REPORT FOR 1913. 



457 



Viola '? Crooklands, Dalton, v.-c. 69, Aug. 7, 1912.— D. 



LuMB. " Only part of a plant ; no roots sent. Probably V. Lloydii.'^ 

 — E. Drabble. 



Viola Curtisii Forst. Sandhills, Askam, v.-c. 69, May 10, 1913. 

 Dr Drabble describes the terminal lobe of the stipule as entire. 

 These specimens show that it may have as many as four indentations. 

 It would have been quite easy to gather a set to fit Forster's 

 description as given by Mr Druce, Report for 1909, p. 440. These 

 small-flowered plants all occur in the sheep-cropped turfs. Within a 

 yard of this, however, where nursed by marram grass and Rosa 

 spinosissima, large plants occur bearing flowers eleven lines long. 

 One or two plants had a considerable amount of lilac colour in the 

 flowers, but on the same plants flowers ordinarily coloured occurred. — 



D. LuMB. " Probably Curtisii, but no underground parts are present 

 in specimens sent to me." — E. Drabble. 



Viola Curtisii Forster. Sandy coast, Dog's Bay, near Round- 

 stone, Galway W., Aug. 14, 1913. —W. C. Barton. "Yes." 

 — E. Drabble. 



Viola 1 [Ref. No. 100.] Bromeswell Walks, v.-c. 25, May 12, 



1913. — G. C. Brown. " V. Curtisii Forst. (in a broad sense)." — 



E. Drabble. 



Viola Pesueaui E. G. Baker. Sandscale, Dalton, v.-c. 69, May 12, 

 1913. I have divided my gathering into two classes, in each of which 

 there are similar varieties of colours, so that it is not easy to see how 

 correlation can be established. The characters of these groups are : — (1 ) 

 ciliate lamina, large palm, and dark flower go together, but the 2nd and 

 3rd characters frequently break down ; pale flowers are quite uncommon 

 here. (2) non-ciliate lamina, small palm, and paler flowers go 

 together, but the 2nd and 3rd characters frequently break down ; the 

 pale flowers are much more common here. — D. Lumb. " Dr Drabble 

 reports as regards the specimens with the lamina margin ciliate, that 

 if they represent whole plants they are very young, and that there is 

 no characteristic subterranean stem. In the specimens with the 

 lamina margins non ciliate, no underground parts are shown." — Ed. 



Note. — Dr Drabble wishes it to be understood that his naming of 

 pansies only refers to the plants actually seen by him. — Ed. 



Dianthus deltoides, var. glaucus L. Origin, Deganwy nr. Conway, 

 June 27, 1913. — S. H. Bickham. " In the dried state it is diflicult to 

 say whether the foliage is glaucous. Syme says the involucral scales 

 are generally four in glaucus ; in deltoides only two." — G. C. Druce.
