FLOWERING PLANTS. 



Abnormal Figwort in Spen Valley. — During the past 

 week I found on the banks of the Spen at Smithies, Heckmond- 

 wike, an abnormal specimen of Figwort {Scrophularia nodosa L. ) 

 growing near normal plants of this species. Instead of having 

 the usual square stem and decussate leaves, this plant has a 

 six-sided stem and a whorl of three leaves at each node. The 

 leaves of a whorl spring from alternate faces, and alternate with 

 each other at succeeding nodes from the base of the stem 

 upwards. This arrangement is continued to the inflorescence, 

 a branch arising in the axil- of each of the three bracts of a 

 whorl. The specimen has been placed under the care of Mr. J. 

 Ackroyd, recorder of the Heckmondwike Naturalists' Society. — 

 T. Castle, Heckmondwike, 6th July 1903. 



Galium Mollugo near Grimsby. — This plant does not 

 appear to have been recorded for this vice county (Lincolnshiie 

 N.) many times, and not at all in the Grimsby area. I found 

 several plants during July in Old Clee village. — Arthur Smith, 

 Grimsby.
