T thought the comparisons were interesting, so gathered both forms. — 



D. LuMB. "P. Goronopus L., var. pygmaea Lange." — R. M. Cardew 

 and E. G. Baker. 



P. Goronopus L., var. pygmaea Lange. Scarth Hole, Dal ton, v.-c. 

 69, Aug. 26, 1913. These plants occur in such dense tufts that they 

 may be dug up as a sod. — j3. Lumb. " Yes." — R. M. Cardew and 



E. G. Baker. 



Flaiitago Goronopus L., var. pygmaea Lange*? Sandhills, High- 

 town, S. Lanes., v.-c. 59, Aug. 6, 1913, leg. J. A. Wheldon and 

 W. G. Travis; Comm. W. G. Travis. "Yes."— E. G. Baker and 

 R. M. Cardew. 



Plantago ceratophylla Hoffg. and Lk. Shore cliffs. North of Black- 

 pool, W. Lanes., v.-c. 60, Aug. 23, 1913. I think this plant is 

 specifically distinct from P. Goronopus. It exhibits a considerable 

 range of variation in the leaves, longer or shorter, broader or narrower, 

 prostrate or erect, pinnatifid, bipinnatifid or dentate, but always grows 

 in compact, densely leafy tufts, quite unlike those of P. Goronopus. 

 The roots of all the specimens distributed have been several times 

 split to facilitate drying, as the clumps are too large to dry whole. — 

 — J. A. Wheldon. "These specimens are P. ceratophyllon, but we 

 do not consider this is more than a variety of P. Goronopus L. as 

 numerous intermediates occur." — R. M. Cardew and E. G. Baker. 



Plantago Goronopus L., var Sahrinae Cardew and Bak. fil. (see 

 Report 1911, p. 29) - P. serraria Williams. [Ref. No. 9796.] 

 Abundant on the eastern side of Steep Holme, where it is almost 

 the only form. May 23, 1913. Collected in company with Lady 

 Fortescue, Miss Codrington, and Mr Harford. It is certainly the 

 most distinct variety of P. Goronopus which I have yet observed, and 

 may, indeed, prove to be a sub-species. The firm, fleshy leaves, of a 

 brighter green, which are all more erect, are differentiating marks. — 

 G. C. Druce. " Correctly named." — R. M. Cardew and E. G. Baker. 



Plantago maritima L., % var. latifolia Syme. Fistral Beach, 

 Newquay, July 24, 1913. All these specimens are from one plant. 

 The leaves were broader in 1912 tlian in 1913. In 1912 they were 

 as much as one inch broad. — C. C. Vigurs. " Yes." — R. M. Cardew, 

 E. G. Baker and G. C. Druce. 



Plantago lanceolata L., var. Sandy soil near Walton, S. Lanes, 

 v.-c. 59, July 8, 1913. — J. A. Wheldon. "A narrow-leaved form, 

 tending towards var. gramini/olia Wahlberg." — R. M. Cardew and 

 E. G. Baker.
