REPORT FOR 1914. 



127 



is the more graceful, less hairy, flavescent petalled plant I recorded as 

 >S^. duhia Herb, in Journ. Bot. 1905, p. 127, where it is mentioned my 

 brother and I saw it in this station (Dungeness) in 1888." — C. E. 

 Salmon. 



Cucuhalus haccifer L. Wood, Merton, v.-c. 28, August 6, 1914. — 

 F. Robinson. " Yes, a most interesting plant of which we know no 

 existing station in Britain." — G. C. Druce. 



Cerastium niqrescens Edmonston { — C. arcticum Lange). [Ref. 

 No. 2355]. Ben Nevis, August 1903.— G. C. Druce. 



Cerastium vulgatum L.. var. pentandrum Syme. Sands of Barry, 

 v.-c. 90, April 26, 1914. — R. & M. Corstorphine. "I believe that 

 this is var. pentandrum Syme (under C. triviale Link), though the 

 sepals are as strongly hyaline-bordered as in G. semidecandrum L." — 

 E. S. Marshall. 



Cerastium semidecandrum L. Sandhills, Askham, v.-c. 69b, March 

 30, 1914. Is this the typical plant "? — D. Lumb. " Yes, a small state." 

 — E. S. Marshall. " Correctly named." — C. E. Salmon. " Yes, and 

 a new county record for 69b." — G. 0. Druce. 



Cerastium semidecandrum L. St Ouen's, Jersey, April 1907. 

 Of. var. Gongestum Gren. — G. C. Druce. " This var. is not mentioned 

 by Rouy and Foucaud. The plant seems to come under var. glandu- 

 losum Koch." — E. S. Marshall. 



Cerastium tetrandrum Curt. Sandhills, Askham, v.-c. 69b, March 

 30, 1914. Ironworks, sandhills, and golf links at Askham; limestone 

 quarry at Staunton. Many plants are to be found flowering during 

 the first week in March. Most of the flowers seem abnormally large 

 through their being five-parted. The lower leaves are markedly 

 spathulate and deeply tinged with reddish purple. Mr Druce agrees 

 with me that it is most likely tetrandrum^ and adds the remark that 

 in all probability much of what is named pentandrum is this plant. — 

 D. Lumb. " Doubtless correct, but gathered too young and depauper- 

 ate."— E. S. Marshall. "Right."— C. E. Salmon. 



Cerastium % [Ref. No. 32]. Hedgebanks, Rocklands, v.-c. 



28, May 4, 1914. — F. Robinson. "This seems to be a robust or shade- 

 grown form of C. arvense L. It agrees with the description of the var. 

 latifolium Fenzl in Ledeb. Fl. Ross, i., p. 412 (1842), which is as 

 follows : — ' Foliis caulinis majoribus, praesertim superioribus e basi 

 late ovata oblongis v. lanceolatis; ramorum ac fasciculorum anguste 

 lanceolatis v. linearibus ; omnibus utrinque pubescentibus, cauliculis 

 palmaribus spithamaeis et altioribus, petalorum lobis late ovatis.'
