REPORT FOR 1914. 



157 



Plantago Goronopus L., var. [Ref. No. 4050]. Sandstone cliffs, 

 Sidmouth, S. Devon, v.-c. 3, June 8, 1914. Very large (all my 

 gathering came from two plants) ; biennial. — E. S. Marshall. 



Plantago Goronopus L., form or var. [Ref. No. 4049]. Sandy 

 ground near the coast, Berrow, N. Somerset, v.-c. 6, June 4, 1914. 

 Apparently biennial ; closely appressed to the ground. May be only 

 a peculiar state of the type.^ — E. S. Marshall. "P. Goronopus L., 

 var. transiens Beguinot." — R. M. Cardew and E. G. Baker. 



Plantago Lagopus L. [Ref. No. 717.] On cotton-seed refuse, 

 Hythe Quay, Colchester, N. Essex, v.-c. 19, June 1914. Apparently 

 referable to this, though the dark, villous part of the dorsal portion 

 of the sepal is narrower than in that of an old specimen from the 

 Isle of Elba in my herbarium. — G. C. Brown. "Correct." — E. G. 

 Baker. " Yes, forma glahris (corollye lobis extus glabris nec pilosis)." 

 — A. Thellung. 



Plantago major L., var. intermedia (Gilib.) Barnards Green, 

 near Malvern, Worcester, v.-c. 37, August 17, 1914. — Coll. R. F. 

 TowNDROW ; comm. S. H. Bickham. " Plantago major L., var. 

 intermedia Syme."— R. M. Cardew and E. G. Baker. "My single 

 specimen differs from the description of P. intermedia in Williams 

 Prodr. Fl. Brit., pp. 354-5. Not very hairy ; leaves not coarsely toothed 

 towards the base, (fee. But it comes near what is usually so named 

 with us. — E. S. Marshall. Also sent from Sands of Barry, v.-c. 90, 

 Aug. 10, 1914. — R. & M. Corstorphine. "The P. intermedia of 

 Gilibert is an entirely -different plant. It is figured and described by 

 this author in his Histoire des Plantes di' Europe in 1806. His figure 

 shows a plant with sessile strongly serrate leaves, reaching 2 in. long, 

 and 1 inch broad. The scapes are hairy, and the spikes dense and 

 short. The whole plant rather suggests a form of P. media L." — 

 R. M. Cardew and E. G. Baker. 



Plantago major L., var. minima DC. Malvern Common, Wor- 

 cester, v.-c. 37, August 17, 1914. — Coll. R. P. Towndrow ; comm. 

 S. H. Bickham. " Does not agree at all well with the description in 

 DC. Prodromus, xiii. a., p. 695 : — ' parvula poUicaris, foliis ovatis 

 integris glabris in petiolum brevem attenuatis, pedunculis folia 

 subaequantibus erectis vel ascendentibus, spicis ovatis vel ovato- 

 capitalis." The sepals are rounded-obtuse ; otherwise it is much like 

 the plant sent as var. intermedia on a reduced scale." — E. S. Marshall. 



Illecehrum verticillatum L. Pine Wood near Wellington College, 

 June 6, 1914. — A. Webster. 



Herniaria ciliata Bab. Lizard, W. Cornwall, v.-c. 1, August 20, 

 1914. — Coll. E. Thurston; comm. C. C. Yigurs,
