This does not appear to be, as I formerly supposed, a variety of dry 
exposed places, as I found it growing luxuriantly i in the most shady 
places, and under bushes. It is peculiar in its pale colour, great 
‘Bergen ag elongated habit, the latter character being main- 
secre the eet exposed spots. It appears to be a good

in reply toa eostica, ‘Dr, Ascherson says that S, umbrosa Opiz.= 
S. neglecta Weihe = S. media var. r Koch, _ although Syme 
seemed to see a distinction, still I think they are only forms of 
each other.” I certainly think Mr. Waterfalls sdasit, with acutely 
tuberculate seeds, is different from the large form of media with 
bluntly oe seeds, though what names they should respectively 
bear I cannot say.—A. H. W.-D.

E. Norfolk, June 29, 1901—H. D. Guuparr. This has taken 
possession of a tract of land some ‘ited square in North- Kast 
Norfolk, but it very rarely flowers, and, when it does 80, is much 
injured by insects, which bite through the flower stem just before 
the flowers expand. It is not of recent introduction, for I have @ 
specimen dated 1888.—H. D. G. I think this is correct. These 
plants want to be seen alive to study them.—A. Bennett.
