buds  tipped  with  hairs.— C.  E.  Salmon.  Yes.— A.L.  ’  Not 
the  same  as  T.  platyphyllos  Scop,  from  other  parts  of 
England,  the  fruits  of  which  are  much  more  strongly 
ribbed,  the  buds  and  bracts  longer,  the  leaves  larger.  It 
is  apparently  the  same  as  a  sheet  of  T.  mutabilis  Host, 
sent  me  by  Dr.  Halacszy  from  Austria ;  of  this  I  have  not 
found  a  description  or  synonym. — E.P.L.

To  me  they  seem  to  be  nothing  but  poor  plants  of

in  my  opinion  var.  apiculata ,  though  not  the  extremes!
