Oenothera. The plant long naturalized on the sandhills near 

 Berrow struck me as being different from ordinary (E. biennis L. 

 Specimens were sent to Dr. Focke, who replied thus : — " Your 

 Somersetshire Oenothera indeed appears to agree with the form 

 which I have distinguished as (E. ammophila. It belongs, perhaps 

 as a subspecies, to CE. muricata, with which it has this point in 

 common, that the leaf-rosette rises above the ground on a short 

 stalk at the end of the first summer. In CE. biennis there is no 

 such overground stalk. In the size of its flowers (E. ammophila 

 comes midway between (E. biennis and (E. muricata. So far as I 

 can see, your Somerset plant agrees in all material points with the 

 (E. ammophila which we have here ; whereas I have received from 

 the sandy Lancashire coast (E. Lamarckiana, the flowers of which 

 are larger than those of (E. biennis" A note on (E. ammophila 

 will be found in Joiirn. Bot. 1905, p. 32. I believe that the evening 

 primrose which grows in profusion on the Carmarthenshire sand- 

 hills near Pembrey and Kidwelly is the same thing.
