from the Pagham plant, which has narrow leaflets and sub-glabrous 

 calyces. This is very crowded and compact ; leaflets broad, thin ; 

 calyces and pedicels with many long, slender, gland-tipped white hairs. 

 I cannot name it." — E. S. Marshall. " This is aggregate 'purpureum

Er odium cicutarium L'Herit., var. pimpinellifolium Cav. In great 

 quantity in a cornfield, Wigginton Heath, Oxon, July 29, 1914. 

 Petals, 3 longer and paler ; 2 shorter, darker, and spotted. Flowers 

 vary in size. The later flowers do not show spots {% in every case). 

 The spots consist of small very pale areas, which are, except for a 

 narrow rim, filled with close-set very dark crimson splashes and dots, 

 which lie in lines radiating from the very base of the petals, where the 

 veins of the petals begin to diverge. I have never seen the spots 

 described before, and did not know what to expect. The petals are 

 unequal in about the proportion 2:3. The flowers are usually con- 

 siderably larger than in the common plant, which abounds in such 

 places as sand-dunes and waste ground. The var. has been found in 

 Oxford before. — H. J. Riddelsdell. "Just what I understand by 

 that." — E. S. Marshall. " This has the facies of Sibthorp's pimpi- 

 nellifolium, but the petals should be spotted ; an evanescent character, 

 for I have seen spotted and unspotted flowers on the same plant. 

 Kirscher's Flora von Stuttgart has a lengthy disquisition on the biology 

 of this interesting form, which Dillenius was the first to distinguish."

Impatiens Noli-tangere L. Woods about Stock Gill Force, Amble- 

 side, v.-c. 69, July 27, 1914.— C. Waterfall. 



Rhamnus catharticus L. On carboniferous limestone, Silverdale, 

 v.-c. 60, altitude 30 feet. May 29, 1912. These specimens were 

 gathered from a shrub eight to nine feet high, growing by the side of the 

 road leading to Silverdale, and almost opposite the end of the Carn- 

 forth road. The bush has since been cut down to widen the road. 

 The yellow-green colour and mealy character of the foliage were very 

 striking when first gathered. — J. Cryer. 



Acer campestre L., var. leiocarpon Wallr. Ashmans worth, N. Hants, 

 v.-c. 12, September 18, 1914. All these specimens have been seen by 

 Mr A. B. Jackson who assents to the naming. — W. C. Barton. 



Medicago Falcata L. Among gorse on dry heath, Barnham Common, 

 v.-c. 28, August 17, 1914.— F. Robinson. "Yes."— E. S. Marshall. 

 "Nice specimens from, I presume, a native station which is not 

 mentioned in Nicholson's new Flora of Norfolk." — C. E. Salmon. 



Medicago sylvestris Fr. Roadside, gravelly soil, Bawburgh, v.-c. 

 27, July 3, 1914.— F. Robinson.
