A. hastata, Linn. A. deltoidea, Bab., is a sub-species of this 

 with thickened contiguous spikes — A. Bennett. 



Polygonum ■ . Sandy ground, Bridgwater, Somerset. — 



H. S. Thompson. P. aviculare, var., arenastrum (Bor.). — A. 

 Bennett. 



P. aviculare, var. rurivagum. Renishaw, near Chesterfield. — 

 C. Waterfall. A^ar. vulgatum, Syme — A. Bennett. 



Urtica holosericea, Fr. Polstead, Suffolk, September, 1889. 

 Approaches U. microphylla, Ham., to some slight extent. — 

 J. D. Gray. 



Salix alba, Linn., var. . Buckden, Hunts., September, 



1 883, and April, 1884. The long scales of the catkins are a 

 noticeable point. — Wm. R. Linton. Or hybrid ? — A. Bennett. 



S. rubra, Huds., var. Forbyana (Sen.). Dovedale, S. Derby- 

 shire, May and June, 1888. — W. R. Linton. Certainly a rubra 

 form, but does not agree with the plant received from Borrer in 

 Leefe's exsiccata. It comes very near a plant gathered by Mr. 

 Linton, "between Kew and Richmond," which is marked by 

 Dr. White rubra f but it is not Forbyana. This plant has 

 the capsules longer than in any form of rubra I have seen — 

 A. Bennett. 



<S. Smithiana, Willd. Shirley, S. Derbyshire, April and July, 

 1888. This plant occurs in several places in the neighbourhood, 

 and appears to be the most usual form which this hybrid takes 

 I should say it is not naturally produced here, as I have seefi 

 only planted viminalis, and that in only one or two places. — 

 Wm. R. Linton. Agrees fairly well with Smithiana, but the 

 catkins are very young for determination. — A. Bennett. 



S. aurita, Linn , gynaiidrous. Shirley, S. Derbyshire, May, 

 1888. This plant varied curiously; a very few catkins were 

 male, most were wizened female ; some imperfect capsules bore 

 stamens at the summit. — Wm. R. Linton. 



Empetrum nigrum, Linn. In flower, Ilkley, Yorkshire. I ven- 

 ture to send these as many of our members may, like myself, 

 rarely have had the opportunity of gathering the plant in flower. 

 — H. T. Mennell. 



Juncus diffusus, Hoppe. Kniveston, S. Derbyshire, August 

 7th, 1889. Specimens of this Kniveston plant were submitted 

 by the Rev. W. H Painter to Mr. J. G. Baker, and referred by 

 him to /. glauGus. I therefore send some in that the correct 

 name may be confirmed.— Wm. R. Linton. 



Naias marina, Linn. Norfolk, September 23rd, 1889. — T. A. 

 and C. Cotton. Beautifully dried specimens in fruit. — F. H. 

 Ward. 



Carex . Penpole Point, Gloucestershire, May, 1889.
