falcate,  measuring  5  mms,,  exactly  the  length  of  anther, 
with  its  special  scale.  Capsule  roundish,  slightly  angled. 
Prof.  Murbeck  writes  of  this  plant,  Dec.  14,  1905  : — 
“  V.  canina,  L.,  forme  qui  se  rapproche  un  peu  de  la 
variete  crassifolia  Gronvall.” — E.S.G.  I  cannot  see  any 
close  approach  to  V.  ericetorum,  Schrader,  (F.  canina , 
auct.  mult.)  in  habit,  inflorescence,  shape,  texture,  or 
veining  of  leaves  ;  nor  can  I  understand  how  it  differs 
from  V.  Riviniana. — E.S.M.

V. - .  Sandy  fields  between  Gomshall  and  Peas-

reports  on  this:'— “It  does  not  appear  to  me  to  correspond 
exactly  with  any  of  the  Continental  named  plants.  It 
belongs  to  the  tricolor  series,  of  course.  Perhaps  the 
nearest  named  plants  are  V.  Lloydii,  Jordan,  and  F. 
variata,  Jordan,  in  Billot  Annot.  FI.  Fr.  et  Allem.  p.  166. 
Specimens  have  been  sent  to  Prof.  Borbas,  but  he  has  not 
yet  reported  upon  them.” — C.  E.  Salmon.

towards  Roecliffe,  Leics.,  v.c.  55,  Aug.  1905. — W.  Bell. 
P.  serpyllacea,  Weihe,  I  think.  My  specimens  are  too 
young  to  shew  the  fruiting  character.—  E.  S.  M.  The 
Polygala  wants  getting  in  whole  plants  and  in  fruit  for 
determination. — W.R.L.  P.  serpyllacea  Weihe. — E.F.L. 
P.  serpyllacea,  Weihe,  var.  vincoides,  Chodat,  in  litt. 
Carnmarth  and  Wheal  Clifford  Downs,  Gwennap,  W. 
Cornwall,  v.c.  1,  Oct.  31,  1905. 
Through  the  spontaneous  kindness  of  Mr.  Bell,  we 
are  able  this  year  to  make  a  departure  which  will,  I 
believe,  meet  with  the  full  approval  of  every  member  of 
the  Club,.  The  half-plate  photo  which  Mr.  Bell  has 
prepared  from  a  dried  specimen  of  Polygala  serpyllacea, 
Weihe,  var.  vincoides,  Chodat,  is  satisfactory  in  every 
detail,  and  does  full  justice  to  a  well-marked  variety.  A 
note  on  this  addition  to  the  British  Flora  appeared  in  the 
“Journal  of  Botany,”  1906,  p.  84.  The  plant  wTas  found 
by  me  in  September,  1905,  on  the  same  day  when  Ulex
