broader, and much less divergent.

B. vulgaris ee une "(e urn. Bot. xxv. p. 84, 1887), a: as his speci- 
men—in rit.—shows. During the intervening years 
Ham e, Sussex, Somerset, Gloucestershire, Surrey, Berkshire, 
Gantiipethee and Hertfordshire. In Ca mbridgeshire the plant 
as been found in three localities, one on low-lying calcareous old 
ver gravel, and two on calcareous glacial clay. Iam inclined to 
think the plant is a new-comer, for although closely allied to B. 
vulgaris (Li. Sp. Pl. 600 (1753), excl. vars.), it is so easy to distin- 
guish at i see that it is scarcely to be imagined that it eluded the 
British field-botanists oe en =e year 1887. It is 
not a sritival plant in the ordinary sense of the term; and it is 
by no means inconspicuous. = the two > Cambridgeshire stations 
on glacial clay, the plant occurs in grass-sown fields which were 
formerly under the a ae pale in its Hertfordshire station, it 
occurs in a portion of a ploughed field which is now fallow
