Pulicctria  vulgaris ,  Gaertn.  Norley  Common  near 
Wonersh,  Surrey,  v.c.  17,  Sept.  15,  1907.— C.  E.  Salmon. 
A  most  welcome  set  of  beautiful  specimens. — F.H.D. 
Matricaria  inodor  a ,  Linn.,  ?  var.  salina,  Bab.  Golspie 
shore,  E.  Sutherland,  v.c.  107,  Aug.  24,  1907. _ R.  S. 
Stan  den.  Hardly  looks  fleshy  enough  in  the  leaf  *  for 
salina.  The  phyllaries  are  very  darkly  coloured,  so 
perhaps  this  is  var.  phceocephala ,  Rupr. — C.E.S.  Var. 
phceocephala . — E.F.L.  Not  var.  salina ,  Bab.,  which  has 
short,  rigid,  fleshy  leaf-segments,  and  is  a  more  southern 
plant.  It  is  var.  phceocephala ,  Rupr.,  with  the  involucral 
scales  paler  than  in  the  extreme  form ;  the  habit  is  Quite 
right  for  that. — E.S.M.  4 
M.  inodor  a ,  Linn.,  ?  var.  phceocephala ,  Rupr.  Golspie 
shore,  E.  Sutherland,  v.c.  107,  Aug.  24,  1907. _ R.  S. 
Standen.  Yes,  var.  phceocephala. — E.S.M.  No  fruit  with 
this  sheet.  It  looks  rightly  named.  A  handsome  plant. — 
C.E.S. 
M.  Chamomilla,  Linn.  Waste  ground,  Poulton 
Cheshire,  v.c.  58.  June,  1907.  There  was  no  obvious 
possibility  of  starvation-effect,  and  the  surrounding 
vegetation  was  normally  vigorous.  -E.  and  H.  Drabble. 
The  receptacle  seemed  hollow  (as  far  as  one  could  see)  in 
one  specimen  I  dissected,  so  evidently  these  are  dwarf 
examples  of  the  plant  named.— C.E.S.  Something  in  the  soil 
probably  accounts  for  these  attenuated  plants.  I  have  seen 
Iberis  amara  reduced  to  like  slender  proportions. — E.F.L. 
M.  discoidea,  DC.  Poulton,  Cheshire,  v.c.  58,  Aug., 
1907.  This  alien  is  spreading  rapidly  in  the  Wirral 
Peninsula.— E.  and  H.  Drabble. 
Artemisia  Tournefortiana,  Reichb.  Waste  ground, 
roadside,  Ledbury,  Herefordsb.,  v.c.  86,  Oct.  7,  1907.  I 
have  noticed  this  alien  round  Ledbury  for  years,  and  it 
seems  to  be  spreading. — S.  H.  Bickham. 
Senecio  vulgaris ,  Linn.,  var.  radiatus,  Koch.  Sand¬ 
hills,  Wallasey,  Cheshire,  v.c.  58,  May,  1907.  The  ray 
florets  were  very  well  developed,  but,  owing  to  the  ripening 
of  the  fruits  in  the  drying  specimens,  the  rays  have 
shrivelled.  They  are  quite  evident,  however,  when 
examined  with  a  lens. — E.  and  H.  Drabble.
