Erophila. [Ref. No. 52.] Codicote, High Heath, Herts, April 

 13, 1912, May 1, 1913. Ant-hills and bare spots on dry, stony 

 loam and gravel. — J. E. Little. "Near E. decipiens Jord." — J. A. 

 Wheldon. " I think that this is what I have referred to E. 

 virescens Jord., but the material is not very ^ood." — E. S. Marshall. 



Erophila. [Ref. No. 53.] Mardley Heath, Herts, April 12, 



1912. Dry sandy gravel on roadside, in grass on edge of ditch. Mr 

 Wheldon considers it near E. decipiens Jord. — J. E. Little. 

 " Probably the same as No. 52, but only three poor specimens are on 

 my sheet." — E. S. Marshall. 



Erophila stenocarpa Jord. [Ref. No. 60.] Stony loam, in corn, St 

 Ippolyts, Herts, v.-c. 20, May 1913. Tliis plant seems to me 

 to fulfil the requirements of E. stenocarpa more nearly than any I have 

 as yet seen in a growing state. Mr J. A. Wheldon writes that much 

 of what at first sight looks like E. stenocarpa is to him degenerate E. 

 majnscula — plants on which he expressed this opinion are marked by 

 great variation of the pods on the same plant. — J. E. Little. " Yes, 

 I think so." — C. E. Salmon. " Correct."— E. S. Marshall. 



Erophila 1 proicox DC. Wall tops. Abbey Road, Barrow- 

 in-Furness, v.-c. 69, April 12, 1913. — D. Lumb. "I think the plant 

 is E. virescens Jord., rather than E. hrachycarpa Jord., but I should 

 like to see further examples with better root-leaves." — C. E. Salmon. 

 "Yes," E. pra^cox DC, I should sabj = E. hrachycarpa Jord." — C. E. 

 Britton and E. S. Marshall. 



Erophila prcecox DC. [Ref. No. 50.] Fell's Nurseries, Hitchen, 

 Herts, April 12, 1913.— J. E. Little. 



Cochlearia micacea E. S. Marshall. [Ref. No. 3776.] Plentiful in 

 wet places (more rarely on rather dry rocks), Meall Gaibh (of Ben 

 Lawers), between 2500 and 3500 feet, v.-c. 88, Mid Perth, July 16, 



1913. These specimens well illustrate the species in the flowering 

 stage, when it is a very pretty plant. Dr Moss remarked to me, in 

 early September, that it was quite unlike the C. alpina of the 

 Pennines ; and this applies equally to the usual mountain plant of 

 N. England, Wales, and Scotland, which was not observed on the 

 Glen Lyon mountains. It ascends to about 3950 feet on Ben Lawers ; 

 the form with long, jujube-shaped pods is much scarcer than the one 

 with ovoid fruit. There is often a suggestion of C. danica in the 

 leaves, though not in the flowers. — E. S. Marshall. 



Cochlearia danica J^., forma. St Osyth Marshes, N. Essex, v.-c. 19, 

 April 20, 1913. — G. C. Brown. " Yes, it lacked personal authority in 

 Top. Bot:'—Q. 0. Druce,
