nothing  in  the  material  before  me  to  shew  whether  this 
is  or  is  not  var.  humilis ;  which  I  have  not  seen  growing, 
but  suspect  to  be  only  a  state  caused  by  exposure. _ E.S.m! 
Ononis  repens  L.,  var.  horrida  Lange.  Luffness 
Links,  Haddingtonsh.,  v.c.  82,  Aug.  6,  1910.  At  this 
station  there  are  large  areas  m  the  zone  between  the  sand 
dunes  and  the  closed  grass  formation  of  farther  inland 
covered  with  the  type,  but  the  variety  seems  to  be  confined 
to  several  well  marked  areas  of  some  few  square  yards 
each.  I  returned  to  the  localities  later  but  found  that 
the  plants  had  not  fruited  freely.— McT.  Cowan,  jun. 
Yes.  On  sand  dunes,  this  form  or  variety  is  sometimes 
very  abundant.  C.E.M.  Yes  (O.  maritima  Dumort.). 
I  have  only  gathered  this  on  both  sides  of  Bridgwater 
Bay,  Somerset. — E.S.M. 
Trifolium  [resupinatum  L.] .  Leigh-on-Sea,  Essex 
v.c.  18,  Aug.,  1910.— W.  R.  Sherrin.  No.  This  is  T.  pro- 
cumbens  L.,  var.  minus  Koch  (=  T.  campestre  Schreb 
p.  Schreberi  Rouy  and  Fouc.).— C.E.S.  T.  resupinatum 
belongs  to  the  “  Fragifera  ”  section  of  the  genus,  this  to 
^  ^  Chrofiosemium  section,  and  is  T.  procumbens  L. 
Anthyllis  Vulneraria  L.,  var.  coccinea  L.  Dry  banks 
Polzeath,  E.  Cornwall,  v.c.  2,  Aug.,  1910.— H.  E.  Fox! 
A.  Vulneraria  L.,  var.  coccinea  L.  has  flowers  red  con- 
colorous.  Our  plant  named  A.  Billenii  Schultes  is 
different ;  it  has  cream-coloured  flowers,  tipped  with  red. 
I  have  seen  var.  coccinea  from  S.  Devon,  Cornwall,  and 
(strange  to  say)  Ben  Lawers,  Perthshire,  whence  Mr. 
C.  P.  Hurst  sent  me  fresh  specimens  a  few  years  ago. 
A.  BiUenii,  which  is  always  a  small  plant — I  have  gathered 
var.  coccinea  nearly  a  foot  high,  with  larger  heads -seems 
to  be  strictly  littoral,  ranging  from  E.  Sussex!  to  W 
Sutherland ! — E.S.M. 
Vicia  gracilis  Lois.  Field  of  wheat,  Coton,  Cambs 
v.c.  29,  Aug.  28,  1910.— A.  J.  Crosfield.  Yes,  good  gracilis, 
coming  under  the  a.  leiocarpa  Gren.  and  Godr.,  as  it  has 
glabrous  pods.  I  do  not  possess  any  examples  of  the 
hairy-podded  form  (p.  eriocarpa,  G.  &  G.),  and  do  not  know 
if  it  occurs  in  Britain.  As  mentioned  in  Journ.  Bot.  1908, 
p.  264,  V.  gracilis  may  always  be  separated  from  any
