The small-flowered Malvas of N. Europe have been much 

 confused. Linnaeus (Fl. Suec. [1755] , 243) under M. rotundi- 

 foUa writes, " Apud nos flores communiter minores, corolla 

 omnino alba ; Stockholmiae autem corolla majore purpur- 

 ascente obvia planta, isti apud exteros." It thus appears that 

 he included M. neglecta, Wallr., with its petals two or three 

 times as long as the calyx and purple, and also M. borealis, 

 \\'allm., with petals pale and about equal to the calyx. Most 

 English botanists mean by M. rotundifolia Linnaeus' species 

 after M. borealis, Wallm. (M. pusilla, Sm.) has been removed. 

 But in Koch's Synopsis, ed. HL, L, 418, and elsewhere, 

 M. neglecta, Wallr., is kept up while M. rotundifolia, L., refers 

 only to smaller-flowered plants (M. borealis, W^allm.) M. parvi- 

 flova, L., is readily separable by its enlarged fruiting calyx, 

 and M. niccBensis, by its broad outer calyx segments. All the 

 plants submitted to me are M. borealis, Wallm. — S. T. Dunn. 



Geranium rotundifolium, L. Garden weed, Bromley, Kent. 

 June, 1900. Two plants appeared in my garden 3 years ago, 

 and it is now abundant there. Five or six years ago it was 

 found in a garden at Bickley, about \\ miles from me. I can 

 give no explanation of its appearance hereabouts ; no one in 

 the district has a botanical garden. — D. T. Playfair.
