distinguishable  in  my  material ;  but  it  has  the  closely 
twining  habit  of  C.  Trifolii,  and  is  doubtless  rightly 
named. — E.S.M. 
Verbascum  virgatum  Stokes.  Waste  ground,  Ashton 
Gate,  Bristol,  N.  Somerset,  v.c.  6,  July  26,  1909.  The 
locality  is  the  site  of  some  abandoned  iron-works,  where 
the  plant  has  been  known  for  several  years  and  seems  to 
be  increasing. — Ida  M.  Roper.  This  is  not  V.  virgatum 
but  V.  Chaixii  Vill.,  a  continental  species  which  has  been 
found  as  an  alien  in  one  or  two  places  in  England.  A 
plant  recently  sent  to  the  B.E.C.  by  Rev.  H.  J.  Riddelsdell 
as  a  form  of  V.  nigrum  turned  out  to  be  V.  Chaixii ,  which 
appears  to  have  been  doing  duty  for  V.  nigrum  in  Glam¬ 
organshire.  It  differs  from  nigrum  in  having  a  branched 
inflorescence,  the  groups  of  flowers  being  less  approximate. 
The  lowest  leaves  are  not  cordate,  but  are  narrowed  into 
the  petiole,  the  leaf- margin  being  irregularly  sinuate.

Linaria  supina  Desf.  Par,  E.  Cornwall,  v.c.  2,  Aug. 
30,  1909. — Coll.  R.  H.  Goode.  Comm.  G.  Goode.  This  is 
very  plentiful  and  fully  established  on  the  sands  at  Par. —

Mimulus  moschatus  Dougl.  Naturalised  in  a  wet  spot 
in  woods,  Downton,  Herefordsh.,  v.c.  86,  July  29,  1909. 
I  only  succeeded  in  obtaining  a  few  sheets.  The  plant 
appeared  to  be  scentless. — A.  Ley. 
Veronica  serpyllifolia  L.,  var.  tenella  All.  Herne 
Bay,  E.  Kent,  v.c.  15,  July,  1909. — W.  R.  Sherrin.  Var. 
tenella  Alb,  Bor.,  seems  to  be  a  plant  with  slender  stems, 
entirely  prostrate,  except  just  at  their  flowering  extremities, 
and  with  leaves  almost  orbicular.  Mr.  Sherrin’ s  plant 
does  not  appear  to  agree  with  such  a  description. — C.E.S. 
No  ;  only  the  type.  V.  tenella  All.  (or  humifusa  Dicks.)  is 
a  mountain  plant.  Material  poor.— E.S.M. 
V.  alpina  L.  Caenlochan,  Forfarsh.,  v.c.  90,  (altitude 
3000  feet),  July,  1906. — P.  Ewing.  Yes.-^E.S.M.  Well- 
developed  specimens. — E.F.L. 
V.  hybrida  L.  Gloddaetb,  near  Llandudno,  Carnar- 
vonsh.,  v.c.  49,  Aug.  4,  1909.— G.  Goode.
