other  is  a  broad-leaved  form,  this  would  be  the  f.  angustifolia , 
a  mere  leaf  variety.  The  leaves  alone  offer,  by  their  smaller 
and  neater  outline,  a  suggestion  of  the  influence  of  £.  alba  ; 
but  in  the  flowering  branch  the  size  of  the  catkins  and  the 
clothing  of  the  young  leaves  and  catkin  scales,  which  are  far 
more  important  for  this  diagnosis,  contribute  no  corroborative 
evidence.  All  female  specimens  which  I  have — which  are 
more  certainly  recognised  as  the  hybrid  by  their  fruit — show 
some  traces  at  least  of  their  alba  parentage  by  the  pubescence 
of  the  young  leaves.  And  male  specimens  which  have  not 
this  nor  any  other  clear  evidence  of  alba ,  can  only  be 
relegated  to  S.  fragilis  or  its  variety. — E.F.L. 
5.  alba,  L.,  2  vitellina,  L.  Malvern  Link,  Worcestershire, 
v.c  37,  15  May  and  29  Aug.,  1904. — S.  H.  Bickham  and 
R.  F.  Towndrow.  Exactly  the  plant.  Very  nicely  selected 
and  beautifully  dried  specimens. — E.F.L. 
Goodyera  repens,  R.Br.  Under  fir  trees,  near  Bervie, 
Kincardineshire,  v.c.  91,  7  Aug.,  1903. — A.  Somerville. 
Orchis  ustulata,  L.  Ebbesbury  Hill,  Wishford,  S  Wilts., 
v.c.  8,  31  May,  1904. — E.  S.  Marshall.  Some  of  the  members 
may  be  glad  to  have  fine  and  carefully  dried  specimens  of 
this  local  plant  Every  one  was  carefully  cut,  so  as  not  to 
injure  the  tubers. — E.S.M.  That  is  so.  Would  that  every 
member  used  a  knife  when  gathering  the  rarer  orchids  —

O.  incarnata,  L.  Limbury,  near  Luton,  Beds.,  v.c.  30, 
17  June,  1902. — D.  M.  Higgins. 
O.  latifolia,  L.  Flitwick,  Beds.,  v.c.  30,  17  June,  1904. 
— D.  M.  Higgins.  Correct. — note  the  cylindrical  spur  (not 
conical,  as  in  O.  incarnata),  and  the  flat-tipped  foliage.  A 
narrow-leaved  form. — E.S.M.  Rightly  named. — E  F.L. 
Crocus  nudiflonis,  Sm.  Trent  Meadows,  Nottingham,

A.  Schcenoprasum,  L.  (1)  Orig.  limestone,  S.  of  Lough 
Mask,  E.  Mayo,  1895  (native).  Flower  garden,  Keevil, 
Wilts.,  8  June,  1904. — E.  S.  Marshall.  In  the  Irish  station 
I  found  this  (1895-6)  scattered  thinly  over  about  two  miles  of 
rocky  limestone  ground,  remote  from  houses  and  from 
cultivation.  Owing  to  the  great  drought  of  those  two
