Rumex  limosus,  Thuill.  Weston  Zoyland,  N.  Somerset, 
v.c.  6,  Aug.  23,  1907.— 0.  E.  Salmon. 
R.  acutus,  Linn.  ( R .  pratensis,  E.B.S.).  On  limestone 
rubble,  Failand,  near  Bristol,  N.  Somerset,  v.c.  6,  July  31, 
1907. — J.  W.  White.  Young,  but  no  doubt  R.  crispus  x 
ohtusifolius  (R.  acutus ,  Linn.). — E.S.M.  Yes.  Specimens 
of  Docks  are  more  interesting  when  some  of  the  fruit  is 
ripening. — E.F.L. 
R.  scutatus,  Linn.  Craigmillar  Castle,  Midlothian, 
v.c.  83,  June  6,  1907. — F.  C.  Crawford. 
Quercus  Robur,  Linn.,  var.  intermedia  (D.  Don). 
Stoughton,  Leics.,  v.c.  55,  Sept.,  1907. — A.  R.  Horwood. 
Right,  I  think.  This  “  variety  ”  may  really  be  a  hybrid. 
- — E.S.M.  I  think  correct.  It  is  generally  considered 
Q.  sessiliflora  x  pedunculata. — A.B.J. 
Q.  Robur ,  Linn.,  var.  intermedia  (D.  Don).  Hedgerow, 
Malvern  Link,  Worcs.,  v.c.  37,  Sept.  23,  1907. — S.  H. 
Bickham.  This  is  Q.  sessiliflora ,  characterised  by  the 
cuneate  leaves,  distinctly  peduncled  and  pubescent  on  the 
lower  surface. — A.B.J. 
Q.  Robur ,  Linn.,  var.  sessiliflora  (Salisb.).  Malvern, 
Worcs.,  v.c.  37,  Sept.  23,  1907. — S.  H.  Bickham. 
Populus  nigra,  Linn.  Quorn,  Leics.,  v.c.  55,  Aug.  13, 
1907.  Very  tall  tree,  probably  planted.  The  flowers  were 
over  before  Mr.  Jackson  asked  me  to  send  it  up  again. — 
F.  L.  Foord-Kelcey.  Specimens  from  the  same  tree  were 
sent  to  the  Watson  Club  last  year  under  the  name 
P.  nigra  L.  but  the  Rev.  E.  F.  Linton  called  them 
P.  monilifera  Aiton,  which  surely  they  are  not.  Mrs. 
Foord-Kelcey  showed  me  this  tree  in  a  field  at  Quorn  last 
summer  and  I  found  it  to  be  a  very  fine  typical  example 
of  the  true  Black  Poplar.  This  can  be  distinguished  at 
once  from  P.  monilifera  (Black  Italian  Poplar),  by  its 
rough  burred  trunk,  denser  foliage,  and  the  leaves  having 
a  cuneate  and  not  truncate  base.  I  have  since  seen  a 
photograph  of  the  Quorn  tree  which  shews  well  the 
characteristic  bole.  P.  monilifera ,  another  name  for 
which  is  P.  serotina,  Hartig,  is  very  common  in  this 
country  as  a  planted  tree  and  is  no  doubt  the  Black 
Poplar  of  many  botanists.  (See  W.  B.  E.  C.  Rept.  1906-7,
