Fumaria paradoxa Pugsley. Orig. near Reigate Hill, Surrey, 

 1912, Hort. Reigate, 1914. It is difficult to imagine a more beauti- 

 ful Fumitory, when in a fresh state, than the one now distributed. 

 It is a mystery how the plant reached the cultivated ground near the 

 farm on Reigate Hill where I gathered it on June 16, 1912. Not far 

 away were Thlaspi arvense, Lolium temulentum, and two or three 

 plants of Hyoscyamus. Could the Fumaria hav^e been accidentally 

 introduced with potatoes from Cornwall ? — C. E. Salmon. " Yes ; I 

 have rarely seen cultivated specimens of Fumaria so satisfactory as 

 this."— H. W. Pugsley. 



Fumaria capreolata L., var. Bahingtonii Pugsley. Blackhead, Co. 

 Clare, June 1909. — G. C. Druce. "Showing no fruit, but no doubt 

 correctly named." — H. W. Pugsley. 



Fumaria B or cei J ord. [Ref. No. 1168.] Chobham, Surrey. May 

 31, 1914.— C. E. Britton. "Yes; under type, I believe." -E. S. 

 Marshall. ' Correct ; near Jordan's type, but with rather small 

 flowers and fruits. This is a rare plant in Surrey." — H. W. Pugsley. 



Fumaria ? Odiham, Hampshire, July 1903. (See Report 1903,

Fumaria Bastardi Bor. [F. confusa Jord.). Arable land near 

 Llangollen, Denbigh, v.-c. 50, September 20, 1914. — C. Waterfall. 

 " Yes. The sheet sent is var. hibernica Pugsley. Easily distinguish- 

 able by its dark-tipped upper petal." — H. W. Pugsley. 



Fumaria officinalis L., var. % This appeared in great abundance 

 in a ploughed field at Charlestown, Baildon, v.-c. 64, June 1, 1914. — 

 J. Cryer. " A narrow-leaved form ; but I do not see the varietal 

 character." — E. S. Marshall. " The sheet sent is a floriferous, early 

 flowering form of F. ojfficiualis L., var. Wirtgeni Haussk., but some of 

 the fruits enclosed in the envelope are difierent from the majority, 

 and appear to have come from a plant of F. offici7ialis type." — H. W. 

 Pugsley. 



Barharea verna Ascher. Garden weed, Colchester, v.-c. 19, May 

 23, 1914.— G. C. Brown. " Rightly named."— C. E. Salmon. "Yes ; 

 very characteristic." — A. B. Jackson. 



Barharea verna Ascher. Railway, Askam, v.-c. 69b, July 5, 1914. 

 Woods gives as a character of this plant " auricles ciliate." Is any 

 member able to say whether this is constant and diagnostic There 

 were what seemed to me two plants growing together, and I feel cer- 

 tain that I have failed to separate them ; in all probability I have 

 paid too much attention to " ciliate auricles." — D. Lumb. " No ; this
