years I tli ought it a variety of R. micans^ Gren. and Godr., 

 going off from that species towards R. leucostachys^ Schleich, 

 a vieu' ill ^vhich Dr. Focke for a time concmTed, though 

 last year ( on seeing Mr. Marshall's Irish plant) his sug- 

 gestion was Xear the French R. leucanthemus^ P. J. 

 Muell." T have not seen authentic specimens of Mueller's 

 type : but our yjlant comes very near indeed to Genevier's 

 description of it, justifying, I think, our provisional 

 adoption of the name." — W. ^I. E,. 



R. . Roadside between Colintraive and Loch 



Eiddon, Argyll (Eef. ^so. 8;, Aug. 16th, 1897.— C. E. 

 Salmon, ''i?. mucronatus^ Blox. The Eev. E. S. Mar- 

 shall has collected the same small, neat-leaved form of this 

 species in several iS. Scotland counties." — W. M. E. 



R, Gelertii, K. Frider. Margery, Eeigate Hill, 

 Surrey (Eef. Nos. G& Glj, Jrdv 18th and 25th, 1897. 

 — C. E. Salmon; fEef. No. 3)," August, 1897.— E. S. 

 Salmon. " See note on this plant in last year's Eeport. 

 The very satisfactory material now supplied, while confirm- 

 atory fas I think) of last year's determination, seems to 

 make it plain that the Eeigate plant can hardly be con- 

 sidered identical with the continental tyjje ; appearing to go 

 off from it towards our glandular forms of R. Lindleianiis. 

 In most of the characters, however, and conspicuously in 

 the leafy laxer panicle narrowing to the rounded top, with 

 ascending branches and closely felted and glandular (as 

 well as hairy ) rachis, pedicels and sepals, the specific con- 

 nection wdth R. Gelertii is apparent enough. — W. M. E. 



R. infestus. Weihe. Eeigate Heath, Surrey (Eef. 

 No. 2;. Aug., 1897. — E. S. Salmon. " Yes, a strong form." 

 — W. M. E. 



R. . Near Inverneil, Cantire (Eef. No. 13), 



Aug. 22nd, 1897. — C. E. Salmon. " I think this must go 

 under my var. anglicanus of R. radula, Weihe, but it has 

 thicker foliage and still less radula-Y\kQ armature than our 

 S. England form, and perhaps goes a step aw^ay from it 

 towards R. Bahingtonii^ Bell-Salt. I have seen the same 

 or a very similar plant growing in the counties of Perth 

 and Dumbarton. New for Cantire." — W. M. E.
