REPORT FOR 1912. 



267 



Taraxacum . Sands of Barry Island, v.-c 41, April 18, 1912. 



Pliyllaries vary considerably, from broad to nearly linear, glaucous to 

 green, erect to ± reflexed. Growing with T. oJ/ici7iale, Weber, and 

 perhaps a series of hybrids between that and some other form, which, 

 however, I did not detect. — H J. Riddelsdell. " Fruit brick-red ; 

 T. erythrospermum, Andrz." — E. S. Marshall. 



Taraxacum . Turf of cliff top. Porthkerry, v.-c. 41, April 18, 



1912. Apparently what we have been calling T. udum, Jord., though 

 now, I believe, we are to give it another name. These specimens 

 vary much in cutting of leaf, but not in character of phyllaries. — 

 H. J. Riddelsdell. " Not determinable without fruit ; but it looks 

 like a small form of T. udum, Jord." — E. S. Marshall. " Fruit 

 bright red. T. erythros'permum^ Andrz., I believe." — C. E. Salmon. 



Taraxacum erythrospermum, Andr-z. Shore dunes near North 

 Berwick, v.-c. 82, June 22, 1912. — Mr T. Cowan, jun. "One of my 

 plants had red, the other greyish-brown, achenes, T. laevigatum, DC. 

 It is a new county record for 82. Handel-Mazzetti makes laevigatum, 

 DC, and erythrospermum, Andrz., synonymous. (The British 

 laevigatum is referred to obliquum.y — G. C. Druce. "No; the fruit 

 is greyish brown, not red ; T. laevigatum, DC." — E. S. Marshall. 

 " Fruit looks much too pale for erythrospermum, and I think this must 

 be laevigatum, DC." — C. E. Salmon. 



Lactuca virosa, L. Taplow, Bucks., Aug. 1912. This is the plant 

 with undivided leaves = var. integrifolia, S. F. Gray, Not. Arr. ii., 

 417, 1821, which is based on Lactuca sylvestr is, folio non laciniato, 

 Ray's 8yn. 162, n. 3, 1724. It has proved constant in cultivation 

 here. — G. C. Druce. 



Sonchus oleraceus, L. Seedlings. Askham Ironworks, v.-c. 69, 

 Aug. 19, 1912.— D. LuMB. 



Lobelia urens, L. Near Axminster, v.-c. 3, July 15, 1912. See 

 Journ. Bot., 1912, p. 350. — H. J. Riddelsdell, " Carefully prepared 

 and very acceptable." — J. Cryer. 



Campanula rapunculoides, L. Windymains, Haddingtonshire, 

 v.-c. 82, Aug. 10, 1912.— M'T. Cowan, jun. 



Campanula rapunculoides, L. Alien. Waste ground, originally 

 sand dunes, Waterloo, S. Lanes., v.-c. 59, July 1912. Spreads rapidly 

 by the roots, but as the flowers are always gathered, a few roots were 

 transplanted and flowered in the garden. — J. A. Wheldon. " Yes, 

 it is a new county record for 59, where I saw it in 1911, but probably 

 it is of garden origin." — G. C. Druce.
