using the same mark for their desiderata. Those who do not fall 

 into the more usual method of marking desiderata, are liable 

 to have the very plants allotted to them which they do not 

 want ; so hard is it for the Distributor to attend to individual 

 vagaries, when manipulating 25 to 30 London Catalogues !

EDWARD F. LINTON, Distributor for the year 1887-88. 



Thalictrum flavum, L., var. riparium^ Jord. Mersey, Speke, 

 Lancashire, July 20th, 1887. — A. E. Lomax, Shalford, Surrey, 

 Sept. 24th, 1885. — W. R. Linton. Mr. Lomax's plant is var. 

 sphxrocarpitm only, for certain. Mr. Linton's is the same, I 

 consider ; but Mr. Beeby was inclined to think it might be 

 correctly named. — Arthur Bennett. 



Ranunculus florihundus, Bab. Howley, S.W. Yorks., May, 

 1887. — P. F.Lee, "^oi flonbu7idus iox c&xidXw. It may be pel- 

 tatus, but it is gathered too young to name with certainty, in 

 this difficult sub-genus. — A. Bennett. 



R. acris f. Willesden, Middlesex, May 8th, 1886.— W. R. 

 Linton. I think this is vulgatus^ Jord. — A. Bennett. 



Fumaria muralis, Sonder. Brockenhurst, Hants, August 

 12th, 1887. — J. Vaughan. I believe correct, but it appears to 

 have been starved, or from a very dry place. — A. Bennett. 



F. denstflora, DC. Scarbro', E. Yorks., May, 1887. Coll. 

 W. Robinson ; comm. P. Fox Lee. Is F. parviflora. — A. 

 Bennett. 



Sisymbrium pannonicum, Jacq. (-S*. altissimum, L.). By the 

 railway, Crosby, Lancashire, Sept. 7th, 1886. — A. E. Lomax. 

 Appears to have grown very full and leafy under an English 

 sky. — E. F. Linton.
