properly  know  aquatica ,  but  should  have  thought  this 
Leefe’s  oleifolia. — E.S.M. 
8.  Caprea  x  Lapponum.  Lochy  Burn  (1,800  feet), 
Glen  Shee,  E.  Perthsh.,  v.c.  89,  July  18,  1906. — E.  S. 
Marshall.  8.  Caprea  x  Lapponum  without  doubt,  and 
looks  like  Mr.  Marshall’s  original  bush. — E.F.L. 
8. - ?  Holt  Lowes,  E.Norfolk,  v.c.  27,  June  7, 
1906. —  C.  B.  Headly.  8.  repens ,  L. — E.F.L.  and  E.S.M. 
8.  repens ,  L.,  var. - ?  Long  Drive,  Bardon 
Hill,  Leics.,  v.c.  55,  June  2,  1906.  The  vars.  fusca,  L.,  and 
ascendens,  Sm.,  and  the  hybrid  incubacea,  L.  (  =  ambigua 
Ehrh.),  have  been  recorded  from  this  station  ;  this  does 
not  quite  agree  with  any  of  these  forms.— W.  Bell.  One 
of  the  numerous  forms  of  8.  repens ,  L. — W.R.L.  So  far  as 
I  can  tell  from  the  specimens  it  agrees  with  the  var. 
parvifolia;  but  summer  foliage  is  essential  for  determining 
a  mere  leaf  var.  like  this. — E.F.L. 
8.  viminalis  x  Caprea  (8.  Smithiana,  Willd.).  S. 
Croxton,  Leics.,  v.c.  55,  catkins  May  12,  1906,  leaves 
July,  1906. — A.  R.  Horwood  and  Miss  O.  M.  Horwood. 
Yes,  viminalis  x  Caprea  or  cinerea. — A.  Ley.  I  agree. —

Populus  nigra ,  L.  Quorn,  Leics.,  v.c.  55,  April  18 
and  July  16,  1906. — F.  L.  Foord-Kelcey.  P.  Canadensis 
(Desf.  Cat.  hort.  Par.)  is  the  name  given  in  De  Candolle’s 
Prodromus,  XVI.  (2)  p.  329  for  this  Poplar,  with  P. 
monilifera  Ait.  as  one  of  several  synonyms.  Spreading 
branches  help  to  distinguish  this  species  from  P.  nigra  L. ; 
and  in  male  specimens  the  number  of  stamens,  which  are 
given  as  20 — 30  in  P.  Canadensis  and  usually  6 — 8  in 
P.  nigra.  Much  of  the  “Black  Poplar”  in  this  country 
is  this  American  species. — E.F.L. 
Leucojum  cestivum,  L.  Meadow  near  Reading,  Berks., 
v.c.  22,  May  22,  1906. — Coll.  Miss  Olive  Ellis.  Comm.  F.  L. 
Foord-Kelcey.  The  specimens  mostly  want  leaves — a 
good  set  of  the  plant  would  be  welcome. — S.H.B. 
Allium  Scorodoprasum,  L.  Bambarroch,  Wigtownsh., 
v.c.  74,  Aug.  1904. — Coll.  Miss  E.  K.  Higgins.  Comm. 
D.  M.  Higgins.  Correct. — E.S.M.
