to  be  separated  from  H.  strictum.  The  present  gathering 
agrees  well  enough  with  my  examples  of  H.  angustum, 
some  of  which  were  determined  by  Lindeberg  himself. — 
Edward  S.  Marshall.  Leaves  rather  shorter  than  usual, 
but  otherwise  this  agrees  with  typical  plants. — E.F.L. 
H.  corymbosum  Fr.,  var.  salicifolium  (Lindeb.).  Origin, 
Craig  Dulyn,  Carnarvonsh.  Cult.  Aug.  1910.  Craig 
Dulyn  is  the  station  at  which  this  variety  was  first  noted 
from  Britain  in  1886,  I  believe  by  Dr.  Lindeberg  himself.

H.  boreale  Fr.,  var.  Hervieri  Arv.  Touv.  Edmond- 
sham,  Dorset,  v.c.  9,  Sept.  13,  1910,  and  three  cultivated 
specimens  of  the  same.  These  latter  shew  the  points  of 
the  plant  best,  as  the  wild  specimens  were  rather  over¬ 
grown.  It  is  not  exactly  the  same  as  other  Dorset 
specimens,  but  seems  best  placed  under  var.  Hervieri. —

— W.  R.  Sherrin.  H.  boreale  Fr. — E.F.L.  Under  H. 
boreale  Fr. ;  a  variety,  remarkable  for  its  glabrescent 
foliage,  which  has  extraordinarily  long,  acute,  forward- 
pointing  teeth.  The  phyllaries  are  not  black,  as  in  the 
type,  but  tend  towards  the  grey-green  colour  of  var. 
Hervieri. — E .  S.M. 
H.  sabaudum  L.,  var.  calvatum  F.  J.  Hanb.  Origin,

I  must  speak  with  some  doubt  concerning  the  varietal 
name  of  this  plant.  It  differs  from  the  Carnarvonshire 
plant  originally  so  named  by  Mr.  Hanbury  in  having  its 
leaves  oval  or  broadly  oval  instead  of  broadly  elliptic  : 
but  agrees  in  its  glabrous  stem,  black  phyllaries,  and 
especially  in  the  comparatively  few  leaves. — A.  Ley.  If 
var.  calvatum  be  truly  glabrous,  as  described,  this  form 
can  only  be  called  a  form  of  H.  boreale ,  making  some 
approach  to  the  variety —E.F.L.  I  think  that  H.  boreale 
Fr.  (under  which  this  variety  was  published)  is  the  best 
name  for  our  common  British  plant.  Var.  calvatum  is 
described  as  glabrous  ;  which  is  far  from  being  the  case  in 
the  specimen  before  me.  The  lower  part  of  the  stem  is 
floccose,  with  a  good  many  long,  slender  white  hairs  ;  the 
leaves  have  short,  scattered  oppressed  hairs  on  their
