compare  them  with  Willdenow’s  in  Berlin.  He  replied, 
“The  Aster  you  sent  me  is  quite  the  same  plant  as  the 
specimens  in  Willdenow’s  Herbarium,  only  one  specimen 
has  slightly  broader  leaves.” — F.  H.  Davey. 
A.  Linosyris  Bernh.  Limestone  cliffs,  Berry  Head, 
S.  Devon,  v.c.  8,  Sept.  13,  1911. — W.  C.  Barton. 
GnaphaUum  [norvegicum  Gunn.] .  Haughton,  Alford, 
N.  Aberdeensh.,  v.c.  93,  Aug.  23,  1910. — Coll.  Mrs.  Wedg¬ 
wood.  Comm.  R.  S.  Standen.  This  is  a  dark-flowered 
form  of  G.  sylvaticum  L.,  not  uncommon  in  the  north  of 
Scotland.  True  G.  norvegicum  is,  with  us,  a  decidedly 
alpine  species,  readily  distinguishable  by  its  much  broader 
leaves  and  short,  still  darker  flower-spikes. — E.S.M. 
Inula  britannica  L.  Cropston  Reservoir,  near 
Leicester,  v.c.  55,  Aug.  20,  1911.— Coll.  G.  Mercer. 
Comm.  S.  H.  Bickham. 
Santolina  Chamae-Cyparissus  L.  Sand  hills,  Rock, 
E.  Cornwall,  v.c.  2,  Aug.,  1911. — H.  Boyden.  This  is 
naturalized  in  one  or  two  places  in  Cornwall. — F.  H. 
Davey. 
Matricaria  - ?  Poole  Harbour,  Dorset,  v.c.  9, 
Aug.  1911. — H.  E.  Fox.  This  looks  like  a  very  small¬ 
headed  form,  or  state,  of  M.  inodora  L.,  var.  salina  Bab. 
— E.S.M.  M.  inodora ,  var.  salina  ;  not  uncommon  on  the 
shore  of  Poole  Harbour. — E.F.L. 
Artemisia  vulgaris  L.,  var.  coarctata  Forselles.  New- 
bold-on-Stour,  Worcs.,  v.c.  37,  Aug.  25,  1906. — C.  H. 
Waddell.  Correct;  the  prevailing  form  in  Britain. — 
E.S.M. 
Cnicus  arvensis  Hoffm.,  var.  mitis  Koch.  Waste 
ground,  High  Steep,  Jarvis  Brook,  E.  Sussex,  v.c.  14, 
Sept.  1911. — J.  Comber.  Koch  [Synopsis  (1844),  p.  457] 
says,  “  ft.  mite  fol.  caulinis  sinuatis,  rameis  integris  vel 
dentatis  mitius  spinosis.”  Mr.  Comber’s  plant  is  perhaps 
best  placed  under  this,  as  it  is  away  from  type  by  its 
leaves  not  being  pinnatifid  and  its  branch-leaves  being 
more  or  less  entire. — C.E.S.  Yes;  but  Koch’s  name  is 
Cirsium  arvense  Scop.,  ft.  mite . — E.S.M.  I  think  Cirsium
