this ;  but  I  do  not  doubt  that  every  possible  intermediate 
could  be  found  connecting  the  extremes. — C.E.M. 
Limonium  vulgar e  Mill.,  [?  var.  pyramidale  Druce] . 
Poole  Harbour,  Dorset,  v.c.  9,  Aug.  1911. — H.  E.  Fox. 
One  specimen  only  sent ;  presumably  for  naming.  The 
f.  pyramidale  does  grow  at  Poole  Harbour,  but  this 
example  would  not  fall  under  that. — C.E.S. 
Lysimachia  [vulgaris  L.,  var.  angustifolia  Wats.] . 
Boggy  meadow,  Windermere,  Lancs.,  v.c.  69,  Aug.  1911. 
Mr.  Bennett  says :  “  I  can  make  nothing  of  your  Lysi¬ 
machia  but  L.  vulgaris  L.,  var.  angustifolia  Wats.  It  is 
not  quadrifolia ,  or  ciliata,  or  punctata ,  or  stricta ;  all  of 
which  are  alien  species  found  in  various  parts.  It  does 
look  very  different  to  the  usual  vulgaris,  but  Mr.  Watson 
sent  me  specimens  of  the  variety,  and  I  believe  that  is 
what  it  is.” — F.  Long.  [Mr.  Bennett  was  afterwards  of 
opinion  that  it  was  probably  not  Watson’s  plant] .  Not  L. 
vulgaris  at  all.  This  is  the  plant  recorded  in  the  B.E.C. 
Kept.,  Yol.  I.,  p.  186  (1887),  by  Mrs.  Lomax  as  named  by  Mr. 
Baker  L.  stricta  Ait. ;  issued  a  year  before  by  Mr.  G.  E. 
Martindale  under  the  same  name,  collected  in  Aug.  1886, 
from  “  the  Lancashire  shore  of  Windermere  Lake;”  and 
sent  to  this  Club  by  Mr.  C.  Waterfall,  unnamed,  from  “  Edge 
of  Bay,  behind  Ferry  Hotel,  Lake  Windermere,  Lancs.,  Aug. 
1895  ”  (Wats.  B.E.C.  Kept.,  1895-6,  p.  11).  Mr.  S.  T.  Dunn 
gives  L.  stricta  Soland.  in  his  “Alien  Flora.”  No  L. 
stricta,  is  mentioned  in  Baker’s  “FI.  Lake  District”  (1885). 
Whether  the  name  attributed  to  Mr.  Baker  is  correct  I 
cannot  say,  as  L.  stricta  is  only  represented  in  my 
herbarium  by  four  gatherings  of  this  plant ;  but  the  small 
flowers,  short  blunt  (or  mucronate)  sepals  and  petals  only 
slightly  glandular  near  the  base,  and  streaked  with  dark 
brown  (orange  when  fresh)  quite  separate  this  from  any 
near  relation  to  L.  vulgaris. — E.F.L.  This  has  nothing 
to  do  with  L.  vulgaris  L.,  but  is  an  alien,  L.  stricta  Ait., 
a  North  American  species.  Specimens  from  this  locality 
were  distributed  through  the  Watson  Club  in  1895  (see 
Rept.,  1895-6,  p.  11)  by  Mr.  C.  Waterfall,  unnamed.  Mr. 
S.  T.  Dunn  afterwards  saw  the  plant,  named  it  stricta, 
and  included  it  in  his  “Alien  Flora”  (1906),  p.  130,  as 
occurring  on  the  shores  of  Windermere. — C.E.S.
