Poly gala serpyllacea^ Weihe. Kimbolton, Salop, July, 1894. — 

 W. H. Painter. A very diffuse form of this, in some of the 

 leaves much like eu-vulgaris, but the habit and inflorescence is 

 serpyllacea. — A. B. 



P. amara, Jacq., var. auslriaca, Crantz. Cronkley Fell, Tees- 

 dale, Yorks., Aug., 1894.. — A. B. Hall. var. alpina^ Reichb. fil. 

 — W. R. L. 



Cerastium arvense, L., var. Andrewsii, Syme. Burren, Co. 

 Clare, June, 1895, legit P. B. O'Kelly. Vide remarks in Report, 

 1894-5. Specimens now sent are certainly less hairy than those 

 contributed last year. — H. C. Levinge. Not Syme's variety 

 which is usually one-flowered, with leaves narrow and the 

 midrib taking up more of the under-surface than in these 

 specimens. Of the nine varieties of C. arvense figured by 

 Messrs. HoUick and Britten in the Bulletin of the Torrey 

 Botanical Club, March, 1887, Mr. Levinge's specimens approach 

 nearest to v. angustifolium, Fenzl, though not that variety, his 

 specimens having the leaves more crowded, and recurved; 

 though this seems to prevail in most with the lower leaves ; the 

 coloured plate of v. oblongi folium^ Holl. and Britton, shows this 

 very conspicuously at the base. I have gathered near Croydon 

 specimens of arvense very near Dr. Syme's plant. Mr. Levinge's 

 plant may be worthy of a name, but it requires to be compared 

 with specimens from the area of distribution of the species. — A.B. 



Elatine Hydropiper^ L., Lough Bricklan, Co. Down, July, 

 1895. — H. W. Lett. Mixed with E. hexandra\ two of the small 

 sheets sent are Hydropiper, the other hexandra^ with the 

 penduncles unusually long. — A. B. 



Hypericum angltcum, Bertol. Thorp-le-Soken, Essex, Aug. 

 2nd, 1895. — R. S. Standen. It would be better to discard 

 Bertolinius' name, which has given rise to much discussion, and 

 use H. elatum, Ait. Nyman considers this plant only a sub-
