Malva  parviflora  L.  Site  of  an  old  poultry-run  at  the 
corner  of  Devonshire  Road  and  North  Drive,  St.  Anne’s- 
on-the-Sea,  W.  Lancs.,  v.c.  60,  July  20,  1907. — C.  Bailey. 
Not  quite  M.  parviflora  L.,  which  has  larger  flowers  and 
fruits,  with  broad  rounded  shortly-pointed  calyx-lobes 
spreading  out  patently.  Mr.  Bailey’s  plant  seems  to  agree 
exactly  with  the  description  of  M.  microcarpa  Desf.  which 
Rouy  and  Foucaud  (FI.  de  France,  iv.,  pp.  39,  40)  place 
under  M.  parviflora ,  and  say  it  differs  from  that  in  the 
smaller  flowers,  fruits,  and  calyx,  calyx-lobes  not  red¬ 
dening,  not  spreading,  but  more  ascending  and  more 
acuminate,  carpels  more  strongly  ridged.  In  these  speci¬ 
mens  the  calyx-lobes  are  either  ascending  or  pressed  in  on 
the  fruit  and  rather  acuminately  pointed. — E.F.L. 
Geranium,  Robertianum  L.,  var.  purpureum  (Vill.), 
(ref.  No.  3344).  Shingly  beach,  Minehead,  S.  Somerset, 
v.c.  5,  July  1,  1908.  Anthers  orange;  carpels  glabrous; 
calyx  usually  glabrous.— E.  S.  Marshall, 
Oxalis  corniculata  L.  Par,  E.  Cornwall,  v.c.  2,  June 
9,  190o. — Coll.  Mrs.  Graham.  Comm.  R.  S.  Standen. 
Cytisus  scoparius  Link,  var.  prostratus  (Bailey). 
Pleimont,  Guernsey,  June  1894.— Coll.  J.  D.  Gray.  Comm. 
R.  S.  Standen.  Identical  with  the  Lizard  plant.  Not,  in 
my  opinion,  a  good  variety ;  only  a  state,  due  to  exposure.

Medicago  lupulina  L.,  var.  scabra  Gray.  With  the 
typical  form  on  limestone  at  Waterhouses,  Staffs.,  v.c.  39, 
June  22,  1908. — T.  E.  Routh  and  A.  B.  Jackson.  Correct, 
I  believe.  The  description  of  the  habitat  seems  to 
indicate  that  it  is  native  here,  which  is  interesting  (see 
Mr.  Beeby’s  note  in  Jl.  Bot.,  1895,  p.  315).  I  have  been 
unable  to  see  a  full  description  of  Gray’s  var.,  but  I  am 
concluding  it  is  identical  with  Koch’s  Willdenowia?ia,  and 
not  merely  a  diagnosis  of  the  hairy-fruited  state  of 
lupulina. — C.E.S. 
Trifolium,  pratense  L.,  var.  sylvestre  Syme.  Scraptoft, 
Leics.,  v.c.  55,  June  22,  1905.  The  luxuriant  and  robust 
cultivated  form  of  the  red  clover  ( sativum  Schreb.)  is  very 
distinct  from  the  ordinary  meadow  variety,  and  their 
habitat  is  different.  The  form  sent  is  unusually  hirsute,
