upper  surface,  and  are  still  more  pubescent  beneath  ;  nor 
are  they  by  any  means  exceptionally  few;  the  phyllaries 
are  also  pretty  thickly  clothed  with  hairs.  I  do  not  think 
that  this  determination  can  stand. — E.S.M. 
H.  umbellatum  L.,  var.  linariifolium  Wallr.  Road¬ 
side  near  Horsted  Keynes,  E.  Sussex,  v.c.  14,  Aug.  24, 
1910.— R.  S.  Standen.  So  I  should  name  it,  rather  than 
var.  coronopifolium  Fr. — E.S.M.  I  agree. — E.F.L. 
- ?  Pont-rhyd-y-groes  (13  miles  S.E.  of 
Aberystwyth),  Cardigansh.,  v.c.  46,  Aug.  1910.— W.  R. 
Sherrin.  H.  umbellatum  L.  Perhaps  a  strong  form  of 
var.  linariifolium  Wallr.,  with  leaves  a  little  broader  than 
usual.  Too  nearly  entire-leaved,  I  believe,  to  be  placed 
under  var.  coronopifolium  Fr. — E.S.M. 
H.  umbellatum  L.,  f.  latifolia  Linton  ?  Banks  of 
Ouse,  Lindfield,  E.  Sussex,  v.c/  14,  Aug.  27,  1910. — R.  S. 
Standen.  This  plant  has  the  phyllaries  more  clothed 
with  hairs  and  glands  than  our  f.  latifolia.  It  needs 
consideration. — E.F.L.  My  example  of  this  gathering  is 
very  incomplete,  consisting  only  of  the  lower  half  of  the 
stem,  with  three  lateral  flowering-branches.  It  has  no 
resemblance,  except  in  size,  to  my  S.  Devon  H.  umbellatum , 
var.  monticola ,  f.  latifolia ;  nor,  indeed,  can  I  believe  that 
it  is  a  form  of  H.  umbellatum  at  all,  as  the  phyllaries  are 
decidedly,  though  somewhat  sparsely  pilose,  instead  of 
being  nearly  or  quite  glabrous.  The  root  is  not  present, 
so  that  one  cannot  tell  whether  it  is  aphyllopodous ;  but 
I  think  it  most  probably  a  var.  of  aggregate  H.  rigidum 
Hartru.,  in  the  section  with  heads  pilose,  but  nearly  or 
quite  eglandular,  and  not  answering  to  any  of  our 
described  varieties.  The  leaves  are  very  many  and 
crowded,  with  numerous  irregular  teeth ;  the  styles  of 
the  dried  plant  are  almost  black. — E.S.M. 
Taraxacum  - ?  Loose  sand  dunes,  Hunstanton, 
W.  Norfolk,  v.c.  28,  June  6,  1910.  This  does  not  appear 
to  agree  with  the  description  of  any  of  our  recognised 
dandelions. — C.  E.  Moss.  T.  erythrospermum  Andrz. 
The  same  form  as  occurs  on  the  Haddingtonshire  coast, 
with  very  pale  achenes.— McT.C.  This  has  the  finely  cut 
foliage  of  T.  erythrospermum  Andrz.,  but  the  achenes 
are  paler  in  colour  than  usual. — A.B.J.  Nearest  to  var.
