S. Ltmomum, L., v. pyramidalis, Syme. Wells, Norfolk, Aug., 

 1892. — F. Long. Less characteristic than the Essex specimens 

 C 5. auriculcefoUa, var. intermedia "). The colour of the flowers 

 very intense, and beautifully preserved. Syme says this is the 

 same as S. serotina, Gren. et Godron, Fl. France, but not of 

 Reichenbach, which he refers to the S. Limonium var. macroclada 

 of Poissier ; at present it seems the plant must bear his Eng. 

 Bot. name, 8. Limonium, var. pyramidalis. — A. B. 



S. auriculcefolia, Vahl., a. occidentalism Lloyd. Brancaster, Nor- 

 folk, Aug., 1892. — H. D. Geldart. Probably correct, but barren 

 branches fewer than in the Kentish plant. — A. B. 



S. auriculcefolia, Vahl., a. occidentah's, Lloyd. St. Martin's Pt., 

 Guernsey, Aug., 1892. — M. E. Dawber. Spikes thicker than in 

 last, and barren branches few. — A. B. 



>S^. auriculcefolia, Yahl., v. intermedia, Syme. Fingringhoe, 

 Colchester, Essex, July, 1892. — A. B. Hall. No; S. Limonium, 

 L., var. pyramidalis, Syme. — A. B. 



S. auriculcefolia, Yahl., b. intermedia, Syme. Ballyryan, Go. 

 Clare, Aug., 1892.— P. B. G'Kelly. Nearest this, but spikes 

 not so thick as usual. Bentham in the 1st ed. of his Handbook 

 referred S. auriculcefolia to Yahl's plant, but in the 2nd to the 

 same named plant of his Cat. PI. des Pyrenees (1826), which 

 according to Nyman is 8, lychnidifolia of Giraud, a species of 

 Spain, Portugal, and France. There must be some mistake 

 about our British plant being referred to Yahl's auriculcefolia, 

 notwithstanding the positive declaration of Boissier cited by 

 Hooker, Student's Flora, ed. 3, p. 159. According to Nyman, 

 Yahl's plant is restricted to Italy and the Balearic Isles. At 

 present it cannot be decided what aggregate names the plants put 

 under ^S. hinervosa, G. E. Smith by Syme in Eng. Bot. must 

 bear. — A. B. 



Erytlircea Centaurium, Pers., var. capitata, Koch. Westward 

 Ho., N. Devon, Aug., 1892. — W. H. Painter. A reduced state 

 of this variety.— A. B.
