Hartman,  Skand.  Flora ,  ed.  1  [1820] ).  No.  3566  is 
apparently  B.  pubescens ,  var.  Friesii  Regel  =  B.  glutinosa 
Fries,  Herb.  Norm,  (an  Wallroth?).  It  is  northern  or 
alpine  in  its  distribution,  and  probably  common  in  Scot¬ 
land.  (See  also  B.E.C.  Kept,,  1911,  p.  128).— E.  S.  Marshall. 
B.  pubescens  Ehrh.,  var.  parvifolia  Regel.  (Ref.  No. 
8562).  Birch-wood  on  the  road  to  Dalwbinnie,  about  a 
mile  south  of  Laggan  Bridge,  E.  Inverness,  v.c.  96,  at  800 
feet,  July  26,  1911.  Another  form,  with  foliage  very  like 
this,  but  stouter  catkins,  occurred  with  it.  These  appear 
to  be  a  good  form  of  B.  pubescens  Ehrh.,  var.  parvifolia 
Regel,  excluding  the  citation  of  B.  carpatica,  j3  sudetica 
Reichb.  in  Reichenbach’s  “  leones.”— E.  S.  Marshall. 
B.  nana  L.  Uisge  Geal,  near  Dalwhinnie,  E.  Inver¬ 
ness,  v.c.  96,  July  28,  1911.  Apparently  scarce  in  the 
district,  as  we  saw  it  nowhere  else ;  it  grew  at  an  altitude 
between  1600  and  2200  feet,  and  fruited  freely  along  the 
upper  part  of  the  stream.— Edward  S.  Marshall. 
Quercus  Ilex  L.  Perranarworthal,  W.  Cornwall,  v.c. 
1,  June  10  and  Oct.  2,  1911.  Two  or  three  trees  on  the 
shore  of  the  creek  between  Perranwharf  and  Devoran. 
From  the  tree  from  which  the  specimens  now  being  distri¬ 
buted  were  gathered  acorns  and  male  and  female  flowers 
were  sent  to  Mr.  Hunnybun  to  prepare  drawings  for  the 
new  Cambridge  Flora _ F.  H.  Davey. 
Salix  aurita  x  cinerea  ( lutescens  A.  Kern).  Newick, 
E.  Sussex,  v.c.  14,  June  1,  1911 _ R.  S.  Standen.  My  speci¬ 
men  is  very  characteristic  S.  aurita  ;  I  do  not  see  any  trace 
of  S.  cinerea  in  it. — E.S.M.  The  two  pieces  on  my  sheet 
appear  to  be  from  different  bushes,  the  leaves  and  stipules 
differ.  They  are,  I  think,  rightly  named,  but  are  both  more 
than  usually  on  the  S.  aurita  side _ E.F.L. 
S.  Smithiana  Willd.,  var.  ferruginea  Anders.  Long 
Ashton  Brook,  N.  Somerset,  v.c.  6,  catkins  April  3,  foliage 
July  17,  1911.  This  form  may  not  be  worthy  of  distinction, 
but  it  differs  from  rugosa  in  the  width  of  the  leaves  and 
the  rugosity  of  their  under  surfaces.- — Ida  M.  Roper.  As 
S.  Smithiana  Willd.  is  now  generally  agreed  to  be  a  hybrid, 
there  is  no  good  reason  for  using  the  name  in  a  specific 
sense.  I  do  not  know  S.  ferruginea  Andersson ;  but  the
