Lotus corniculatus L., var. crassifolius Pers. Sand dunes, Formby, 

 S. Lanes., v.-c. 59, July 1912. Referred with some doubt to the 

 variety mentioned, with which it agrees in respect to the small fleshy 

 leaves, but is not the var. crassifolius Pers. glabrous'? I should be 

 glad if some member would quote the original description. Attention 

 may be called to the shape of the sepals in my plant, which are shorter 

 and more abruptly acuminate than in the type, where they are subulate 

 from a triangular base. If my plants are correctly referred to the 

 variety crassifolius, I am satisfied that it cannot be dismissed as a 

 mere state, as is sometimes done. — W. G. Travis. "Yes. a form I 

 suppose, rather than a true variety. Why not test it in culture ? 

 Persoon {Sy7i. ii., 354, 1807) describes it as " pilosus, foliol. ovatis 

 carnulosis, caulib. foliosis prostratis, radice crassa fibrosa." — G. C. 

 Druce. 



Vicia sylvatica L. By the Allt Odhar, at 700 feet, Fortingal, 

 v.-c. 88, Mid Perth, July 26, 1913. Locally plentiful, and very fine. 

 As it has dried nicely, a few members may be glad to have specimens
