near Ashcott Station, N. Somerset, v.-c. 6 ; also in a turnip field near 

 Shapwick Station, Sept. 25, 1913. This had previously only been 

 found in the county, as a casual, near Bath ; here it seems to be well 

 established. Flowers small, green ; fruit small, hispid-hooked, with- 

 out tubercles. The habit differs considerably from that of G. Aparine 

 L.; the leaves are of a brighter paler green, and it is less flaccid. — 

 E. S. Marshall. "This may be the same as the Saffron Walden 

 plant, but whether that should be called G. Vaillantii seems open to 

 doubt. I have not seen De Candolle's original description or specimens, 

 but the French floras at hand describe that plant as being not hairy 

 above the nodes, and the fruit hairs not hooked. Mr Marshall's 

 plant does not agree with this diagnosis."— C. E. Salmon. " Yes, the 

 Essex plant and a new county record, I believe." — G. C. Druce. 



Sherardia arveiisis L., var. maritima Griseb. (Asperula Sherardi, 

 var. maritima (Griseb.) ). Arable field, Twinstead, Essex, and the 

 common form, July 1913. This is the plant with the calyx teeth 

 nearly or quite obsolete. — G. C. Druce. 



Valerianella olitoria Poll., var. lasiocarpa Reichb. Sandscale, 

 Dalton, v.-c. 69, Aug. 18, 1913. — D. Lumb. "May pass, but fruit is 

 often much more hairy in this variety." — C. E. Salmon. 



V. carinata Lois. Wall-top on way to Daddy Hole Plain, 

 Torquay, S. Devon, June 16, 1913. — C. Waterfall. "Correct." — Ed. 



Scahiosa Succisa L,, (1) var. hispidula. Scrub on "clay with 

 flints," Ditcham Park, Hants, Sept. 21, 1913. — R. S. Adamson. 

 " Succisa 2)^(^t^'i^^i^, var. hispidula Peterm. Fl. Lips. 119 (1838), is 

 described as having the leaves all quite entire. Yar. hirsuta Reichenb., 

 Icon, xii., 22, fig. 1386 (1850), has most of the stem leaves coarsely 

 dentate. Mr Adamson's plant would appear to belong to the latter, 

 although less markedly dentate than the plant figured." — A. J. Wilmott. 



Aster longifolius Lam. [Ref. No. 1191.] Extensively and com- 

 pletely naturalised near Yarnton, Oxon, Sept. 1913. — G. C. Druce. 



Aster Linosyris Bernh. Durl Head, near Brixham, S. Devon, 

 Aug. 1913. — C. Waterfall. 



Aster 1 Clover field, Walton, S. Lanes., v.-c. 59, Aug. 1, 1913. 



Growing with Rumex salicifolius and otlier aliens. — J. A. Wheldon. 

 Erigeron annuus (L.) Pers." — A. Thelluno. 



Erigero7i acre L., var. serotinum (Weihe). Sand dunes, Ainsdale, 

 S. Lanes., v.-c. 59, June 22, 1913. I su[)pose under this sub-species, 

 although the pappus is never reddish with us, but of a duller white than 

 in E. corymhosum Weihe. — J. A. Wheldon.
