The WATSON 



Botanical Exchange Club. 



REPORT FOR 1902-1903. 



The number of plants sent in this year by 25 

 members is 2,137, which is in excess of any recent year's 

 contributions, with the exception of 1900-igoi. Further- 

 more, the Club is indebted to the Rev. E. F. Linton for 

 a parcel of 157 plants, including many Rtibi and Salices, 

 and to Mr. J. E. Bagnall, A.L.S., who has presented 

 a further set of 83 specimens, mainly Rubi. 



Among the more interesting plants contributed are 

 a hybrid Carex {acutif omits, Ehrh. x rostrata, Stokes), 

 which appears to be now noticed for the first time, and 

 the well marked Scirpus maritimiis, L., var. monostachys, 

 Sonder. 



Of the specially critical genera, Rubi and Batrachian 

 Rammctdi are fairly represented, but, as happened last 

 year, Roscb and Hieracia have been neglected. 



The aliens again form a feature of the year's 

 contributions, numbering no less than 297 specimens.
