Banks  of  Loch  Earn,  W.  Perthsh.,  v.c.  87,  Sept.,  1911 _ 
Mc.T.  Cowan,  jun.  Correct.  I  suppose  there  is  some  valid 
reason  why  M.  varia  Schrank,  Baier.  FI.,  p.  336  (1789), 
should  not  be  used  ?— A.B.

P.  nemoralis  L.,  var.  Perranarworthal,  W.  Cornwall, 
v.c.  1,  June  6,  1911 _ F.  H.  Davey.  Rather  weak  type,  I 
believe. — E.S.M.  This  does  not  seem  to  agree  with  any 
British  variety  in  our  books _ A.B.  P.  nemoralis  L.,  var. 
vulgaris  Gaud.,  forma  color ata.  This  is  not  a  published 
name,  and  tends  only  to  state  the  fact  that  the  spikelets 
of  P.  nemoralis  vulgaris ,  which  are  pale  green  in  shady 
places,  become  more  or  less  coloured  with  violet,  and  often 
somewhat  yellowish-brown  if  the  plant  grows  in  sunny 
spots.  All  grades  of  intermediates  exist  between  the  two 
forms,  mostly  dependent  on  the  degree  of  insolation. 
Another  effect  of  the  insolation  is  a  more  vigorous  develop¬ 
ment  of  the  spikelets,  which  are  mostly  2 -flowered  in  the 
shade,  3-flowered  (or  more)  in  the  sun _ E.  Hackel.

Compton  Greenfield,  W.  Glos.,  v.c.  34,  June  10,  1911 _ Ida

will  appear  in  the  next  Report _ G.  G.
