SHORT NOTES. 
Ratemwostrnon.—Mr. K. Yendo, having seen our paper (Jou 
Bot. 1904, 363), has written as follows:—‘I have a the as 
in Japan several years ago. I th sighs it nerd to Montagne’s 
species, but as I had some doubt (especially on the anastomosing 
character), I sent some of the specimen to Prof. N. Wille. He 
: 
Montagne who collected the alga. It was collected in July, 1900, 
in the province Hiuga, neil : This i is an ee gen a to 
Archipelago in 1885 and 1900; and K. Yendo in Japan in the 
latter year. The genus having proved to be badly romeo the 
name of the plant is now Udotea javensis.—A. & E. 8. 
Gatzopsis Lapanum L.—Under this name sh new eciliep 
records are given in the March number of this Journal, viz. for 
Glamorgan (p. 93) and for wt Lancashire (p. 95 ). What plant 
is meant by this specific name? The Student’s Flora (ed. 8) 
divides G. Ladanum L. into Gi tapabiie “* @. Ladanum proper ML 
Herb.)” with G. intermedia Vill. as a synonym, and ’G. angustifolia 
Ehrh. with synonym of G. canescens Schultz. Two counties only, 
prevailing form. The a a of British Botany (ed. 9) arranges 
the species thus :—G. Ladanum L.=G. angustifolia cone BG. in- 
er (Vill.) ; y G. canescens (Schultz). Only Moray is men- 
tioned for B, though two other localities in Pibhet and Ange ore 
were recorded in Journ. Bot. » pp. ; 5 1 
pointed out that in the London Catalogue (eds. 8 and 9), Gd. La aa: 
num L. stands for the rare species G. intermedia Vill., while G. an- 
gustifolia Ehrh., numbered as a distinct species, represents the com- 
mon form. This variation in the meaning of G. Ladanum L. 
should be borne in mind, and those using the gored would do well 
to a an pare pteriie synonym or note. =. ¥. Le 
ARIA PARVIFLORA Lam.—I was much spin by finding 
‘ was, in fact, almost as plentiful as F’. officinalis 
densiflora also occurred in small quantity. A large amount of land 
was under cultivation, and so f. I was to examine it, F. 
first authentic notice of its occurrence in Dorset. Mr. Moyle 
Rogers tells me that he has seen the specimens which did duty for 
Dorset ‘ parviflora’’ in the first edition of Topogr rg: Botany, 
and that they are st the true plant.—R. P. Murra
