Melampyrum pratense, L., var. hians, Druce fide Druce 



The Linaria vulgaris with double flowers, occurred about three miles from Tavistock, 

 and was figured in the Gardeners^ Chronicle, 9 November, 1895, p. 554, fig. 96. The calyx 

 and corolla are mostly normal, and the stamens more or less petaloid ; there is no pistil, but 

 in its place there is a second corolla in a peloriate condition. The outer corolla is irregular 

 with a single spur, but the supplementary corolla is regular and has a five-lobed limb and 5 spurs. 

 The spike of inflorescence is about 9 in. long, the flowers being numerous and each, with the 

 spur, I J in. long ; the petaloid stamens are shortly exserted, and the included supplementary 

 corolla is about half inch long. 



FILICES 



The bladder fern is still to be found in the parish of Challacombe in the Barnstaple 

 district. 



At the Linnean Society of London on 15 June, 1899, Mr. W. Whitwell, F.L.S., 

 exhibited a previously undescribed variety of a fern, regarded as belonging to Asplenium Ruta- 

 muraria, L. It had been obtained from an old wall on Dartmoor, about five miles from 

 Plympton. Its chief peculiarities were stated to be the length, three inches, of the lamina, and 

 its narrowness, half an inch. The pinnae were closely set, expanded, and flabellate, partially 

 subdivided, and placed on short stalks on alternate sides of the rhachis ; the contour of the 

 whole thus differed entirely from that of the ordinary forms of A. Ruta-muraria. 



SELAGINELLACEAE 



Sela^nella selaginoides, Gray, has been again reported on fairly satisfactory evidence as 

 occurring in the neighbourhood of Lynton in the Barnstaple district.
