E-  — - - X  - .  Weed  in  garden,  Blaby,  Leics., 
y.c.  55,  July,  1904. — W.  A.  Vice.  This  has  slender  shrunken 
capsules,  but  it  is  merely  small  starved  E.  obscurum. —

E.  obscurum  x  roseum.  Timber  yard,  Malvern  Link, 
Worcs.,  v.c.  37,  July  31,  1905.— S.  H.  Bickham  and  R.  F. 
Towndrow.  Correct.  There  was,  however,  some  admixture 
of  E.  parviflorum  x  roseum  in  this  gathering. 
E.  alsinefolium  x  obscurum.  By  the  Conglass  Water 
(1,000 — 1,100  ft.)  near  Tomintoul,  Banff,  v.c.  94,  July  25, 
1905,  with  the  parents.  Several  fine  plants  were  found. 
So  far  as  I  know,  this  hybrid  had  only  once  before  been 
obtained  in  Britain.  A  good  intermediate. — E.  S.  Marshall. 
Astrantia  major ,  L.  Sort.  cult.  Clifton,  June  30, 
1905.  J.  W.  White.  It  would  make  the  plants  more 
interesting  if  cultivated  specimens  had  upon  their  labels 
their  original  habitats. — C.E.S. 
Pimpinella  Saxifraga,  L.,  var.  dissecta,  With.  Leices¬ 
ter,  v.c.  55,  Aug.  1905.— A.  R.  Horwood.  Right.— E.S.M. 
This  seems  to  me  to  be  a  forma  dissecta  of  var.  nigra 
(Mill)  ;  it  is  so  much  more  pubescent  than  usual.  Var. 
dissecta,  With,  is  a  var.  of  the  more  ordinary  subglabrous 
type. — E.F.L. 
Heracleum  Sphondylium,  L.,  var.  angustifolium,  Huds. 
Avlestone,  Leics.,  v.c.  55,  June,  1905.— A.  R.  Horwood.  It 
might  be  worth  while  collecting  the  fruit  of  these  narrow¬ 
leaved  forms  ;  in  France  they  have  two,  and  the  only  one 
of  which  I  have  gathered  well  formed  fruit  does  not 
coincide  with  either  of  them. — E.F.L. 
Viburnum  Opulus ,  L.  (yellow-fruited  form).  Nar- 
borough,  Leics.,  v.c.  55,  July,  1904.  This  form,  which 
was  first  pointed  out  to  me  by  Mr.  A.  B.  Jackson,  is 
remarkable  in  that  the  berries  never  become  red,  but 
retain  their  yellow  colour  until  they  fall.  The  bushes 
from  which  these  specimens  were  gathered  presented  a 
striking  contrast  to  those  close  by  that  bore  berries  of 
the  normal  red  colour,  these  latter  being  red  practically 
as  soon  as  the  fruit  is  formed.  Beyond  this  characteristic 
there  is  no  essential  difference  between  the  fruit  of  the 
type  plant  and  that  of  the  form,  except,  perhaps,  in  that
