Ill 
think  a  starved  form  and  not  the  variety.  Either  poor 
soil,  or  rabbits,  or  both,  may  have  produced  a  stunted 
plant. — E.F.L.  This  does  not  agree  with  the  description 
inDC.  Piodomus,  he.  So  far  from  being  £< glabriusculum,” 
it  has  the  stems  and  foliage  densely  villous  ;  and  the  heads 
tend  rather  to  be  subglobose  than  corymbose.  The  var. 
humile  is  stated  to  be  a  plant  of  S.  Europe  (Alpes 
Maritimes,  etc.) ;  so  one  would  not  expect  it  to  occur  in 
Kent.  I  have  never  seen  anything  like  these  specimens 
before  ;  most  interesting. — E.S.M.

Chenopodium  album,  L.  (1)  var.  incanum,  Moq.  (2)

New  Humberstone,  Leics.,  v.c.  55,  Aug.  16,  1906.  The 
plants  sent  appear  to  be  as  typical  of  Syme’s  variety  as 
any  seen,  but  growing  with  these  were  other  varieties  and 
forms  of  intermediate  character,  of  which  some  specimens 
are  sent  for  comparison.  The  var.  paganum  also  grew  in 
the  same  station,  and  C.  fici folium.  Altogether  thousands 
of  plants  might  have  been  counted,  many  merging  from 
one  variety  into  another.— A.  R.  Horwood.  I  think  these 
three  specimens  are  rightly  distinguished.— E.F.L.  Being 
only  varieties  of  one  species  they  would  notably  merge 
into  each  other.  I  believe  this  can  be  seen  wherever  the 
species  grows  on  rubbish,  uncultivated  ground,  etc.,  but  in 
cultivated  ground  the  var.  incanum  prevails  mostly. — A.B.
