I should call B. intermedia Bor." — C. E. Salmon. "Looks right." — 

 E. S. Marshall. 



Barharea vulgaris Bor. Railway, Askham, v.-c. 69b, July 5, 1914. 

 I have named this with some doubt. All these plants may possibly 

 belong to the other set. — D. Lumb. " B. intermedia Bor., I think, but 

 specimens badly dried." — A. B. Jackson. " Is B. intermedia Bor." — 

 A. Thellung. 



Barharea vulgaris R. Br., var. campestris Fr. Nov. Fl. Suec, p. 

 205, 1828. Stiff' clay soil on railway embankment between Alperton 

 and Sudbury, Middlesex, May 22, 1914. This, the commonest variety 

 of B. vulgaris in Britain, is distinguished by its slightly spreading or 

 secund pods, but it passes gradually into the var. arcuata Fr. (pods 

 arcuate) on the one hand, and into var. sylvestris (pods adpressed) on 

 the other. — A. B. Jackson. 



Arabis hirsuta Scop., var. Symond's Yat, W. Glos, May 28, 1913. 

 Of course only a slight variety, with the pods somewhat spreading. 

 As a rule, the species has closely adpressed pods, even in shady woods ; 

 the variety is not due, as it seems, to the presence of shade. There is 

 a parallel variety in Barharea vulgaris. The form occurs also on the 

 Great Do ward, v.-c. 36. The sparseness of the hairs is probably due 

 to the less exposed conditions. — H. J. Riddelsdell. " I collected 

 this (same place and date) and thought it untypical. No special name 

 suggested so far."— E. S. Marshall. "This seems nearest to var. 

 gracilescens (Jord.) R. k F. Fl. Fr. i., 216. Plante assez elevee (3 — 5 

 dcm.) mais a tiges greles flexueuses ; feuilles d'un vert clair, les caulin- 

 aires tronquees ou legerement subcordees, lanceolees ou oblongues- 

 lanceolees, acutiuscules, nombreuses, a 4 dents souvent saillantes ; 

 siliques (25 —35 mm.) etroitement lineaires, disposees en grappe 

 allongee, laclie. I have the same form from Wells, Somerset ; Culford, 

 Suffolk."— G. C. Druce. 



Arabis scabra All. Clifton, W. Glos., v.-c. 34, April 27, 1914. — 

 W. C. Barton. 



Arabis alpina L. North side of the Cuchullins, Skye, June 1910. 

 — G. C. Druce and T. H. Leach. This was from a different locality 

 on the Cuchullins to that which was discovered by Mr H. Hart in 

 1887, and is, I believe, the second time it has been gathered in the 

 British Isles. Mr Hart's specimens, gathered on his wedding tour in 

 the first week in July, are in fruit ; ours gathered in June are m good 

 flower. The plant is very local and requires climbing to reach 

 (2700—2800 ft. alt.), growing on damp rock ledges. Mr A. H. Evans 

 and Mr T. H. Leach (my godson) were with me, and the latter was 

 the first to spot the prize, for we were systematically working the
