R.  Borceanus  Genev.  Open  ground  in  St.  Leonard’s 
Forest,  Horsham,  W.  Sussex,  v.c.  13,  July  17,  1909. _ 
J.  W.  White.  Rightly  named,  I  believe. — A.  Ley.  Yes _

R.  viucronatoides  Ley.  Edge  of  a  coppice  under 
Vron  hill,  New  Radnor,  v.c.  43,  Aug.  11,  1909.  Gathered 
with  Rev.  A.  Ley  and  confirmed  by  Rev.  W.  M.  Rogers,  to 
whom  a  specimen  has  been  sent. — S.  H.  Bickham. 
R.  Gelertii  Frider.  Gospel  Oak,  Clifford’s  Mesne, 
near  Newent,  W.  Glos.,  v.c.  34,  Aug.  27,  1909.  Gathered  in 
company  with  Rev.  H.  J.  Riddelsdell,  and  sent  by  him  to 
Rev.  W.  M.  Rogers,  who  named  it. — A.  Ley. 
Alchemilla  vulgaris  L.,  var.  alpestris  Pohl.  Origin  : 
Hendall  Farm,  Buxted,  E.  Sussex,  v.c.  14.  Cult.  Town- 
lands,  Lindfield,  Sussex,  May  30,  1909.— R.  S.  Standen. 
A.  alpestris  Schmidt.  In  his  recent  exhaustive  mono¬ 
graph  on  this  group  Lindblom  fil.  points  out  that 
A.  vulgaris  L.  is  a  name  of  mixed  or  doubtful  application. 
— E.S.M.  Rightly  named.  There  is  a  specimen  of  old 
date  from  Hendle  Wood,  Maresfield,  in  herb.  Borrer  at 
Kew,  perhaps  the  same  locality. — E.F.L.  Yes,  it  is  the 
same  locality.  Hendall  (Hendle  on  old  maps)  Farm  and 
Wood  are  a  little  nearer  Maresfield  than  Buxted. — G.G. 
Rosa  pimpinelli folia  L.  x  coriifolia  Fr.  ?  Mill  of 
Melrose,  near  Banff,  v.c.  94.  Flowers,  Coll.  W.  Barclay, 
July  9,  1908.  Fruits,  W.  G.  Craib,  Sept.  27,  1907. 
Although  I  have  put  a  mark  of  interrogation  after  the 
name  of  the  second  parent  of  this  hybrid,  I  have  very 
little  doubt  that  the  name  is  correct.  An  examination  of 
the  bushes,  or  rather  clumps,  at  Mill  of  Melrose  led  me 
to  form  the  opinion  that  R.  coriifolia  Fr.  was  the  second 
parent  and  not  R.  dumetorum  Thu  ill.  This  was  confirmed 
by  receiving  last  October  one  or  two  specimens  from  Mr. 
Yeats,  of  Banff,  on  which  two  or  three  fruits,  which  had  not 
fallen  off  but  had  grown  to  nearly  full  size,  showed  the 
sepals  plainly  erect  or  sub-erect.  Although  about  full- 
grown  they  contained  only  two  or  three  apparently  good 
achenes.  A  notice  of  the  discovery  of  this  plant  appeared 
in  the  Annals  of  Scottish  Nat.  History  for  Jan.,  1908.— 
W.B.  Likely  to  be  correctly  named. — A.L.  This  seems 
to  be  a  good  intermediate  between  coriifolia  and  spino-
