the  original  station,  where  Mr.  E.  G.  Baker  obtained  the 
specimens,  on  which  his  paper  (Journ.  Bot.  1897,  p.  257) 
was  based — E.  F.  Linton.  [Later]  .  This  was  the  only 
form  of  P.  Coronopus  on  the  coast  at  Charmouth.  I 
believe  that  the  extremely  dry  season  so  reduced  the 
•leaves  in  length  and  breadth  that  the  specimens  have 
lost  much  of  their  varietal  appearance,  and  so  are  not 
recognised  as  the  same  plant  Mr.  Baker  found  and  wrote 
about — E.F.L.  Leaves  far  narrower  than  in  the  usual 
form ;  but  I  suppose  that  it  may  pass.  Mr.  E.  G.  Baker 
tells  me  that  Dr.  F.  N.  Williams’s  identifications  of  var. 
ceratophyllon  Rapin  with  P.  macrorrhiza  Poir.  cannot 
stand — E.S.M.  This  is  not  var.  ceratophyllon  Rapin, 
which  has  much  broader  and  longer  leaves.  It  appears 
to  us  to  be  between  the  type  and  var.  maritima _ R.M.C. 
&  E.G.B.  Mr.  Baker  wrote  later,  “  Var.  ceratophyllon 
Rapin  is  a  plant  with  a  broad  rachis  to  the  leaf,  and  a 
trilocular  capsule,  2  or  3  seeded  (see  Jl.  Bot.  XXXV., 
t.  371).  Before  expressing  an  opinion  on  the  merits  or 
demerits  of  this  variety  it  ought  to  be  cultivated  in 
various  situations  and  under  as  many  different  conditions 
as  possible.  Mr.  J .  A.  Wheldon,  who  knows  the  plant  at 
Blackpool,  is  inclined  to  consider  it  ought  to  be  separated 
from  P.  Coronopus  L.”

C.  [ urbicum  L.] .  (1)  Brickfield  at  East  Grinstead,  E. 
Sussex,  v.c.  14,  Aug.  16,  1911.— R.  S.  Standen.  When  I 
saw  this  in  the  young  state  I  thought  it  likely  to  be 
C.  urbicum,  and  let  Mr.  Standen  know  of  the  station. 
Maturer  specimens  sent  me  later  proved  to  be  all  C. 
rubrum — E.F.L.  This  is  C.  rubrum,  var.  blitoides  Wal- 
lroth  Sched.  Crit.,  507  (1822) ;  but  it  would  have  been 
more  easy  to  identify  had  there  been  accompanying  speci¬ 
mens  with  ripe  seeds.— C.E.M.  (2)  From  same  locality, 
Aug.  29,  1911 — E.  F.  Linton.
