. T. Moore 

 and myself Some of my specimens I am at a loss whether to label 

 as T. laxum, or T. repens, B- littorale. 



TJialictrum Jiexuosum, Fr. Specimens of what I suppose to be 

 this plant have been received from the Rev. T. Butler and Mr. Whit- 

 taker. The former sends it from Snowdon ; the latter, from Disseth, 

 Flint. 



Mr. Whittaker also contributes a number of specimens of Thlaspi 

 virens, .lord., from Matlock. Since my last report, I have received spe- 

 cimens of this plant from Lyons, named by Mr. Jordan. These agree 

 pretty well with the Derbyshire plant in the shape of the pouch, and 

 length of the style, but have the fruiting raceme shorter, and the 

 flowers nearly twice as large. 



I am glad to notice considerable improvement in the selection of 

 specimens sent to the Society, and hope that before long the practice 

 of sending useless scraps may be given up altogether. The grasses, 

 Cyperacea3, Orchidca?, and bulbous Monocotyledons suffer most from 

 the habit of sending examples without roots ; and roots are of the
