distinguished,  I  believe.— E.  Drabble.  I  think  that  this 
is  a  variety  of  P.  oxyptera.  In  this  country  blue  flowers 
are  very  unusual;  they  are  normally  white,  tinged  or 
tipped  with  magenta. — E.S.M.  Yes,  this  seems  to  be  the 
coast  form  of  P.  oxyptera  which  bears  the  name  of 
P.  dunensis,  Dum.  in  some  books. — C.E.S. 
P.  oxyptera,  Reichb.  The  Links,  Dornoch,  E.  Suther¬ 
land  v.c.  107,  July  12,  1907.— R.  S.  Standen.  I  should 
call  it  oxyptera,  from  its  capsule,  secund  close  spike,  shape 
of  leaves,  etc.  C.E.S.  Though  the  capsule  is  rather 
broader  than  the  fruiting  sepals,  I  consider  this  rather  a 
rorm  of  P.  vulgaris  than  of  P.  oxyptera ;  the  wThole  habit 
is  in  favour  of  that  view.— E.S.M. 
Cerastium  arvense,  Linn.,  var.  Andrewsii,  Syme. 
Ong.  Hunstanton,  1904.  Cult,  at  Blaby,  July  26,  1907.— 
y  *  A.  Vice.  This  is  decidedly  hairy,  and  is  not  var. 
Andrewsii.  I  cannot  separate  it  from  C.  arvense ,  Linn., 
type.  E.S.M.  I  do  not  know  this  plant. — A.L.  I  should 
say  not  Andrewsii,  which  is  much  more  glabrous  on  the 
leaf,  etc.  C.E.S.  Var.  Andrewsii,  Syme,  is  something 
^an . a  g^akrescent  form  of  C.  arvensis,  which  is 
all  that  this  is.  That  variety  has  rather  a  strict  habit, 
with  rigid  leaves  having  a  prominent  midrib,  besides  being 
i§^a^r°US‘  .  "^1*s  which  I  have  seen  in  other  parts 
°  with  the  type,  has  only  the  last  character. —

Stellaria  umbrosa,  Opiz.  Edge  Park,  Cheshire,  v.c. 
58,  Aug.  13,  1907.  This  is  not  asked  for,  and  I  would  not 
have  sent  it  if  I  had  not  believed  that  some  members  do 
not  know  it.-- -A.  H.  Wolley-Dod.  Very  characteristic. 
P  aced  under  S.  neglecta,  Weihe,  an  earlier  name. —

Arenaria  balearica,  Linn.  Covering  an  old  wall 
between  a  field  and  the  Vicarage  grounds  at  Wooler, 
Northumberland,  v.c.  67,  Aug.  1907.— Coll.  Miss  Hayward. 
omm.  E.  S.  Gregory.  This  plant  is  gradually  making  its 
way  into  our  flora  and  some  members  of  the  Club  may 
like  to  add  a  naturalised  specimen  to  their  collections. 
1  he  memory  of  the  oldest  inhabitant?  of  Wooler  does  not 
go  back  to  the  time  when  the  old  wall,  skirting  the 
Vicarage  premises,  was  not  gay  with  the  starry  blossoms,
