U.  dioica  L.,  var.  microphylla  Hausm.  Edge  Quarry, 
Cheshire,  v.c.  58,  Aug.  15,  1908.  I  feel  doubtful  about 
this.  By  description,  the  leaves  being  considerably 
smaller  and  narrower,  hardly  cordate,  long  pointed,  is  all 
that  is  required  to  characterize  it.  These  peculiarities 
I  think  it  possesses,  but  it  ran  into  the  type.  The  variety 
grew  at  the  lower  side  of  a  Rubies,  on  the  undisturbed, 
almost  rocky  soil  of  a  roadside ;  but  on  the  upper  side  of 
the  bush,  in  the  sandy  debris  of  the  quarry,  the  type  only 
was  to  be  found.  In  some  of  these  examples  an  approach 
to  the  type  can  be  seen  in  the  more  cordate  leaves _ 
A.  H.  Wolley-Dod.  Just  like  what  I  have,  so  named _ 
E.S.M.  I  do  not  think  this  is  the  plant  described  in 
Hausmann’s  Flora  von  Tirol  (1858),  II.,  p.  771.  I  had 
good  examples  of  that  plant  but  they  were  given  to  the 
late  Mr.  C.  B.  Clarke.  I  think  it  may  bear  the  name  of 
var.  angustifolia ;  described  by  the  following  authors  : — 
P  angustifolia  Wimm.  et  Grab.  FI.  Silesiae,  1827-29. 
P  angustifolia  Petermann  ex  Opiz,  Seznam  Rostlin 
Kv.  Ceske,  1842. 
P  angustifolia  Blytt,  Veg.  Sogn.  (1869),  p.  108. 
P  angustifolia  Ledebour,  FI.  Alt.  (1829-33),  VI.,  p.  240. 
=  U.  angustifolia  Fisch  ex  Hornemann,  Hortus 
Haf'n.  Suppl.  (1819),  p.  107. 
A  variety  that  I  think  has  not  been  mentioned  in 
British  Floras  is  U.  dioica  L.,  var.  atrovirens  Gren.  et 
Godr.,  FI.  Fr.,  (1855)  III.,  p.  408.  I  have  it  gathered  by 
Mr.  E.  Straker  at  Coulsdon,  Surrey,  1881 _ A.B. 
Betula  alpestris  Fr. !  ( B .  nana  2  X  tomentosa  $). 
(Ref.  No.  2449).  N.E.  base  of  Ben  Loyal,  at  800  feet,  W. 
Sutherland,  v.c.  108,  Aug.  7,  1900.  Exactly  the  plant  of 
Fries,  Herbarium  Normale.  Both  parents  grew  close  by. 
My  remaining  duplicates  are  now  sent,  as  they  may  be 
acceptable  to  some  of  our  newer  members _ E.  S.  Marshall. 
(See  Jl.  Bot.  1901,  p.  271). 
Salix  alba  x  - .  Brookside,  Thurnby  Court, 
Leics.,  v.c.  55,  May  30,  1908.  Several  very  large  trees 
60  feet  or  more  high — H.  Quilter  and  W.  Bell.  S.  alba 
type ;  $  flowers  only.  I  hope  members  will  always  get 
summer  foliage  and  flowers  from  the  same  bush,  when 
possible;  $  flowers  are  not  easy  to  be  sure  of  without 
foliage _ E.F.L.
