Cardamine amara^ Linn., forma. In disused canal, 

 Rugby, Warwickshire. Growing profusely for ten yards 

 along a di^iused canal, that is sometimes wet marsh, at 

 others, shallow w^ater. The patch was continuous with a 

 smaller quantity of typical C. amara^ but no intermediates 

 were to be found. The apparent sterility of the anthers 

 would point to an hybrid origin, but the habit and structure 

 is entirely that of C. amara^ save for the small petals. — 

 S. T. Dunn. " If this plant is really sterile, which seems 

 probable from the specimens, I think it is C. amara x flex- 

 uosa, for not only are the petals intermediate in size 

 but the anthers are much paler in colour than C. amara^ 

 such a shade in fact as might be expected from a combina- 

 tion between plants with purple and pale yellow anthers 

 respectively. It would be interesting to know the exact 

 colour of the anthers when fresh, and whether the pods were 

 all sterile ; also whether C. flexuosa was noticed." — E. F. 

 Linton. Mr. Dunn writes recently to say that a few plants 

 of C. flexuosa were growing near : also that (from 

 memory) the anthers Avere of a livid colour and looked as if 

 they were sterile and the fruit was enlarged after flowering, 

 but whether truly fertile was not ascertained.
