Euphorbia  hiberna  L.  Bank  of  R.  Lyn  above  Lyn- 
mouth,  N.  Devon,  v.c.  4,  Sept.  1,  1908— S.  H.  Bickham, 
E.  Esula  L.  (1)  Race  Hill,  Lewes,  E.  Sussex,  v.c. 
14,  June  20,  1899— A.  G.  Gregor.  (2)  Near  Alnwick, 
Northumberland,  v.c.  68,  July,  1908— Coll.  Lady  Muriel 
Percy.  Comm.  D.  M.  Higgins.  The  sub  -species  or  species 
E.  pseudo- Gy parissias  (Jord.).  Alnwick  is  a  known  station 
for  it— E.S.M. 
E.  exigua  L.,  var.  retusa  L.  Cornfield,  Gog  Magog 
Hills,  Cambs.,  v.c.  29,  July  2,  1908— Coll.  R.  H.  Goode. 
Comm.  G.  Goode.  Yes,  the  more  developed  plants  are 
excellent  retusa — E.S.M.  The  var.  is  much  more  marked, 
I  call  this  the  type _ E.F.L. 
Ulmus  glabra  Mill.,  var.  nitida  Sm.  The  Close, 
Salisbury,  S.  Wilts.,  v.c.  8,  Sept.  1,  1908— E.  F.  Linton. 
The  foliage  of  these  specimens  is  exactly  that  of  the 
Cornish  Elm.,  U.  campestris,  var.  cornubiensis  Loudon, 
(=  U‘  stricta  Lindley),  which  is  very  common  in  Cornwall, 
where  U.  campestris  is  very  rare  or  absent.  Isolated  trees 
of  it  are  also  found  in  other  parts  of  England,  but  they 
are  usually  cultivated.  It  is  no  doubt  a  small-leaved  form 
of  U.  glabra  Mill.,  which  appears  to  be  the  only  form  of 
the  campestris  group  which  has  any  claim  to  be  considered 
wild  in  Britain.  In  common  with  other  elms,  U.  glabra 
has  been  loaded  with  fruit  this  year  and  in  several 
localities  natural  seedlings  have  made  their  appearance.

U.  stricta  Lindley.  Huntingdon,  v.c.  31,  Sept.  3, 
1908— Coll.  E.  W.  Hunnybun.  Comm.  S.  H.  Bickham. 
In  my  opinion  this  is  U.  campestris,  var.  glabra  Mill.,  but 
fruit  should  be  gathered  to  make  sure  it  is  a  campestris 
form — E.F.L.  I  think  best  placed  under  XJ.  glabra  for 
the  present.  It  differs  from  the  typical  form  in  its  thinner, 
more  acuminate  leaves,  which  are  slightly  rough  above _

Urtica  dioica  L.,  var.  angustifolia  Wimm.  &  Grab. 
Glyn  Collwng  (in  a  mountain  wood  at  about  1000  feet), 
Brecon  Beacons,  v.c.  42,  Sept.  24,  1908 _ A.  Ley.  My 
example  is  by  no  means  extreme  ;  the  lower  leaves,  indeed, 
are  as  broad  as  usual.  I  should  have  placed  it  between 
the  type  and  the  variety _ E.S.M.
