Polygala oxypteva, Reichb. Downs, Hodshrove, E. Sussex, 

 May and June, 1900.— T. Hilton. Yes, oxyptem.—E. S. & C. E. S. 



P. austriaca, Crantz. Near Hastingleigh, E. Kent, plentiful, 

 June 17, 1900.— C. E. Salmon. 



Saponavia Vaccavia, L. (1) Waste ground, V\'est Dock 

 Reservation, Hull, E.Yorks,v.c. 61, July, 1900.— C. Waterfall. 

 (2) Rubbish heap, Brighton, E. Sussex, July, 1900.— T. Hilton. 

 Correct. An almost invariable component of corn alien 

 colonies in consequence of its frequency as a cornfield weed in 

 the corn growing districts of S. E. Europe. — S. T. Dunn. 



Silene conica, L. Near Parkstone, Dorset, June 14, 1900. — 

 This plant hitherto queried as an alien for the county, appears 

 to me on investigation to be thoroughly native ; for though the 

 area in which I saw the plant is very restricted, it is a perfectly 

 natural one, and the Rev. W. Moyle Rogers tells me that it 

 is nearer two miles than one distant from that reported by 

 Mr. Hussey, in i886. — E. F. Linton. 



S. cornea, L. Kingsley, Hants, N., May 30, 1900. Coil- 

 Miss S. Smyth.— H. D. Geldart. Miss Smyth furnished the 

 additional information that the specimens grew in a cultivated 

 field, on a sandy soil, of Crimson Clover, with such plants as 

 S. Ciicubcihis, Lycopsis, Papaver argemone and P. dnhiiim. Specu- 

 laria, S=c. S. conica has not been previously recorded for 

 N. Hants, and if it is not merely an alien here,, is an interest- 

 ing addition. We have seen it in sandy cultivated fields in 

 Norfolk, where it is considered a native. — E. S. & C. E. S. 



5. nutans, Linn. Downs, Bevendean, E. Sussex, July, 1900. 

 — T. Hilton. I should put this to 5. ttalica (the Dartford 

 plant, but less luxuriant.) — E. S. Marshall. See also Sup- 

 plement in Watson B. E. C. Report, 1899—1900. 



S. nutans, L. Limestone rocks, Bryn Euryn, Colwyn Bay, 

 Denbighshire, v.c. 50, July, 1900. — C. Waterfall. I consider 

 this to be true nutans and not 5. italica. — E. S. M. 



Cevastium pumilum, Curt. In rupibus S. Vincentii prope 

 Bristolium habitat, April 20, 1894.— J. W. White. 



C. glomeratum,T\\\ji\\\.Y3iX.apetalmn,T)\im. Keston Common, 

 W. Kent, June 9, 1900.— A. H. Wolley Dod. A mixture; 

 members will find that the larger plants have petals to the 

 flowers, and do not belong to the variety. — E. S. & C. E. S. 



C. arvense, approaching Andvcwsii. Grassy knoll at Forge 

 Valley, Yorks., June 5th, 1900. Sub-glabrous rigid leaves, 

 with strong midrib. — H. S. Thompson. A state merely, not 

 Andrewsh, leaves not sufficiently glabrous, &c. A plant col-
