characteristic  examples  of  this  well-marked  variety  (or 
perhaps,  rather,  subspecies).  It  does  not  change  appreciably 
when  cultivated. — Edward  S.  Marshall.  Very  good  var. 
serratifolia.— E.F.L. 
S.  decipiens  Ehrh.  (Ref.  No.  3670).  Cultivated  at 
West  Monkton,  May  15  and  June  6,  1911.  Originally  from 
near  Snowdon  (probably  Twll  Du),  v.c.  49,  Carnarvon ; 
roots  were  sent  me  by  Mr.  S.  H.  Bickham  (who  had  it 
from  a  guide  named  Williams)  as  S.  ccespitosa  L.,  which 
it  clearly  is  not,  at  least  in  a  segregate  sense.  It  is 
believed  to  be  extinct  there,  as  I  understand ;  so  that 
cultivated  specimens  may  be  useful.  Quite  distinct  from 
any  other  British  saxifrage ;  Mr.  Lloyd  Praeger’s  plant 
from  Clare  Island,  W.  Mayo,  appears  to  be  identical. 
This  is  evidently  the  S.  palmata  of  Smith,  figured  in 
“  English  Botany  ”  with  the  leaves  too  pointed.  If  S.  rosacea 
Moench  is  correctly  identified  with  Ehrhart’s  species,  it 
claims  priority ;  for  the  present  I  prefer  the  better  known 
name  used  by  Smith,  Syme,  Engler,  and  botanists  in 
general. — Edward  S.  Marshall. 
Bupleurum  fruticosum  L.  Established  on  Malvern 
Hills,  near  Wynd’s  Point,  Worcs.,  v.c.  37,  Aug.  23,  1911. — 
S.  H.  Bickham.  Correct. — S.T.D.  A  Mediterranean 
(western)  species,  which  grows  to  a  height  of  about  fifteen 
feet  against  the  west  wall  of  my  house. — E.S.M. 
Oenanthe  pimpinelloides  L.  (1)  Edmondsham,  Dorset, 
v.c.  9,  Aug.  7,  1911.  This  species,  of  which  fruiting 
specimens  are  sent,  is  rather  frequent  in  S.E.  Dorset, 
especially  along  the  line  where  the  secondary  and  tertiary 
rocks  are  blended,  and  on  the  greensand  near  Swanage. 
— E.  F.  Linton.  (2)  Hedge,  Upwey,  Dorset,  v.c.  9,  June 
4,  1911.— Ida  M.  Roper.  Yes,  showing  well  the  character¬ 
istic  root-leaves  which  fade  away  later. — C.E.S. 
Galium  verum  L.,  var.  maritimum  DC.  On  blown 
sand,  Walney  Island,  N.  Lancs.,  v.c.  69,  Aug.,  1911. — J. 
Comber.  Rightly  named. — E.S.M.  Evidently  var.  littorale 
Breb.,  which  Mr.  J.  W.  White  (“  FI.  Bristol,”  p.  356)  states 
is  identical  with  maritimum  DC. — C.E.S. 
Aster  salignus  Willd.  Par,  E.  Cornwall,  v.c.  2,  Oct. 
2,  1911.  I  sent  specimens  to  Dr.  Graebner  asking  him  to
