In  plenty  on  the  sandy  coast,  this  small-flowered  form  was 
growing  only  in  rosettes  up  to  12-in.  diameter.  I  saw  no 
plants  developing  long  straggling  branches  as  on  Lihou  Is. 
(my  No.  31),  and  on  Headon  Hill  (my  No.  32) _ W.  C.  Barton. 
This  is  our  usual  small  form  of  barren  sandy  ground 
(heaths,  etc.),  which  I  suppose  to  come  under  type  (=  a 
vulgatum  Syme).  The  species  is,  as  a  rule,  more  or  less 
glandular — E.S.M.  (3)  Headon  Hill,  I.  of  Wight,  v.c.  10

E.  moschatum  L’Herit.,  var.  (Ref.  No.  38).  Sandy 
Coast,  Grand  Havre,  Guernsey,  Aug.  21,  1912.  I  have  not 
seen  an  authentic  specimen  of  var.  minor,  Rouy  &  Foucaud, 
but  my  No.  38  agrees  well  with  their  description  and  seems 
probable  from  the  habitat.  I  quote  from  Rouy  &  Foucaud: 
“  var.  minor ,  Nob.  Plante  de  8-1 2cm.  tres  reduite  dans 
toutes  ses  parties ;  feuilles  a  segments  petits  (3-4  fois  plus 
petits  que  dans  le  type),  ordinairement  profondement 
incises  ou  subpinnatifides  ;  pedoncules  2-4  flores,  plus 
courts  que  la  feuille ;  bee  du  fruit  bien  plus  grele,  mais  de 
meme  longueur.  Ca  et  la  dans  les  pelouses  maritimes 
rases.”  The  variety  or  form  is  frequent  along  the  sandy 
coast  from  Grand  Havre  to  Leree.  Mr.  Marquand  told  me 
that,  so  far  as  he  knew,  it  had  been  passed  over  as  a  dwarf 
form  of  Erodium  cicutarium ,  of  which  also  I  send  specimens 
(my  No.  36).  In  British  Museum  there  is  a  similar  plant 
collected  by  Mr.  Marshall  (No.  2924,  April  1,  1905,  on 
limestone  rocks,  Purn  Hill,  Bleadon),  on  which  he  remarks, 
“  very  glandular,  not  musk  scented,  stamens  (apparently) 
not  bidentate  at  base.” — W.  C.  Barton.  From  the  broad 
stipules  and  other  characters,  this  seems  to  be  referable  to 
E.  moschatum,  though  the  two  specimens  before  me  are 
rather  far  advanced.  If  so,  it  is  extreme  /3  minor  Rouy
