S- - ?  Plentiful  by  the  River  Wreake,  Hoby, 
Leics.,  v.c.  55,  July,  1908.  Numerous  large  bushes,  but 
very  few  catkins.  Sent  for  determination.— W.  Bell.  Looks 
like  S.  alba  x  triandra. — E.S.M,  S.  alba  L.,  a  form  with 
rather  small  catkins  and  leaves,  which  I  have  seen  in  the 
Midlands,  and  which  is  probably  due  to  local  circum¬ 
stances. — E.F.L. 
S.  caprea  x  myrsinites.  Made  at  Bournemouth  by 
design;  hort.  Edmondsham,  Dorset,  May  1  and  July  3, 
1908.  This  hybrid  was  not  issued  in  the  “Set  of  British 
Willows,”  as  the  material  at  command  could  not  be 
warranted.  The  plant  now  sent  out  was  produced  from 
S.  myrsinites  S  and  S.  caprea  2  ,  an  important  fact 
proving  the  caprea  parentage,  which  might  otherwise  not 
have  been  suspected. — E.  F.  Linton. 
S.  caprea  x  lanata.  (No.  282).  Produced  and  grown 
at  Bournemouth  early  in  May,  1903,  and  at  Edmondsham 
July  16,  1906 — E.  F.  Linton. 
S.  cinerea  x  myrsinites.  (No.  278).  Made  at  Bourne¬ 
mouth.  Hort.  Edmondsham,  Dorset.  Catkins,  May  10 
and  12,  1908;  foliage,  July  4,  1908.— E.  F.  Linton. 
S.  lanata  x  repens.  Produced  by  design  from  $  S. 
lanata  and  2  S.  repens ;  hort.  Bournemouth,  May  25, 
1898,  and  hort.  Edmondsham,  July  17,  1908.  This  is  the 
same  as  No.  99  of  the  “  Set  of  British  Willows”  (1894,  etc.). 
The  hybrid  has  not  yet  been  discovered  in  nature.— E.  F. 
Linton. 
S.  myrsinites  L.,  form  procumbens  (Forbes).  The 
predominant  form  of  this  species  on  the  limestone  near 
Inchnadamph,  between  300  and  1200  feet  altitude,  W. 
Sutherland,  v.c.  108,  July,  1908.  Some  of  the  specimens 
found  are  as  extreme  as  I  have  seen  anywhere.  Only  a 
few  thin  sheets  are  available.— E.  S.  Marshall.  Good 
examples  of  procumbens  (Forbes),  which  is  very  character¬ 
istic  at  Inchnadamph _ E.F.L. 
Orchis  - .  (Ref.  No.  3240).  Inchnadamph,  W. 
Sutherland,  v.c.  108,  July  21,  1908.  I  send  a  few  sheets 
of  a  plant  found  by  Mr.  W.  A.  Shoolbred  and  myself ;  it 
is  closely  allied  to  O.  maculata  L.,  but  remarkably  distinct, 
when  living,  by  its  white  flowers  (often  marked  with  rose 
on  the  labellum),  narrower  and  often  elongate  inflorescence, 
concolorous  leaves,  slender  habit,  etc _ E.  S.  Marshall.
