S. vitellina, Linn. Hinckley, v.c. 55, Leicester, June, 

 1901. — H. P. Reader. When ' gathered the fruit of this 

 willow was apparently in good condition for collecting, but the 

 capsules burst in drying. — -H.P.R. Hardly 5. vitellina, but the 

 usual British form var. cavulea, Sm. — E.F.L. 



S. . Roadside, near Rubery, v.c. 37, Worcester, 



fl. April 27, Ivs. June 16, 1901. — H. S. Thompson. S. annta, 

 L. both male and fern.; but these should not be sent \vithout 

 stating to which plant the foliage belongs. As a rule, foliage 

 must accompany such specimens from the same bush, for the 

 purpose of identification. — E.F.L. 



Ceratuphyllum demevsum. Linn. Pool, Southcoates Lane, 

 Hull, v.c. 61, E. Yorks, June, 1901.— C. Waterfall. Is 

 C. suhmersum, Linn. var. It differs from siihmevsuni as figured 

 by Schuman [fl. Brazil 1. 125] , by the surface of the fruit being 

 smoother and by having marginal short broad-tipped spines. 

 It is a departure in the direction of C. cristatum, Spruce M.S. 

 — C. demersuin h. cristatum K. (Schum. Fl. Brazil, HI., pt. 3, 

 p. 718, t. 125). It differs from C. submersum as described 

 by Syme (Eng. Bot., 3rd Ed., vol. viii., p. 124), in that 

 the fruit is nearly smooth on the two surfaces, and has 

 marginal short spines with a blunt top. It may be that some 

 ot the tubercles fall off in the fruiting, but I fail to see 

 any cicatrices remaining. — A. Bennett. 



Cephalanthera ensifolia, Rich. Wyre Forest, Bewdley, 

 v.c. 37, Worcester, May, 1901.— J. B. Duncan.

Wolffia Michelii, Schleid. Ditch near North Stoke, 

 v.c. 13, West Sussex, September 3, 1901. — C. E. Salmon. 

 New County Record. Trimen first recorded this as a British 

 plant from a Middlesex Station in 1866 ; in his Flora of 

 Middlesex (1869) he mentioned that it had also been seen 

 in E. Kent, Surrey, and S. Essex. Since that date it 

 has not, it appears, been put on record for any other county, 

 no doubt being overlooked. — C.E.S.
