Spergularia  [diandra  Boiss.]  ,var.  atheniensis  (H.  &  S.). 
Ref.  No.  89.  Leree,  Guernsey,  Aug.  13,  1912.  This 
agrees  very  closely  with  the  authoritative  De  Heldreich 
“  Herbarium  Graecum  Normale,”  No.  590,  in  British 
Museum,  except  that  its  growth  is  rather  more  compact, 
and  it  is  less  densely  and  coarsely  glandular-hairy.  I  have 
since  seen  an  apparently  identical  plant  from  Par,  Cornwall, 
collected  by  Dr.  Vigurs,  and  Mr.  Druce  tells  me  he  has  it 
from  Aldeburgh  sands,  Suffolk.  (See  also  B.E.C.  Report, 
1912,  p.  238—9) — W.  C.  Barton.  Correct _ C.E.S. 
S,  salina  Presl,  var.  neglecta  (Syme).  (1)  Leree, 
Guernsey,  Aug.  13,  1912.  (Ref.  No.  41).  Growing  within 
a  few  yards  of  my  Ref.  No.  39,  from  which  it  differs  in 
growth,  size  of  flower,  fruit  and  seed,  and  in  length  of 
pedicel ;  it  is  less  glandular-hairy,  the  leaves  are  scarcely 
‘mucronulate  and  the  cymes  are  leafy.  Mr.  Druce  at  first 
passed  it  as  S.  atheniensis,  but  agrees  now  that  it  cannot 
be  put  there.  I  see  no  place  for  it  at  present  but  under 
S.  salina  Presl,  var.  neglecta  (Kindb.),  as  seeds  are  papillate 
and  cymes  leafy,  but  it  is  very  distinct  from  specimens  of 
that  plant  I  gathered  on  Lihou  Is.  a  mile  away,  and  may 
prove  to  deserve  a  name.  Indeed  the  forms  grouped  under 
S.  salina  seem  to  me  to  need  further  study  and  possibly 
revision.  (See  also  B.E.C.  Report,  1912,  p.  238—9).— 
W.  C.  Barton.  My  specimen  is  too  fragmentary  to  name _ 
C.E.S.  This  has  a  great  look  of  S.  salina  Presl,  var.  neglecta 
(Syme),  =  Lepigonum  neglectum  Kindb. ;  I  have  little 
doubt  that  this  is  right  ;  but  no  ripe  seed  is  present  on 
my  one  small  plant.— E.S.M.  (2)  Edge  of  pool,  Lihou  Island, 
Guernsey,  Aug.  13,  1912.— W.  C.  Barton.  The  seed  character 
brings  this  under  neglecta  Syme,  but  our  Spergularias 
badly  want  revision — C.E.S.  No ;  Lepigonum  neglectum 
Kindb.  is  glandular,  with  papillose  seeds.  Mr.  Barton’s 
specimens  are  quite  glabrous  ;  their  seeds  (none  winged) 
are  smooth,  and,  as  far  as  I  can  see,  they  have  no  thickened 
border.  The  capsule  considerably  exceeds  the  calyx  ;  so 
they  can  hardly  be  L.  medium  Fr.— E.S.M.  Both  Mr. 
Salmon  and  Mr.  Marshall  said  subsequently  that  they
