Polygonum - ,  var.  vel  hybr.  nov.  ad  Angl.  Trodden 
cindery  ground,  Poole,  Dorset,  v.c.  9,  Oct.  5  and  9,  1911. 
Dr.  Moss,  who  was  with  me  when  we  found  this  little 
novelty,  will  shortly  describe  it.  Having  the  small  fruit 
of  P.  microspermum  Jordan,  it  seemed  to  me  at  first  allied 
to  that  plant.  By  the  leaves  and  habit  it  is  nearer  P. 
arenastrum ,  with  which  it  was  associated _ E.  F.  Linton. 
A  small  form  of  Boreau’s  plant. — A.B.  I  think  that  this 
pretty  little  plant  is  rightly  placed  as  a  variety,  or  form,  of 
P.  arenastrum.  I  have  two  gatherings  tending  towards 
it,  in  their  small  fruit  and  foliage,  though  they  are  more 
luxuriant  and  less  extreme,  found  near  Hothfield,  E.  Kent, 
in  September,  1891,  and  on  the  sandy  coast  near  Dunster, 
S.  Somerset  (with  P.  Raii  Bab.),  in  September,  1906 _ 
E.S.M.  The  relationship  of  this  plant  to  P.  calcatum 
Lindman  Rot.  Notiser  139  (1904),  has  to  be  considered. 
Last  September  I  found  this  species  (new  to  the  British 
Isles)  on  Arthur’s  Seat,  near  Edinburgh.  It  has  a  fruit 
which  is  sub-bifacial  and  not  trigonous,  and  which  has 
convex  and  not  concave  faces.  Professor  Lindman,  after 
seeing  my  specimens,  writes “  Your  plant  is  indeed  P. 
calcatum.”- — C.E.M. 
Rumex  crispus  L.  [var.  elongatus  (Guss.)] .  Bank  of 
R.  Wye,  Tintern,  Monmouthsh.,  v.c.  35,  July  28,  1911 _ 
Coll.  W.  Butt.  Comm.  S.  H.  Bickham.  Some  of  the  fruits 
on  my  sheet  contain  3  tubercles  (I  understand  this  is  often 
a  variable  character),  and  there  are  frequently  weak  teeth 
on  the  enlarged  petals,  which  are  too  linear  to  be  described 
as  cordate-ovate.  Perhaps  Gussone’s  original  description, 
“valvulis  cordato-ovatis  integerrimis  reticulatis  unica 
granifera . ”  must  not  be  taken  too  literally,  if  this 
really  is  his  plant — C.E.S.  This  is  no  doubt  R.  crispus 
forma,  but  not  the  plant  of  Gussone _ A.B. 
Ulmus  glabra  Huds.  ( ==  U.  montana  Stokes).  In  a 
field  by  the  Church,  Edmondsham,  Dorset,  v.c.  9,  April  15, 
May  1,  and  Aug.  7,  1911.  Gathered,  since  the  late  Rev.  A. 
Ley  suggested  it  might  be  U.  nitida,  but  Dr.  Moss  and  I  see 
only  U.  glabra  Huds.  in  it.  As  there  has  been  so  much 
rearranging  of  the  Elms,  members  may  like  to  have  typical
