H.  umbellatum  L.,  var. - .  Stony  bank,  Lynton 
Hill,  N.  Devon,  v.c.  4,  Aug.  27,  1908.  On  this  gathering 
Mr.  Ley  remarks  “some  not  distinguishable  from  type, 
the  broader-leaved  specimens  approaching  monticola 
Arv.-Touv.,  f.  latifoliaT— S.  H.  Bickham.  I  place  this 
under  the  type  as  a  form,  not  one  of  the  named  varieties

H.  umbellatum  L.,  var.  - .  Bank  near  the 
Station,  Lynton,  N.  Devon,  v.c.  4,  Aug.  25,  1908.  Style 
yellow.  This  form  with  short  leaves,  usually  subentire, 
but  sometimes  with  one  pair  of  large  teeth,  is  allied  to 
var.  monticola  Jord.,  but  only  in  some  respects;  and 
therefore  may  remain  as  a  form  of  the  type _ E.  F.  Linton. 
Near  var.  monticola  Arv.-Touv.,  form  latifolia _ A.  Ley.

Stream-sides  near  Oykell  Bridge,  E.  Ross,  v.c.  106,  July 
8  and  10,  1908.  Determined  by  Mr.  W.  H.  Beeby.  Owing 
perhaps  to  the  long  drought  not  a  single  plant  was  seen 
in  flower;  and  the  fruit  was  mostly  shed _ E.  S.  Marshall.

Tragopogon  pratense  L.  Scraptoft,  Leics.,  v.c.  55, 
June  22,  1905.  According  to  the  “Flora  of  Leics.,”  (1886), 
p.  98,  Tragopogon  pratense  L.,  type,  is  not  found  in  Leics., 
only  the  var.  minus  (now  recognised  as  a  species)  being 
noticed  at  that  time.  The  type  therefore  is  a  new  record 
for  v.c.  55.  These  specimens  were  gathered  in  an  upland 
meadow  laid  to  grass,  in  association  with  Botrychium 
Lunaria,  Spircca  Filipendula,  etc.  It  was  first  pointed 
out  by  the  Rev.  H.  P.  Reader,  and  has  since  been  noticed 
at  other  localities  in  the  county ;  so  that  the  var.  minus 
cannot  be  said  to  be  the  dominant  form,  as  supposed _ 
A.  R.  Horwood.  In  the  only  open  flower  on  my  two 
plants  the  florets  considerably  exceed  the  phyllaries ;  this 
would  appear  to  make  it  var.  Symei  Ar.  Benn.  ( T .  pratensis,
