are  not  in  fruit,  but  they  must  pass,  I  think,  as  the 
reptans  of  Britain,  as  they  are  much  the  same  as  the 
Loch  Leven  form.  The  reptans  of  the  Continent  is  more 
extreme,  apparently. — C.B.S. 
R.  acris  L.,  var.  Marsh  meadows,  Duddingston, 
Edinburghsh.,  v.c.  88,  June  4,  1911. — McT.  Cowan,  junr. 
This  agrees  better  with  Rouy  and  Foncaud’s  description 
of  R.  Friesianus  Jord.  than  with  that  of  R.  Steveni 
Andrz. :  it  is  less  hairy  than  the  latter ;  hairs  tawny, 
rather  short  (not  red);  leaf-lobes  contiguous. —  E.S.M. 
This  plant  decidedly  comes  under  R.  tomophyllus  Jord. 
In  the  London  Catalogue  tomophyllus  is  classed  as  a 
“form”  of  R.  Borceanus  Jord. ;  but  it  is  as  markedly  distinct 
from  the  latter  as  either  of  the  acris  varieties. — J.W.W. 
Caltha  palustris  L.,  var.  minor  Syme.  Ben  Lawers, 
Mid  Perth,  v.c.  88,  July,  1911.— P.  Ewing.  Syme  did  not 
describe  this  as  a  species,  as  is  implied  by  the  labels. 
Apparently  the  original  name  is  var.  minor  DC.,  Syst.,  I. 
809.  Roots  sent  by  me  to  Mr.  Hunnybun  to  grow  in¬ 
creased  greatly  in  size  in  a  single  season. — E.S.M. 
Aconitum  Napellus  L.  By  a  stream  between  Ford 
and  Milverton,  S.  Somerset,  v.c.  5,  June  2,  1911.  Abundant 
for  fully  four  miles,  and  apparently  a  true  native. — E.  S. 
Marshall. 
Fumaria  Borcei  Jord.  Rothley  Plain,  Leics.,  v.c.  55, 
Aug.  1910.  This  has  been  named  by  Mr.  Pugsley.  It  is 
believed  to  be  a  new  county  record.  It  was  found  on  the 
border  of  a  cornfield  in  great  plenty,  and  had  been  known 
in  the  station  for  many  years.  The  man  on  the  farm 
stated  that  he  had  long  known  it  as  “  Little  Dill.” — 
W.  Bell.  Correct.  It  is  F.  muralis  Sond.,  subsp.  Borcei , 
Pugsley  in  Journ.  Bot.,  XL.,  178  (1902). — H.W.P. 
F.  [major  Badarro] .  Gilly  Tresamble,  Perranarworthal, 
W.  Cornwall,  v.c.  1,  Oct.  11,  1911.  Abundant  among 
turnips,  mangolds,  and  potatoes  in  a  field  that  for  at  least 
ten  years  previous  had  been  in  grass.  Not  a  single  plant 
could  be  seen  during  the  last  week  in  August.  Racemes 
fewer  flowered  than  in  former  years,  probably  OAving  to 
the  very  dry  season.— F.  H.  Davey.  The  sheet  sent  is 
not  F.  'major ,  but  the  F.  paradoxa  of  my  “  Fumaria  in
