It was first r nce for that locality by the 
Glasson i in the Trans. Penzance Nat. Hist. t. and Ais: ess ‘for 1888. 
onths earlie There is s no metic doom near, and nothing to point to 
the origin of “this Kamschatkan species in such an unexpected 
locality. For further valuable information about this plant in 
Britain, see Journ. Bot. 1894, pp. cant and 1895, p. 316; also 
Colgan’s Flora of County Dublin, p. 110—F.H. Davey. ~ 
Myosotis arvensis Lam. var. hee Bab. Under shaded 
hedgerows, South Croxton, Leicestershire, v.-c. 55, Ma ay 30th, 
1906. The flowers were as conspicuous as those of M. sylvatica, 
to which it bears a morphic resemblance until examined 
more ae but in the process of drying they quickly lose their 
character. The variety seems to be a much taller, more hirsute, 
and more robust form of the type, the ooo facies being quite 
distinct, apart from the emphasized difference in the flowers.— 
A. R. Horw woop. In March, 1889, Prof. Babington wrote to me 
as follows :—*I have struck the word wmbrosa out, and am sorry 
to find it in the Lond. Cat. I believe it to be only a shade-plant 
with broader leaves and larger flowers, but undeserving of special 
notice.” It is expunged from Bab. Man. ed. ix.—E. 8. MarsHaun.

Lint I have never seen be oe growing on clover or in 
catienae fields; it occurs on very many species by roadsides, 
especially by streams on athe, Calystegia, &¢.— A. BENNETT. 
Fringed scales present in my specimens, but very hard to see in 
old flowers. I, too, have never seen this species on clover.— 
C.E.8. (2) Hedgerow and field, Comberton, Cambridgeshire, 
August, 1906.—E. J. Atuarp. I think correct—S.H.B. I am 
inclined to agree to this being C. euwropea.—tE. F. Linton. Both 
these plants seem to me not to be the true ewropea, but the var. 
nefrens Fries, Herb. Normale, xi. 17. I am not sure of my ag 
misses, but I ‘have failed to find the scales with corolla ; if prese 
they are so assimilated with the corolla in drying that I have failed 
o see them; when fresh, in the ordinary form, t are easily 
seen. If the scales are absent or nearly obsolete, then it is is Fries’ 
plant. This form has been found in Percy er (Thirsk, Yorkshire, 
and a Twyoross, Leicestershire) ; cf. Syme, Eng. Bot. vi. (1866),

i pe danske Flora, he iy. p. 483) says of the variety :—Form £, 
which, acco’ to Fries, is found on Vicia sativa, i is Pt a 
distinet species, which deserves further investigation.” He identi-
