Statice Lirnoniiun x mriflora. Bosham, Sussex, W., 

 1st Au^., igoi. — E. F. Linton. I notice from the 

 Botanical Exchange Club report for 1901 that Mr. A. 

 Bennett doubts the hybridity of this plant. — H. W. P. 



S. auriciilcefolia, Vahl., var. Occident alis (Lloyd). New- 

 qua)', Cornwall, 4th Sept., 1902. — F. H. Davey. The 

 majority of these specimens Syme would have put under 

 his intermedia, I expect ; but I think that var. is too near 

 occidentalis. — C. E. Salmon. The majority of the speci- 

 mens referred to are the larger leaved plants with short 

 scapes. They appear to me quite distinct from the other 

 form, which is characterised by much longer scapes and 

 narrower, more acute leaves ; but Mr. Salmon finds that 

 the two are connected by a series of intermediates and 

 cannot be satisfactorily separated. — H. W. P. 



Primula acaidis X veris. Barton, Bedfordshire, i8th 

 April, 1902. — Miss D. M. Higgins. One or two of the 

 specimens may be true primroses, but the majority are 

 hybrids between the primrose and cowslip. — A. B. 



P. scotica, Hook. Dunnet Links, Caithness, 17th 

 Aug., 1902. — F. C. Crawford. 



C entimcitlus minimus, L. Shore near Arisaig, Wester- 

 ness, v.c. 97, 20th Aug., 1902. — C. E. Salmon. 



Erythrcea littoralis, Fr. Sandy heaths near the sea, 

 Marazion, Cornwall, v.c. i, 14th July, 1902. — A. Hosking. 

 E. Centaurium, Pers. only. — H. W. P. 



Gentiana baltica, Murbeck? Sandhills by the sea, 

 Ballykinder, Co. Down, Sept., 1900. — Mr. Druce records 

 it from sandhills at Newcastle, Co. Down (a locality not 

 far from Ballykinder) m the " Irish Naturalist," 1899, p. 

 199 — C. H. Waddell. Mr. Waddell's specimens accord 

 fairly well with Murbeck's specimens from near Lund. 

 In the Swedish specimens, however, the radical leaves 

 are perfectly present, and his characters can be easily 

 followed. In most British specimens one has to guess a 

 good deal. — A. B. I do not feel any confidence in sep- 

 arating these plants ; but I certainly think that the two 

 top sheets are campestris, while the bottom one may 

 perhaps be baltica. I think Mr. Salmon knows these 

 plants. — W. H. B. I have shown these specimens to
