two produced fine racemes of typical yellow-green flowers, and 

 again in 1893, but no plants have appeared there since ; meadow 

 bank near Overton (J. W. H. Johnson and P. Fox Lee) ; 

 Meadow, Mirfield and Dimpledale (H. Parkinson).

 plant, near Thornhill Edge.

Corrections, Additional Information, etc. 



RuBUS podophyllos p. J. Muell. When the record of 

 this new species appeared in the First Supplement to this 

 Flora, it had not then been assigned a plant list number. It 

 is now No. 832 in the Oxford List, and its census number in 

 1908 has been extended to 19 of the 112 county botanical 

 divisions of England, Wales and Scotland, with 2 in Ireland. 

 ' It is a setose evolution from carpinifolius of modern-day 

 development, to my eyes. It has been sent me from Halifax, 

 and is on the " make " about Leeds.' (F. A. Lees). 



Anagallis arvensis L. /lore. Some time after mentioning 

 this species in the First Supplement, p. 259, I saw several 

 plants of a blue-flowered form of pimpernel, on waste ground, 

 Steanard Lane, Mirfield (H. Parkinson) . . . ' with regard to the 

 variety ccsrulea, the plant recorded under this name by British 

 botanists is the blue-flowered form of the Pimpernel, differing 

 from the type in no other respect than colour. It is a common 

 cornfield weed in Europe, and frequently reaches this country 

 as a grain introduction.' (Dunn's ' Alien Flora,' pp. 129-30). 



' Yes, often seed-brought when blue or purplish, but also 

 often blue on alkaline calc-soils, on sand a pale scarlet. The 

 blue non-British species is a stouter plant with turgid capsules, 

 A. femina Miller.' (F. A. Lees.) 



Sparganium ramosum, var. microcarpum Neuman. In 

 addition to my former note in the ' First Supplement,' (pp. 261- 

 2), on this small-seeded variety of the Branched Bur-reed, I 

 may say, it was fully described in the Hartmans' ' Handbok i 

 Skandinaviens Flora,' 12th ed. (pub. 1889), as occurring in 

 Gotland and Medelpad, two provinces of Sweden. About the 

 time that Mr. A. Bennett reviewed this Flora of Scandinavia 

 in the Journal of Botany for December, 1889, he informed me 

 that my Dewsbury record was the only English one then known.
