BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB REPORT, 1902. 
[Tse following notes oe extracted from the Report of the 
Botanical Exchange Club for 1902 (issued 10 December, 1903), 
which is edited by Me, ine Bennett, to whose notes ‘‘ Ed.”’ is 
affixed. The Editor finds occasion to complain of the material 
sent: ‘ The largest contributor’s parcel is a model of ‘how to 
it,’ while some of the smaller ones are just the opposite ’’—the 
‘largest contributor” is the Rey. Augustin Ley, who sends 834 
specimens. As we have said on other occasions, we think the 
Report would be improved by the omission of notes which convey 
no information—e. y. the very first, on a Batrachian Ranunculus, 
Secupy ing seven ye is followed by “Impossible to name the 
specim There are several misprints, the funniest being one 
p. 65 Farioh states that the characters which separate Bromus

‘‘ Bedford ’’ (p. 64, 1. 5 from top) should be ‘‘ Bideford.” Wen 
that Mr. tis still thinks his reference to B. interruptus in the 
Supplement to the shares Journal is equivalent to publi- 
cation; we have (Journ. Bot. 1903, p. 220) given peuees which 
still appear to us conclusive, against this view.—Ep, n. Bor.]

fruits bigest in that direction.’’— OVES.

grew pie (24th June, 1902) on sandhills about a mile north 
of ess a SS Kerry, Ireland, associated with a fair amount of 
he and a small quantity of A. hirsuta (probably var. shabrire 
Syma) rene was PeiriasAbly distinct-looking from both. 
difference that we could detect between type and variety was in the 
latter having the leaf-surfaces hispid, instead of glabrous; it was 
also usually rather more robust. After seeing the true plant, I am 
doubtful about specimens formerly distributed by me as A. ciliata 
var. hispida.—Eipwarp §. Marsnauu. ‘See Journal of Botany, 1903,

two and a half times as long as the sepals. Stems usually de- 
pressed, except the short, erect, central one. It seems to ange
