1900. Foetid and viscidly hirsute.— C. Waterfall. (1) and (2). 

 These plants seem to us to belong to spinosa. Mr. Waterfall, 

 however, says that his plants are "foetid." Hooker says 

 spinosa is not foetid. (3) Correctly named. — E.S. and C.E.S. 



Melilotus arvensis, Wallr. Border of cornfield, Aylestone, 

 Leicester, v.c. 55, Aug., 1900. I found this species in the 

 county (for which it was previously unrecorded) in 1898, in 

 a locality about six miles from the one where the present 

 specimens vv^ere obtained. These were on the border of a field 

 of lucerne, with which it may have been introduced. Rev. 

 E. S. Marshall confirmed my naming. — W. Bell. Correctly 

 named. — S. T. Dunn. 



Trifolium elegans (Savi). Hawkesyard, Staffs., July, 1900. 

 — H. P. Reader. This is correctly named, having the solid 

 stems, short flowers (only twice as long as the calyx) and 

 lanceolate stipules to the lower floral leaves which are charac- 

 teristic of this species. — S.T.D. 



T. hybridum, Linn. var. Waste ground, West Dock 

 Reservation, Huh, E. Yorks.v.c. 61, Oct., 1900.— C. WaterfaU. 

 Viviparous state merely. — E.S. and C.E.S. 



Tfifoliim Waste ground, West Dock Reservation, 



Hull, E. Yorks, v.c. 61. Alien. Sept. 1900.— C. WaterfaU. 

 Seems only viviparous vepens.—K. S. & C. E. S. 



Anthyllis Vulnevaria, L. var. Allionii, DC. North of 

 Boughton Aluph, near Wye, E. Kent, June 16, 1900. This 

 variety, which was found in Div. 6 of Hanbury and Mar- 

 shall's " Flora of Kent," has stems, petioles and leaves clothed 

 with spreading hairs. The original description in De Candolle's 

 Prod, n., p. 170 (1825), is as follows : — ''flonhus flavis, foliis 

 caidihis capitulisqiceJiirsntissimis.''' His variety hivsutissima has an 

 identical description, except for the words flovihiLS coccineis 

 mbrisve.'' Recorded by Mr. W. H. Beeby (see Rep. Bot. Ex. Club 

 of Brit. Isles for 1887, p. 170) from Stouting, in Div. 7, and this, 

 hitherto, seems to have been the only Kent station.— C. E. 

 Salmon. 



Lotus corniculatiis var. By the sea, sandhills, Ballykinlar, 

 Co. Down, Sept., 1900. — C. H. Waddell. Approaching var. 

 crassifolitis, Pers., but not quite my idea of the plant. — 

 G. C. Druce. 



L. uliginosus, Schkuhr., var. Hedgebank, footpath leading 

 to the moors, near Colwyn Bay, Denbighshire, July, 1900. — 

 C. Waterfall. The hairy and common form of the species. — 

 E. S. & C. E. S.
