new for Scotland, I think. For years a specimen from Sandwich flats, 

 E. Kent, collected by Mr G. Dowker, perplexed me ; it is a small form 

 of this species." — E, S. Marshall. 



Salicornia prostrata Pallas, var. Smithimia Moss and Salisbury. 

 Mud flats, Montrose Basin, v.-c. 90, September 20, 1914. — R. & M. 

 CoRSTORPHiNE. "I think so." — E. S. Marshall. 



Polygonum lapathifolium L., var. Cornfield, Wigginton Heath, 

 Oxon, July 29, 1914. Glands on perianth few, but the nut is that of 

 this species. The variety deserves a name if a name is ever to be 

 given for hairy leaves. Flowers darker than usual. — H. J. Riddels- 

 dell. " Too slender, I believe, for any lapathifolium form ; it may be 

 P. nodosum Pers., forma salicifolium Moss (P. incajium Willd.), 

 though the stems are unspotted, and not swollen at the nodes ; or else 

 a hybrid of that with P. Persicaria, to which it bears much resem- 

 blance. The peduncle-glands are numerous, though shortly stalked." 

 — E. S. Marshall. " Under leaves with whitish down approaching 

 var. iiicanum.^' — G. C. Druce. 



Polygonum sp. In an elevated sandy cornfield, c. 650 feet, on 

 Wigginton Heath, Oxon, August 17, 1914. Characterised by the 

 remarkably narrow acute leaves and silvery ocrese. — H. J. Riddels- 

 dell. "P. heterophyllum Lindm., sensu lato — probably a form of 

 P. rurivagum Jord." — G. C. Druce. 



Polygonum 1 Waste, stony ground, courtyard of Imperial 



Institute, September 19, 1914. — A. B. Jackson. 



Polygonum aviculare L., var. rurivagum Jord. Weed in field. 

 Grey Abbey, County Down, September 27, 1914. — C. H. Waddell. 

 "P. heterophyllum Lindm. forma', not, I think, rurivagum Jord." — 

 G. C, Druce. 



Rumex salicifolius Wien. Walton, S. Lanes, August 20, 1914. — 

 J. A. Wheldon. 



Ulmus scabra Mill. Millwood, Dalton, v.-c. 69 b, September 4, 

 1914. Two year old plants. — D. Lumb. 



Ulmus striata Lindley. The Cornish Elm. Penpoll Quarry, Cran- 

 tock, Newquay, W. Cornwall, March 15, 1914. These flowering speci- 

 mens from the same tree from which foliage was distributed in 1911 may 

 be acceptable. This tree fell into a horizontal position some years ago, 

 so that one can get at the top branches fairly easily. I hope to get 

 fruit from it some year. The Cornish Elm does not fruit as freely as 

 the Dutch, and even when it does the fruit is not easy to get, unless 

 one is a very expert tree climber. I should be inclined to object to
