Filago germanica, L., var. axillaris, mihi. [Ref. 'No. 5008.] See 

 Report 1912, p. 164. Near Stow Wood, Oxford, Aug. 1912. Bre-

Inula, crithmoides, L. Salt marshes, Keyhaven, S. Hants, July 26, 

 1912. Although long known as an inhabitant of the pebbly strand at 

 Hurst Castle, on the Solent, this plant for the first time appeared to 

 have extended its limits, and I found it this summer in two places, 

 distant about three-quarters of a mile from each other, ( a) near the 

 Coastguards' House, Keyhaven, and (b) on shingle-banks near the 

 Sturt Point, Milford-on Sea. — J. C. Melvill.
