P. arefiastrujn, Bor. Cultivated land, The Hague, Renishaw, 

 near Chesterfield, Oct., 1888.— C. Waterfall. 



P. inaritimum, L. Near Penzance, Cornwall, July, 1888. — 

 H. S. Thompson. P. Raii. — A. Bennett. 



P. ?)iaculahim, Dyer and Trimen. Malvern Wells, Worcester, 

 Ang. 8th, 1888. — R. F. Towndrow. To me a connecting link 

 between this and lapathifolium, — the perianth is not sufficiently 

 glandular, and the fruit is too long for mactdatum ; on the other 

 hand, the ochroeei are ciliated, and the stem and peduncles 

 glandular. — A. Bennett. 



Daphne Mezereum, L. Hampshire. It is undoubtedly wild in 

 this neighbourhood, and in fair abundance. I know four or five 

 woods in which it grows. I have searched for it in vain on 

 Selborne Hanger, where it used to grow in Gilbert White's time. 

 Selborne is five miles from here. — J. Vaughan, Alton, Hants. 



Mercurialis perenm's, L. Hedge, Avenham, near Preston, 

 Lanes. Note length of decumbent stem and time of flowering. 

 Gathered in flower in Oct., and Nov., 1886, 1887 and 1888. — 

 F. C. King. 



Salix speciosa, Host } fi. prope St. Neots, Beds. — E. F. 

 Linton. -5". speciosa, Host (=>S. alopecuroides, Tausch) is a 

 hybrid between B.fj'agilis and 6". iriandra, but in Mr. Linton's 

 specimens I can see nothing but S. iriandra. Mr Linton found, 

 however, in 1883, in the same locality (though "Hunts." and 

 not " Beds." is given as the county), a willow, specimens of 

 which in some herbaria have been doubtfully referred to the 

 male of S. undidata. These specimens have summer catkins — 

 a phenomenon often seen in S. iria?id?'a — and in many ways 

 resemble >S. undulata, of which the male is unknown. Except 

 in the abnormal flowering and smaller catkins they have also 

 much resemblance to Wimmer's examples of S. speciosa, to which 

 species I am still inclined to refer them. The 1888 specimens 

 have certainly been taken from a different bush. — F. Buchanan 

 White. 



Salices fragilis and viridis. Malvern Link, etc., Worcester- 

 shire. I refer members to the excellent paper in the Journal of 

 Botany for July last, by Dr. F. Buchanan White, to whom I am 

 indebted for the identification of the specimens sent. All 

 specimens previously sent out by me as Russelliana should be
