and  I  find  that  without  exception  the  fruit  is  hairy  and 
that  the  glabrous  variety  is  confined  to  gardens. — Ida  M. 
Boper. 
Callitriche  intermedia  Hoffm.,  var.  tenuifolia  Lonnr. 
Llyn  Idwal,  Carnarvonsh.,  v.c.  49,-Aag.  9,  1910.— G.  Goode. 
Lonnroth’s  varietal  name  was  published  under  C.  hamulata 
Kuetz.  I  think  that  it  may  pass,  though  there  are  a  few 
broader  leaves  (rudimentary  rosette-leaves)  on  my  sheet. 
Bouy  (“  FI.  de  France,”  Xli.  p.  188)  makes  C.  verna  “  L.” 
{  =  vernalis  Koch),  var.  tenuifolia  Car.  et  St.  Lag.,  a 
synonym  of  C.  tenuifolia  Pers.,  and  cites  our  plant  as 
C.  hamulata ,  var.  homoiophylla  Godr.  ap.  Gren.  and  Godr. 
(“FI.  de  France,”  p.  591);  but,  valuable  and  suggestive  as 
this  author  often  is,  a  good  deal  of  his  work  is  so  crude 
and  unsatisfactory  on  some  critical  genera  ( Salico?mia ,  for 
instance),  that  I  do  not  feel  much  confidence  in  this 
arrangement.— E.S.M.  (See  also  26th  Kept.,  p.  236). 
Epilobium  hirsutum  L.,  var.  subglabrum  Koch. 
Streamside,  Fairland,  N.  Somerset,  v.c.  6,  Aug.  10,  1910. 
— J.  W.  White.  This  plant  is  by  no  means  “  subglabrous,” 
and  certainly  has  no  sufficient  claim  to  varietal  rank. 
The  species  varies  greatly  in  the  amount  of  its  pubescence; 
and  no  distinction  based  on  such  grounds  alone  is  of  any 
value.— E.S.M.  (See  also  Kept.  B.E.C.  1910,  p.  563). 
E.  lanceolatun  Seb.  &  Maur.  On  rock,  Ivory  Hill, 
Winterbourne,  W.  Glos.,  v.c.  34,  July  16,  1910. — Ida  M. 
Boper.  Excellent  material ;  the  thickness  and  high  colour 
of  the  foliage  point  to  a  sunny  situation,  so  that  it  is  a 
“  forma  aprica.” — E.S.M. 
E.  Lamyi  F.  Schultz.  Winningfort  Wood,  Northants, 
v.c.  32,  Aug.  4,  1910. — A.  Ley.  Very  characteristic  speci¬ 
mens  of  this  thoroughly  distinct,  but  often  misunderstood 
species. — E.S.M. 
Galium  Mollugo  x  verum.  Hybrids  A,  B,  and  G, 
with  specimens  of  the  parent  plants.  Near  Hoarwithy, 
Herefordsh.,  v.c.  36,  July  1909.  (See  “  New  Phytologist,” 
Dec.  1909). — Coll.  Miss  E.  Armitage.  Comm.  S.  H. 
Bickham.  An  interesting  series.  A  is  very  near  G. 
verum  in  foliage ;  B  more  intermediate  ;  C  approaches
