man (P. aviculare L., pro parte). It looks like a slender P. agrestinum 

 Jord., as understood by Syme. — E. S. Marshall. "Under P. hetero- 

 phylLum Lindman." — G. C. Druce. 



Polygonum aviculare L. Prescot, S. Lanes, v.-c. 59. Leg. Rev. 

 M. TooLEY ; Comm. W. G. Travis. " This comes under P. aequale 

 Lindman, I think." — Ed. 



Polygonum aviculare L., var. rurivagum (Jord.). Arable land, 

 Malvern Wells, Worcester, Sept. 25, 1913. Coll. R. F. Towndrow ; 

 Comm. S. H. Bickham. " Under P. heterophyllum Lindman." — G. C. 

 Druce. 



Polygonum maculatum Trim, and Dyer. Goose Green, Hertford 

 Heath, Herts, v.-c. 20, Oct. 1, 1913. Spots on stem few, faint, small. 

 Young leaves tomentose. Styles slightly conjoined. Flowers dull 

 pink. — J. E. Little. 



Polygonum maculatum Trim, and Dyer. Burnham Green, Herts, 

 v.-c. 20, Oct. 6, 1913. The same remarks apply as to the plants from 

 Gorse Green, Hertford, Heath. Fruit concave on both sides. — J. E. 

 Little. "I think these are P. lapathifolium L." — G. C. Druce. 

 "I should refer both these gatherings to P. maculatum Trim, and 

 Dyer {P. nodosum). The plants seem too small and the perianth 

 too pink for P. lapathifolium L." — Ed. 



Polygonum minus Huds. This bright red-flowered plant is from 

 Port Meadon, Oxon, Oct. 1913.--G. C. Druce. " This appears to be 

 P. minus, var. elatum Moss, judging from specimens so named by Dr 

 Moss in my herbarium, but the figures and specimens quoted as this 

 in the Cambridge British Flora are conflicting." — Ed. 



Polygonum minus Huds 1 Goose Green, Hertford Heath, Herts, 

 v.-c. 20, Oct. 2, 1912. Mr Druce wished for a further gathering, 

 which I made on Oct. 1, 1913, and sent fresh to him. The stems 

 were mostly procumbent, with slightly ascending spikes. In lit. (Nov. 

 20, 1913) he names it var. erectum. There were several other species 

 growing with it. — J. E. Little. "This does not agree with the 

 description of var. suhco7itiguum forma aquatica Moss in the Cam- 

 bridge British Flora ii., 122 (1914), which is there made synon3^mous 

 with P. minus var. erectum Rouy Fl. France xii., 103, 1910, but it 

 appears to be a form of P. minus Huds., or possibly a hybrid with 

 minus as one of the parents." — Ed. 



Polygonum minus Huds. [Ref. No. 381.] On mud-covered slate 

 at 600 ft.. High Dam Tarn, N. Lanes., v.-c. 69 b., Oct. 18, 1913. A 

 new record for this area. Occurs sparingly on the rocky shores of this
