Apart from Hide much greater size, the coronal leaves of this 
plant are almost exactly those of A. tenuifolia N. H. Br., close to 
which it should be placed. In other points there is so muc 
difference between the two that further comparison is unnecessary.

SHORT NOTES. 
PetoriA In Pansy.—Through the kindness of Mr. F. J. Chit- 
tenden, F.L.S., Director of the Royal Hort icultural Society's 
is the first time I have seen this modification in the pansy, and 
Mr. Chittenden informs me that he was not previously acquainted 
with it. Hence it may be desirable to put on record the structure 
of these flowers. The calyces differed in the two specimens. In 
were only four free sepals, the two anterior ones being united to 
form an oblong structure, bifid at the end, and half as long again 
as the other sepals. The calycine appendage of this double sepal 
was large and trilobed. The petals in each flower were more 
nearly equal than is usual in the pansy, and each was provided 
with a wekdanaiped spur, that of the anterior petal being the 
longest. The two anterior stamens were appe ndaged as usual, 
the other three stamens being without appendages in the flowers

Herrestis Monniera H. B. K. in Spain.—The Rev. P. B.

has collected in various places in Galicia, mostly on the coast. It
