REPOET FOR 1913. 



461 



Spergularia athenierisis Aschers. Par, E. Cornwall, July 12, 

 1913, Aug. 28, 1913, and Nov. 25, 1913. Better specimens than 

 those sent last year. I cannot agree that a central rosette of leaves 

 is always absent. — C. C. Vigurs. Yes, mine is an excellent 

 example." — C. E. Salmon. "Of the two sheets I have seen (1) Oct. 

 25, 1913, approaches my No. 39 ; (2) July 12, 1913, varies towards 

 S. salina.'' — W. C. Barton. 



Spergularia atheniensis Asch. and Schw. [Ref. No. 10001.] See 

 Beport 1906, 196; 1912, 238. L'Eree, Guernsey. Locally plentiful, 

 Aug. 1, 1913. Growing in partial shade and shelter. — G. C. Druce. 

 " This has the seeds of S. atheniensis, but in all other respects agrees 

 very closely with my No 42 gathered m the same spot in 1912. I 

 still doubt its being true atheniensis, which is described " cyma 

 densiflora subaphylla, pedunculis capsulam vix aequantibus vel ea 

 brevioribus." It differs from my No. 39 (and No. 590 De Heldreich 

 Herb. Graec. No7'm.) in the larger flowers (4 — 5 mm. as compared with 

 2 J — 3 mm.), and longer pedicels H — 2 times as long as capsule. Tn 

 these respects it approaches S. salina. I have a series of forms 

 connecting my No. 39 and No. 42, and am inclined to think these 

 forms are due to crossing between S. atheniensis and S. salina. (See 

 Report for 1912, p. 239."— W. C. Barton. 



Polycarpon tetraphyllum L. Bel Boyal, Jersey, June 7, 1913. I 

 gathered this plant in three localities — St Aubin's, Bel Boyal, and the 

 Waterworks Valley, Jersey, and should be glad to know if they 

 are all the same variety of P. tetraphyllum. — A. Webster. 



Claytonia parvifolia M09. (C. jilicaulis Douglas.) Wood walk, 

 Seagram Hall, Preston, W. Lanes., June 6, 1913. — S. H. Bickham. 



Hypericum, 1 [Ref. No. 3787.] Roadside banks Vet ween 



Lawers and Fearnan, v.-c. 88, Mid Perth, Sept. 4, 1913 This was 

 first noticed, in bud, on July 14, by Messrs Salmon, Shoolbred, and 

 myself. A smaller state occurs near Fortingal. On July 28, it was 

 seen in full bloom, but I then omitted to gather it, being in a hurry. 

 Afterwards, Dr Moss and I collected it by that time almost out of 

 flower. Clearly it comes very near to what has been named //. 

 maculatum Crantz, H. duhium Leers, or H. quadrangulum L. (this I 

 have seen, well-marked, between Blair Atholl and Killiecrankie) ; 

 but it is much weaker, has smaller blossoms of a paler yellow, and there 

 are few (if any) pellucid dots on the leaves. — E. S. Marshall. " Is 

 this not H. quadrangulum L,, var. punctatum% I see there are a few 

 dots among the translucent veins." — G. C. Druce. " Variety 

 punctatum Schinz {Bull. Herb. Boiss. 1903, p. 22) has leaves with 

 numerous pellucid dots." — Ep,
