REPORT FOR 1912.

3-celled and clavate, etc., and, following Mr Edwards (Journ, Bot.^ 

 1906, p. 368), one would class this as a blue A. arvensis, and not 

 caerulea. As regards the stem character given (I.e.), I have certainly 

 found good arvensis with either ascending or erect sterns. — C. E. 

 Salmon. " Unfortunately my specimen consists of only one piece, 

 about fifteen inches long, unbranched, evidently part of a large plant. 

 I cannot think it to be restricted A. arvensis, L., which I have never 

 seen with blue flowers, or with such a habit. The characters, though 

 they do not fully coincide, agree best with the description and remarks 

 on A. latifolia, L., in Williams' Prod. Fl. Brit., part 7, pp. 431-2. 

 Whether this identification is correct or not, I am unable to say ; 

 but Mr Britton's handsome plant is neither typical A. arvensis nor 

 typical A. foemina. Mill." — E. S. Marshall. " Surely this has 

 nothing to do with A. latifolia, L." — G. C. Druce. 



Fraxinus excelsior, L. Semi-pendulous. Aug. 23, 1912, Elwes and 

 Henry in Trees of Great Britain and Ireland, vol. iv., p. 868, mention 

 a form of the weeping ash, called by Loudon the Kincairney Ash 

 which grew in the parish of Caputh, near Dunkeld, Perthshire, and 

 had alternately pendulous and upright branches. I enclose leaves, 2 

 fruits, and two photos of one growing in Bucks, the most marked of 

 several similar trees, occurring occasionally about Long Down Hill 

 and the Icknield Way in the parishes of Risborough and Kimble. Do 

 they resemble the Kincairney Ash ?— F. L. Foord-Kelcey. 



Fraxinus excelsior, L. Seedlings. Orchard, Askham, v.-c. 69, 

 Aug. 28, 1912.— D. LuMB. 



Cicendia pus ilia, Uriseb. Damp ground near Fort Doyle, Guern- 

 sey, July 25, 1912. In considerable numbers over a limited area, a 

 short distance from the spot where it was originally found. Also at 

 the second locality noted by MrMarquand in less quantity. — W. C. 

 Barton. " After a lapse of many years Lady Davy rediscovered this 

 species in 1911, and Mr Marquand tells me it was fairly plentiful in 

 1912 over the very limited area where it grows in Guernsey. Mem- 

 bers will be glad of this rarity." — G. C. Druce. 



Cynoglossum 7no7itanum, L. Mickleham, Surrey, May 30, 1912. 

 The leaves become extremely thin and papery in the press, and I 

 regret that several of them have become broken. — C. E. Salmon. 



Symphytum peregrimim, Ledeb. [Ref. No. 6712.] Damp hedge, 

 about four miles from Matlock, on the way to Ashborne Derby, 

 in great quantity, June 1912. — G. C. Druce. " Right."— C. 

 Bucknall.
