REPORT FOR 1912. 



243 



very difficult plant to dry. In plenty with Inula Helenium, Hesperis, 

 and Mimulus in a locality which is first mentioned in Johnson's 

 Gerarde, 446, where the plant is called Persicaria siliquosa. See 

 Journ. Bot. 1895, 117 and 376. Mr Butt tells me the flowers bore no 

 spots ; but this seems no sufficient reason for making a variety. — 



H. J. RiDDELSDELL. 



Impatiens parviflora, DC. Pusey Woods, Berks, June 15, 1912. 

 Literally as Mr G. C. Druce says in his Flora of Berkshire, 1897, 

 'covering acres in Pusey Wood, where it was probably introduced 

 with buckwheat used for pheasants' food.' — F. L. Foord-Kelcey. 

 "Yes."— G. C. Druce. 



Impatiens parviflora, DC. Waste ground. Bank of Aire, altitude 

 200 ft., Aug. 1912. Has been growing here for sixteen years. — 

 J. Cryer. 



Euonymus europoius, L., with cream-coloured fruit. W. Guildford, 

 v.-c. 17, Oct. 1912. Coll. Miss Garden. See Journ. Bot. 377, 1912,

 Comm. S. H. Bickham. 



Acer Pseudo-PlatanuSj L. Seedlings. Millwood, Dalton-in-Furness, 

 v.-c. 69, Sept. 18, 1912.— D. Lumb. 



Ulex europaeus, 1j. Naphill Common, Bucks, Aug. 1912. These 

 seedlings came up in immense quantities among the ashes from the 

 extensive fire of the furze last year. — G. C. Druce. 



Medicago falcata. A casual, which I had not noticed previous- 

 ly at St. Anne's, West Lancashire, v.-c. 60, occurred on the sandhills 

 of Devonshire Road, July 13, 1912, and of which I can only send 

 three examples. — C. Bailey. " Yes." — A. Thellung. 



Medicago sylvestris, Fries. Plant brought from Thetford, Suffolk, 

 v.-c. 26, May 1911.— Miss A. Trower. " Yes."— G. C. Druce. 



1 Medicago media, Persoon, = M. falcato-sativa, Rchb. Estab- 

 lished many years on waste ground near Portishead Station, North 

 Somerset, July- Aug. 1912. I have observed this plant many years 

 and think it may be a hybrid. It flowers profusely, but produces 

 fruit in very small quantity. There is but little evidence of M. sativa, 

 save perhaps in the form of inflorescence. — J. W. White. " In good 

 flower, without fruit ; matches M. falcata very well, with no appear 

 ance of M. sativa, so it can hardly be M. varia, Thomas Martyn = 

 M. sativa, media, Pers. The flowers are pure, bright yellow." — E.
