laevigatum  of  our  forms. — A.B.  Handel-Mazzetti,  in  his 
Monograph  of  Taraxacum,  has  changed  the  names — I 
think  wrongly.  Dr.  Moss’s  plant  clearly  comes  under 
what  we  call  T.  erytlfirospermum  Andrz.,  DC.  The  fruit 
is  pale  pinkish  brown,  not  brick-red.  Mr.  W.  H.  Beeby 
informed  me  that  we  had  probably  one  or  two  subspecies 
of  that  in  Britain,  besides  the  type. — E.S.M. 
Galluna  vulgaris  Hull.  Goatham,  Edmondsham, 
Dorset,  v.c.  9,  Sept.  13,  1910.  Not  asked  for,  but  sent  as 
the  growth  was  remarkably  fine  this  year. — E.  F.  Linton. 
Erica  ciliaris  x  Tetralix.  Growing  with  the  parents 
on  damp  heath  near  Wareham,  Dorset,  v.c.  9,  Sept.  17, 1910. 
Some  specimens  of  ciliaris  also  sent. — H.  S.  Thompson. 
“  The  hybrid  ciliaris  x  Tetralix  ( Watsoni  Benth.)  is 
also  well  worth  cultivating,  if  it  can  be  procured  or  raised 
artificially.  It  may  be  a  distinctly  English  hybrid,  for 
I  see  no  notice  of  it  in  any  Continental  flora  I  have 
consulted.  It  is  generally  smaller  in  stature  than  ciliaris, 
and  the  wiry  stems  cannot  so  easily  be  pulled  up  from  the 
rootstock,  in  which  respect  also  it  resembles  Tetralix ; 
but  the  foliage  of  what  I  saw  in  Dorset  has  more  of  the 
pretty  ciliaris  character  about  it.  The  flowers  are  longer 
than  those  of  Tetralix,  hut  they  do  not  have  the  pro¬ 
truding  deflexed  style  of  the  other  parent,  nor  are  they  so 
urn-shaped.  The  colour  of  the  hybrid  plants  I  have 
observed  is  generally  a  pale  pink,  but  with  less  of  the 
waxy  appearance  of  Tetralix .”  (Extract  from  “British  and 
Irish  Heaths,”  by  H.S.T.  in  “  The  Gardeners’  Chronicle,” 
5  Nov.,  1910).  In  ciliaris  the  racemes  of  the  flowers  are 
much  shorter  than  I  am  accustomed  to  see  on  Cornish 
specimens.  Of  ciliaris  x  Tetralix  the  specimens  received 
agree  in  every  detail  with  thousands  of  plants  which 
I  have  often  examined  near  Truro,  where  H.  C.  Watson 
first  found  this  interesting  hybrid. — F.H.D.

G.G.  and  R.  H.  Goode.  The  example  sent  me  is,  I  believe, 
best  placed  under  the  type.  The  low-branched  scape, 
small  leaves,  etc.  take  it  away  from  the  variety. — C.E.S.
