REPORT FOR 1913. 



471 



Goriandrum sativum L. Canal bank, Ford, S. Lanes., v.-c. 59, 

 July 15, 1913. A form with lilac-tinted flowers. Hitherto the few 

 examples I have seen near Liverpool have had white flowers. — J. A. 

 Wheldon. " Yes." — G. C. Druce. 



Hedera Helix L., var. borealis Druce. (See Report for 1912, p. 162). 

 Sligachan, Skye, December 1912. This narrow-leaved form appears 

 to be the common one of Skye. It will be noticed that the flowers 

 are only appearing in December. I was anxious to obtain an 

 Orkney specimen, but Lieutenant-Colonel H. Halcro Johnston, who 

 kindly visited Bethsdale in Hoy on Nov. 4, is afraid the plant is now 

 extinct there. Thirty years ago he saw a clump of it on a bank at 

 the burnside. This has now, owing to a landslide, been destroyed, 

 nor was he able to see any in the rocky ravine. — G. C. Druce. 



Hedera Helix L., var. sarniensis Druce. (See Report for 1 9 1 2, p. 163.) 

 These specimens, which are not very satisfactorily dried, and are only 

 the summer foliage, are from St Martin's, Guernsey, but it appears to 

 be the commoner form of the island, and through the kindness of Mr 

 Attenborough I have some, although not so extreme in the flowering 

 state, from Jersey. The Petit Bot, Guernsey, plants are an extreme 

 form. Aug. 1, 1913.— G. C. Druce. 



Sambucus nigra, var. laciniata Mill. Sible Hedingham, v.-c. 19, 

 June 29, 1913. — G. C. Brown. "Yes, I have seen it growing there, 

 doubtless introduced. The authority is Linnaeus not Miller." — G. C. 

 Druce. 



Rubia peregrina L. Near Daddy Hole Plain, Torquay, S. Devon, 

 July 9, 1913. — C. Waterfall. 



Galium erectum x verum. [Ref. No. 129. | Gravelly roadside, 

 Stan way, N. Essex, June 6, 1913. G. verum was quite common, and 

 several plants of G. erectum were growing within a foot of the hybrid, 

 which could be distinguished at a glance by its sulphur-coloured 

 flowers, and taller and more luxuriant habit than verum. The clump 

 is very large and apparently long established. — G. C. Brown. "Yes, 

 probably this hybrid." — G. C. Druce. 



Galium erectum x veriim. Origin, Wood Walton, Hunts. Hort. 

 Druce. Aug. 1913. Retaining its character in cultivation. — G. C. Druce. 



Galium palustre L., var. Witherifigii Sm. Ditch sides, Wood vale, 

 S. Lanes., v.-c. 59, July 19, 1913.— W. G. Travis. "Not very 

 typical Witheringii, I should scarcely label it so." — G. C. Druce. 



Galium Vaillantii DC. [Ref. No. 3912.] Frequent among the 

 crops, especially potatoes (one or two plants occurred in a peat pit),
