m  such  places  “always  an  exceedingly  weak  state.”  On 
one  plant  gathered  this  year,  however,  in  an  open  spot, 
iJr.  Sogers  reports  as  follows  : — “  R.  plint  ho  stylus,  Genev. 
i.  petahs  albis .  Except  for  its  white  petals  (“d’un  rose 
pa  e,  in  Genevier)  this  agrees  with  G’s  description  and 
with  our  Dorset  plant  better  than  any  other  Cornish  plant 
that  1  have  seen.”— F.  H.  Davey.  An  exceedingly  weak 
and  (so  far)  uncharacteristic  form,  but  connected— through 
a  series  of  Cornish  plants  (Ponsanooth  and  Gwennap,  W. 
Cornwall;  Ennisworgy  and  Minster,  E.  Cornwall)— with 
the  more  typical  Dorset  (Foxholes  Wood)  plant.  From 
Ponsanooth  itself  Mr.  Davey  has  sent  me  examples  of  this 
species  which  are  far  more  typical  than  these  very  weak 
woodland  sheets. — W.M.R.

which  is  much  more  strongly  armed  and  less  hairy  and  has

however  I  still  have  only  a  hazy  idea. — W.M.R.
