description  of  it  (“  Ess.  Mon./'  No.  106)  suits  our  plant 
so  nearly  as  to  justify  our  provisional  adoption  of  the 
name.  It  keeps  quite  distinct  from  its  allies  R.  hypoleucus 
and  R.  leucostachys,  and  is  now  known  in  twelve  English 
vice-counties.  Locally  abundant  near  Bournemouth, 
Hants,  and  Dorset. — W.M.R. 
R.  mucronatus  Blox.,  var.  nudicaulis  Rogers.  Middle 
Chine,  Bournemouth,  S.  Hants.,  v.c.  11,  June  29,  1911. — 
W.  Moyle  Rogers. 
R.  oigocladus  Muell.  &  Lefv.,  var.  Bloxamianus 
(Golem.).  Groby  Pool,  Leicestersh.,  v.c.  55,  July  9,  1910.

R.  [. Babingtonii  Bell  Salt.] .  (1)  In  a  coppice  at  Pond 
Lye,  Cuckfield,  E.  Sussex,  v.c.  14,  Sept.  2,  1911.  (2) 
Lindfield,  E.  Sussex,  v.c.  14,  Sept.  18,  1911.— R.  S. 
Standen.  Apparently  mixed  pieces.  Not  R.  Babing¬ 
tonii  Bell  Salt.— W.M.R. 
R.  plinthostylus  Genev.  Perranarworthal,  W.  Corn¬ 
wall,  v.c.  1,  July  15,  1911.  A  common  and  well-marked 
species  throughout  mid-Cornwall. — F.  H.  Davey.  Yes, 
I  think  one  of  the  very  weakly  developed  forms  of  the 
species  that  occur  with  more  typical  ones  in  W.  Cornwall.

R.  [ hirtus  Waldst.  &  Kit.,  var.  rubiginosus  P.  J. 
Muell.]  .  Rocky  Wood,  St.  Mary’s  Glen,  Coniston,  N. 
Lancashire,  v.c.  69,  Sept.,  1911. — J.  Comber.  A  somewhat 
shade-grown  state  of  my  R.  dasyphyllus ,  though  collected 
too  late  in  the  year  for  fully  characteristic  panicles. —

Potentilla - .  Perranarworthal,  W.  Cornwall,  v.c. 
1,  Sept.  30,  1911.  Many  plants  were  in  full  flower  the 
last  week  in  December. — F.  H.  Davey.  This  appears  to 
me  to  be  a  small  form  of  P.  reptans i  All  the  flowers  and 
most  of  the  leaves  on  this  specimen  are  5-merous,  so  that 
I  cannot  see  any  trace  of  P.  sylvestris  in  it. — C.B.  I 
have  never  studied  these  Potentilla  forms,  but  I  should 
have  thought  Mr.  Bucknall’s  description  well  fitted  the 
specimen  I  have. — C.E.S.  I  see  no  clear  evidence  of 
anything  but  P.  procumbens,  except  that  no  fruit  appears
