Ditto, Clapton, ^Middlesex, September, 1887.— R. Paulson. 

 Var. arc7iastrum. — A. Bennett. 



P. alpesire. Naturalized on Kew Green, Surrey, Sept. 12th, 

 1887.— F. H. Ward. Yes.— A. Bennett. 



Urtica dioica L., var. angustifolia^ A. Blytt. Near Bromborough, 

 Cheshire, Aug. 28th, 1887. — A. E. Lomax. I do not know on 

 what authority Mr. Lomax names this "var. angustifolia, A. Blytt," 

 or whether that is the same as the var. angustifolia of the 8th 

 ed. of Prof. Babington's ^Manual, as he gives no authority, but 

 in the first edition he puts it as of " W. et G." I have not 

 access to the Flora Silesica of these authors, but the plant is not 

 named by Garcke, or Ascherson in their Floras. Blytt described 

 his plant in his Vegetation of the Sogne Ffiord, referring to the 

 b. holosericcea of Hartmann with a doubt ; but Hartmann refers 

 this to Fries' Nov. Fl. Suec. ed. 2. Anyhow jNIr. Lomax's speci- 

 men almost exactly agrees with the var. microphylla^ Hausemann, 

 a specimen of which I have from the late Herr von Uechtritz ; 

 I suppose it to be described in Hausemann's Flora v. Tirol, but I 

 have not access to that here. 



I\Ir. Lomax's' specimen differs only in being more hairy, but 

 it is not so hairy as Blytt describes his plant : i.e. " Greyish (with) 

 shaggy" (hairs). — A. Bennett. 



Satix alba, L., var. Newpool, Malvern Wells, May 1 8th, 1887. 

 The catkins shorter and stouter than those of the type, and the 

 scales much longer, indeed fully as long as those of vitelli?ia, 

 from which, however, it differs considerably, conspicuously in 

 the different hue of the bark and leaves. — R. F. Towndrow. I 

 am unable to name this Salix : material insufficient. — A. Bennett. 



6^. Woolgariana, Borr. Banks of Nith, Sanquhar, Dumfries, 

 June, 1887. — A. Davidson. Yes, agrees very well with the 

 capsules ; but mature leaves ought to be sent. — A. Bennett. 



S. nigricans, Sm. Euchan Head, Sanquhar, Dumfries, June, 



1886. — A. Davidson. Yes. Difficult to put to a variety without 

 leaves. — A. Bennett. 



Spiranthes aestivalis, Rich. Grand Mare, Guernsey, July 27th, 



1887. — M. Dat\*ber. 



Cephalanthera ejisifolia, Rich. Copse, Bentworth, Hants., 

 June i6th, 1887. — Leg. G. B. Whyley ; comm, J. Vaughan. 



Epipactis atro-rubens, Schultz. Base of Cunsv/ick Scar, 

 Westmoreland, August nth, 18S6. — G. E. Martindale. I fail 

 to see at?'o-rubens in this : simply iatifolia.—'K. Bennett. 



Romiilea columncB, Seb. and Maur. L'Ancresse, Guernsey 

 May 3rd, 1886. — M. Dawber. 



Allium triquetrum, L. Catel, Guernsey, June 15th, 1887. —
