Hordeum violaceum Boissier. Selkirk, v.-c. 79, October 1913. 

 Alien, Asia Minor. Det. A. Hackel. In this later gathering of 25th 

 October, the beautiful blue shade is not so apparent as in my August 

 specimens, owing possibly to the want of sunsliine. — I. M. Hayward. 

 " Yes, a beautiful grass, which, through Miss Hayward's generosity, 

 was figured in our last Report.^^ — G. C. Druce. 



Athyrium Filix-fcemina Roth, var. incisum Newm. [Ref. No. 

 4804]. Four Slips Copse, Northants, August 1903.— G. C. Druce. 

 Yes."— F. W. Stansfield. 



Polystichum angular e Presl, 1 var. Braunii Spenner. Hedgebank 

 near Newquay, Cardiganshire, May 14, 1914. — J. W. White. "The 

 more slender of these fronds is typical angulare. The denser one has 

 some resemblance to £rau7iii, but in my opinion is a setose form of 

 angulare going very slightly in the direction of aculeatum. The true 

 Brau7hii of the U.S. America is very easily distinguished in the young 

 growing (spring) state by both surfaces as well as rachis being thickly 

 clothed with fine linear scales which are shed when the frond reaches 

 maturity. I shall be pleased to send Mr White a fresh frond of true 

 Braunii later in the season if he cares for it. I am sceptical of 

 Braunii as a British fern. It seems to me to have affinities with P. 

 setosum, although quite distinct from it." — F. W. Stansfield. "I 

 have never seen this ; but Mr White's plant differs greatly from 

 ordinary P. angulare, which abounds in my parish, and agrees fairly 

 well with the descriptions of Koch and Rouy. Aspidium Braunii 

 Spenner is retained as a full species by Nyman, under the earlier, but 

 preoccupied name A. angulare Kit. ; Rouy makes it a sub-species." — 

 E. S. Marshall. 



Dryopteris cristata A. Gray. Scoulton, Norfolk, August 1904. — 

 G. C. Druce. "Yes."— F. W. Stansfield. 



Lastrea glandulosa Newm. Ankerbury Bog, v.-c. 34, June 2, 

 1913. Stipes usually thickly glandular; fronds glandular beneath 

 but not very thickly. The scales are not as dark as those of dilatata; 

 the fronds may be described as broadly lanceolate : at any rate they 

 are not those of true dilatata. In a very wet piece of wood below a 

 bog on Ankerbury Hill, Lydbrook, W. Glos. Whether this is the 

 place first made famous by Mr Purchas's discoveries or not, I am 

 uncertain ; the houses now come within a hundred yards of it, and 

 the bog has shrunk. A number of circumstances make me doubt 

 whether the name is correct ; and I have never seen an authenticated
