REPORT FOR 1914. 



137 



latus, and these appear to be intermediate forms. At Pagham, W. 

 Sussex, v,-c. 13, it occurs on the sea bank in apparently drier situations, 

 though perhaps moisture soaks up from below. — J. E. Little. " Very 

 characteristic." — E. S. Marshall. 



Astragalus glycyphyllos L. Hedgebank, Holme Hall, v.-c. 28, 

 August 26, 1914. — F. Robinson. 



Astragalus danicus Retz. Newmarket Heath, Cambridge, v.-c. 

 29, June cS, 1913. —W. C. Barton. Also sent from dry heath, near 

 Icklingham, W. Suffolk, June 4, 1914. — F. Robinson. 



Oxytropis sericea (Lam.) Simonk. Bettyhill, Sutherland, July 

 1907. Growing very plentifully in blown sand on the coast of West 

 Sutherland at Bettyhill. It was in splendid flower, and was a 

 conspicuous object in the flora of the district. The name urale7isis 

 must, however, give way to that of 0. sericea Simonkai, the trivial of 

 which is earlier than uralensis. — G. C. Druce. 



Vicia lutea L. Beacon Hill, St Osyth, N. Essex, v.-c. 19, July 5, 

 1914. — G. C. Brown. Also sent from field near Lower Sydenham, W. 

 Kent, June 1912. Introduced. —Coll. H. B. Foxlee ; comm. J. Groves. 



Vicia Lathyroides Tj. Maulden, Beds, v. c. 30, April 25, 1914. 

 Many of the roots have come up uninjured from the light sand and 

 show nodules, which I suppose to be Rhizobia containing bacteria and 

 assisting the plant to obtain a supply of nitrogen. — J. E. Little. 



Lathyrus palustris L. Marsh land, edge of ditch, Woodbastwick, 

 v.-c. 27, July 9, 1914.— F. Robinson. 



Ruhus plicatus Wh. & N., forma. Bognor Common, Fittleworth, 

 W. Sussex, v.-c. 13, July 1914. — L. Cumming. " A very singular and 

 constant little form. Though strongly recalling R. fissus in prickles 

 and stem pieces, it goes better under R. plicatus, even its prickles and 

 stem leaves suiting plicatus better. Small and slender as the prickles 

 are, they are really too few in number, too strong, and often too stout 

 based for fissus ; while the basal leaflets of the stem leaves are not 

 always strictly sessile and so hardly differing at all from those of 

 plicatus in July." — ^W. M. Rogers. 



Ruhus afiinis Wh. & N., var. Briggsianus Rogers. Near St 

 David's, Pembroke, August 20, 1903. See Report 1903, p. 14.— Coll. 

 Augustin Ley ; comm. G. C. Druce. 



Ruhus imhricatus Hort. Glen Frome, near Stapleton, Gloucester- 

 shire, August 20, 1913.— J. W. White.
