Thellung.  Ivory  Hill,  nr.  Frampton  Cotterell,  W.  Glos. 
v.c.  84,  July  18,  1910. — J.  W.  White.  If  this  differs  at  all 
from  var.  canescens  Gren.  and  Godr.  (L.  Smithii  Hook.),  it 
can  only  he  as  a  slight  form  or  sub-variety.  “  Bab.  Man.,  ’ 
ed.  9,  describes  the  pouches  as  “smooth,”  and  Hooker, 
“  Stud.  FL,”  ed.  3,  as  “nearly  smooth.”  I  doubt  the 
advisability  of  distinguishing  the  present  plant,  which  has 
quite  glabrous  pods,  even  when  young. — E.S.M. 
Reseda  inodora  Reichb.  (1)  Falmouth  Docks  W 
Cornwall,  v.c.  1,  Aug.  6,  1910 ;  (2)  Par,  v.c.  2,  July  18,  191o! 
There  were  only  a  few  plants  at  Falmouth,  but  at  Par  this 
species  for  several  years  has  been  as  thoroughly  established 
as  Coronilla  varia  and  Verbaseum  phlomoides .  It  is  not 
recorded  in  Dunn’s  “Alien  Flora.”— F.  H.  Davey.  Probably 
a  ballast-introduction  ;  Nyman  gives  its  European  distri¬ 
bution  as  follows: — Illyria,  Hungary,  Croatia,  Servia, 
Moldavia,  North ern  Thrace,  Podolia,  and  Bessarabia. _ 
E.S.M.  This  is  one  of  the  many  forms  of  R.  lutea  L. 
Reichenbach,  under  the  name  of  R.  inodora ,  described  and 
figured  a  very  different  plant  with  entire  lower  leaves  and 
a  capsule  with  acute  serrate  angles  (“Ic.  FI  Germ  ”  ii  22 
t.  99).— S.T.D.  ‘  '  ’ 
Viola  hirta  L.,  f.  lactiflora  Reichb.  Cadbury  Camp 
N.  Somerset,  v.c.  6,  March  28,  1910.  The  plant  is  remark¬ 
ably  handsome,  but  as  the  purple  veins  disappear  in  the 
dry  state  the  large  petals  appear  as  white  as  the  centre.— 
Ida  M.  Roper.  A  well  known  and  very  beautiful  plant  in 
this  locality. — E.S.G. 
V.  hirta  x  odorata  (=  permixta  Jord.).  Hedge, 
A1  vest  on  Common,  W.  Glos.,  v.c.  84,  March  30,  191  o’. 
There  appears  to  be  still  some  uncertainty  in  the  minds  of 
those  botanists  who  have  given  special  attention  to  this 
genus  as  to  whether  this  true  species  may  not  be  merely  a 
primary  hybrid,  but  there  is  no  doubt  that  it  occasionally 
produces  good  fruit  and  that  plenty  of  seedlings  spring  up 
around  it.  Ida  M.  Roper.  Yes,  I  think  correct. _ E.S.G 
Doubtless  the  suggested  hybrid;  nearer  to  V.  odorata  of 
the  two. — E.S.M.
