Filago  spathulata  Presl.  Fallow  Fields,  Fordham, 
Cambs.,  v.c.  29,  Sept.  15,  1909.— A.  J.  Crosfield.  Rightly 
named. — E.S.M.  &  E.F.L. 
Inula  Helenium  L.  Along  a  boundary  ditch  between 
arable  and  pasture  land  between  Ingst  and  Aust,  W. 
Glos.,  v.c.  84,  Aug.  3,  1909. — Ida  M.  Roper. 
Matricaria  discoidea  DC.  (M.  suaveolens  Buchenau). 
(1)  On  the  beach,  and  on  the  sides  of  the  railway,  between 
Oystermouth  and  Mumbles  Pier,  Sept.  3  and  8,  1909; 
and  on  waste  land  off  Victoria  Avenue,  Castleton,  Sept. 
7,  1909;  all  in  Glamorgansh.,  v.c.  41. — Charles  Bailey. 
(2)  Kirby  Muxloe,  Leics.,  v.c.  55,  July  1,  1909.— A.  R. 
Horwood. 
Senecio  vulgaris  L.,  var.  radiatus  Koch.  By  railway- 
sidings,  Portishead  Station,  N.  Somerset,  v.c.  6,  May  22, 
1909.  This  plant  is  well  established  and  persistently 
appears  every  year.  It  was  still  blooming  in  December. 
— Ida  M.  Roper. 
S.  Cineraria  x  Jacobcea.  Garden  weed,  Brampton 
Abbots,  Herefordsh.,  Aug.  11  and  Sept.  11,  1909.  In  1908 
I  observed  seedlings  coming  up  in  a  garden  where  S. 
Cineraria  DC.  had  been  cultivated  for  some  years,  looking 
different  from  the  parents.  These  developed  in  1909  into 
large  bushy  plants,  of  very  vigorous  growth,  in  habit, 
leaves  and  flowers  just  midway  between  S.  Cineraria  and 
S.  Jacobcea. — A.  Ley. 
Carduus  pycnoceplialus  L.  Shingly  beach,  Severn 
bank,  New  Passage,  W.  Glos.,  v.c.  34,  July  5,  1909.  This 
plant,  which  is  abundant  on  the  shingle,  may  be  C.  tenui¬ 
florus  (Curt.),  but  the  distinction  between  the  two  is  not 
very  clearly  given  in  Babington’s  “  Manual.”— Ida  M. 
Roper.  Not  pycnocephalus,  which  has  larger  flowers, 
borne  on  peduncles  naked  at  the  summit,  but  C.  tenui- 
florus  (Curt.),  the  common  plant  of  the  coast. — C.E.S. 
Yes;  our  usual  English  form  ( C .  tenuiflorus  Curt.),  I 
think. — E.S.M.  This  seems  to  me  the  usual  form  in 
Britain,  which  Messrs.  Groves  say  is  var.  tenuiflorus 
(Curt.).— E.F.L.
