plant may, after all, be only a very luxuriant form of the type. 
The flowers and the barren shoots at the base are entirely those 
of maritima ; but the considerably mete ge co is ee any- 
thing I have seen in that species. This een best in the July 
gathering; the reed branches hardly saneeidal the init tiene 
and might well be put to maritima pure and simple. strong 
point in favour of hybridity is that the capsules are quite barren 
and undeveloped, while good maritima growing alongside of it in 
the Arsenal produces seed in Soar dance. The plant in its natural 
station has now succumbed to new buildings for the production of 
war material, and S. mat for West Kent, has gone with it.—

Lotus corniculatus L. Starved foitun oneal Edge, Derby- 
shire, 22nd July, 1898. Grows with the type for nearly a mile 
along the south face of a dry limestone declivity. At first sight I 
took it for.a good variety, but now consider it rather a local form 
due to want of nourishment in the soil and drought. I have also 
seen it near Baslow, along a dry mrs track. It differs from the 
type in the much smaller flowers, the standard -e ee reflexed,

23rd Au On this plant Ravi W. M. Rogers sends me 
the following interesting note :—‘ The Bolston Wood plant seems 
nearer to R. Lettii than to R. criniger, being on the whole perhaps 
nearest to R. Gelertii, with R. Lettii between it and R. criniger. 
From the very constant Irish plant of Co. Down and Armagh it 
differs (? constantly) by closer pubescence on stem (in that io 
character most like criniger), the clothing of the stem of R. 
— of longer, looser, more conspicuously white hairs, . . -
