The general aspect of the bush recalled tomentella, and I think Mr. 
Marshall’s suggestion that this is one of the parents is probably 
correct.—A. H. Wottey-Don. 
R. systyla, sp. coll. Near Lavington Church, West Sussex, 13th 
July, 1902. I send four forms which might, probably, have all been 
more correctly labelled R. systyla, but, as I cannot see characters 
restricting them to that segregate, I prefer to leave them under the 
aggregate species of the London Catalogue. Form 1 may represent 
normal R. systyla Bast. Form 2 differs essentially in its glabrous 
peduncles, and, in most of the specimens, in short styles and rather 
small, somewhat roundish fruit. Form 8 has small, very round 
fruit, and in this respect resembles interim states of Form 2, but 
the style-column is always conspicuously protruded, and the pe- 
duncles, though less strongly setose than usual, are decidedly so. 
forms, and that I could not make an exactly equal number of a 
our forms, so that one of each could be distributed together.—

R. pomifera Herrm. For several years I have known of the 
existence of one bush of this rose in a hedgerow near Tidenham 
Chase, and on one occasion sent specimens to the Club, but have 
never been able to get it satisfactorily named. This year, while 
out with me, Mr. Marshall discovered another bush at the border 
of the wildest part of the common, and specimens shown by him 
to the Rev. W. M. Rogers were by him named as above.—W. A:

Pyrus intermedia Ehrh. Rocks in Cheddar Gorge, North Somerset; 
80th July, 1902. This addition to the Somerset county flora is due 
to the keen eye of Rev. Augustin Ley, who detected one or two sm 
bushes without fruit in the autumn of 1901. Other trees, yielding 
these specimens, were found this sammer.—Jas. W. Wuarre. 
renewed search, I came upon the fine tree—thirty feet-—from which 
these specimens were taken,—Jas. W. Wurre. 
Galium erectum Huds. Stony ground on Breakheart Hill, Dursley, 
West Gloucester, 27th August, 1902. I agree with Hewett Watson in 
his expressed opinion that this is a difficult species, and not we 
understood by all of us. And this is probably the reason why the 
station here given is the only one with which I am acquainted within 
many miles of Bristol. New county record.—Jas. W. Waite. 
Aster Tripolium L., var. discoidea, Salt-marsh near Hunstanton, 
West Norfolk, Ist September, 1902. With these plants occurred a 
form intermediate in character, a few ligulate florets being noticeable. 
Major Wolley-Dod has noticed that this is particularly the case when 
the plants are liable to be covered at high tides. The Hunstanton
