The  fruits  on  these  August  specimens  look  like  the  ordinary 
oblique  or  unequal-sided  fruits  of  T.  collinum ,  but  the 
shape  of  the  ripe  fruit  is  the  criterion,  and  these  should 
be  collected  in  late  Sept,  or  Oct. — E.F.L. 
Adonis  annua  L.  Telscombe,  E.  Sussex,  v.c.  14  Julv 
10,  1899. — A.  G.  Gregor. 
Ranunculus  fluitans  Lam.,  var.  cambricus  (Ar.  Benn.). 
Llyn  Coron,  Anglesey,  v.c.  52,  July,  1892. — Coll.  J.  E. 
Griffith,  comm.  A.  Bennett,  and  C.  E.  Salmon. 
R.  acris  L.,  var.  — - ?  (ref.  No.  8351).  Meadows, 
Kilgwrrwg,  about  7  miles  from  Chepstow,  Monmouthsh., 
v.c.  35,  May  29,  1908.  Pointed  out  to  me  by  Mr.  W.  A.’ 
Shoolbred.  Root  premorse.  Apparently  near  R.  Borceanu  's 
(Jord.)  and  R.  tomophyllus  (Jord.).— E.  S.  Marshall  Tsee 
Rept.  B.E.C.,  1908,  p.  357] . 
Eranthis  hyemalis  Salisb.  Bishopthorpe,  near  York 
v.c.  64,  March,  1888.— H.  T.  Mennell. 
Berberis  Aquifolium  x  vulgaris  (ref.  No.  3171).  Hedge 
near  Bossington,  S.  Somerset,  v.c.  5,  June  9,  1908. — E  S 
Marshall  [see  Jl.  Bot.,  1907,  p.  393] .  This  is  a  Berberis 
not  uncommon  in  the  Kumaon - Chamba  Himalaya  at  about 
6,000 — 9,000  ft.  alt.,  and  referred  by  C.  K.  Schneider  (see 
determ,  tickets  in  Herb.  Kew)  to  B.  aristata  DC.,  sensu 
stricto.  It  is  not  uncommon  in  cultivation.— A.  B.  Jackson 
and  J.  R.  Drummond.  I  am  glad  that  this  has  been  iden¬ 
tified  at  Kew  by  Mr.  W.  J.  Bean  as  a  species,  B.  aristata 
DC.,  [see  Mr.  Marshall’s  note,  Jl.  Bot.,  1909,  p.  74],  for  it 
has  all  along  seemed  to  me  impossible  that  two  species 
which  have  a  sessile  stigma,  as  both  the  supposed  parents 
have,  should  produce  an  offspring  with  a  distinct  style; 
this  was  to  me  fatal  to  the  supposed  origin. — E.F.L. 
Also  sent  by  Mr.  Bickham  from  the  same  locality. 
Fumaria  Boroei  Jord.,  var.  muraliformis  Clavaud  ? 
Old  wall  in  an  orchard,  Fowey,  W.  Cornwall,  v.c.  1,  June 
9,  1908.  Coll.  Mrs.  Graham.  Rather  poor  specimens,  I 
am  afraid,  for  purposes  of  identification,  but  they  seem'to 
have  the  long  bracts  which  Mr.  Pugsley  states  are 
characteristic  of  this  variety. — R.  S.  Standen.  A  slender, 
small-flowered  form  of  F.  Borcei  Jord.,  somewhat  inter¬ 
mediate  between  the  varieties  serotina  and  muraliformis 
but  hardly  referable  to  either.— H.W.P.
