on a sandy heath. Since its first discovery in Surrey, a further 
station has been found for it, a mile or more distant, by another 
above Reigate, a range that produces Galiwm asperum 
(syluestre) ans Salvia pratensis. It may be well to mention here 
in Journ, 
it is mentioned that some authors prefer to call it a subspecies 
or variety of S. nutans, a species so far unknown in Surrey, 
though occurring in the oe eo of Kent. The Surrey 
S. dubia seems slightly more hairy than the plants I have from 
ii ma ind bach duts ‘(Kent), and Bevendean (Sussex).—C. E.
