has not previously been recorded for South Lincoln, but is this 

 a satisfactory record ? A single specimen was sent, with no 

 date of gathering on the label, and no indication of the nature 

 of the ground it was found in. Probably it is a mere casual. —

5. dichotoma, Ehrh. Waste ground, West Dock Reserva- 

 tion, Hull, v.c. 61, E. Yorks., June, 1901.— C. W^aterfall. 



Lychnis Viscavia, Linn. Blackford Hill, v.c. 83, Edinburgh, 

 May 28, 1900.— F. C. Crawford. 



Cevastmm pnmilum, Curt. (Ref. No. 2557). Oxen Down, 

 between East Dean and Upwaltham, v.c. 13, W. Sussex, 

 May 8, 1901.— E. S. Marshall. I think correct, but it is not 

 developed enough to be absolutely certain. New County 

 record ? — A. Bennett. 



Stellavia media, Cyr. var. Bovcrana (Jord.). (1) Shoeburyness, 

 v.c. 18, S. Essex, May 13, 1901.— A. H. Wolley-Dod. (2) 

 Coast, Portslade, v.c. 13, \N . Sussex, April and May, 1901. — 

 T. Hilton. This does not appear to be, as I formerly supposed, 

 a variety of dry exposed places, as I found it growing luxuriantly 

 in the most shady places, and under bushes. It is peculiar 

 in its pale colour, great brittleness and elongated habit, the 

 latter character being maintained even in the most exposed 

 spots. It appears to be a good species. Mr. Hilton sends two 

 forms (on three out of four sheets supplied) one with the 

 elongated habit of my Shoeburyness plant, but more glabrous, 

 the other with the tufted habit of type media, but peculiar in its 

 very long petioles, even those of the upper leaves being some- 

 times twice as long as their laminae. Mr. A. Bennett has 

 some doubt as to the propriety of including this form under the 

 name Bovaana. — A.H.W.-D. 



S. nmhvosa, Opiz. Hedgebank near Burstwick, v.c. 61, 

 E. Yorks., May, 1901.— C. Waterfall. Correct. Mr. Bennett 

 writes in reply to a question, "Dr. Ascherson says that 

 5. umhrosa, Opiz^S. neglecta, Weihe. = S. media, var. major, 

 Koch., and although Syme seemed to see a distinction, still I 

 think they are only forms of each other." I certainly think 

 Mr. W^aterfall's plant, with acutely tuberculate seeds is different 

 from the large form of media with bluntly rugose seeds, though 

 what names they should respectively bear I cannot say.— 

 A.H.W.-D. 



5. umhrosa, Opiz. Hawkesyard, v.c. 39, Staffs., July, 1901. 

 — H. P. Reader. No. S. media I believe, with more acute, 

 longer stalked leaves than usual. — A.H.W^-D. S. media only, 

 I consider. — A. Bennett.
