best  under  R.  fuscus  Wh.  &  N.,  though  differing  from  type 
conspicuously  in  its  elongate  racemose  (or  subracemose) 
and  usually  nodding  panicle-top  which  takes  it  off  toivards 
my  var.  nutans  (see  the  interesting  notes  on  R.  Babingtonii 
and  R.  fuscus  in  Mr.  White’s  “  FI.  Bristol,”  (1912),  pp.  282- 
3,  and  Dr.  Focke’s  note  in  “Journ.  Bot.”  1890, p.  133).  I  have 
not  seen  anything  that  appears  to  me  identical  with  this 
Leigh  Woods  plant  from  any  other  locality,  though  I  have 
specimens  that  recall  it  from  West  Malvern  and  one  or 
two  other  places.  We  have  in  fact  a  series  of  forms  in  (1) 
type  fuscus  ;  (2)  this  Leigh  Woods  plant  ;  (3)  my  var. 
nutans ;  (4)  my  leptopetalus  and  (5)  R.  pallidus  Wh.  &  N.  ; 
all  more  or  less  connected  by  somewhat  intermediate 
plants — W.M.R. 
R.  glareosus  Rogers  &  Marshall  (“Journ.  Bot.”  1912, 
pp.  309-311,  374).  Tilford  to  Hindhead  (chiefly  in  Churt 
Parish),  Surrey,  v.c.  17  ;  fairly  frequent,  July  and  Aug.  1912. 
Mostly  in  partial  shade,  with  stems  rather  less  strongly 
angled  and  leaflets  less  deeply  incised  towards  the  point 
than  in  type  ;  but  always  constant  in  habit  and  distinctive 
characters — W.  Moyle  Rogers. 
R.  horridicaulis  P.  J.  Mu  ell.  St.  Leonard’s  Forest,  near 
Horsham,  W.  Sussex,  v.c.  13,  July  18, 1908 _ J.  W.  White.  All 
the  sheets  are  rightly  named  apparently,  but  they  are  not 
so  strongly  characteristic  as  the  Glamorgan  and  Brecon 
horridicaulis  usually  is,  nor  as  some  other  sheets  of  Mr. 
White’s  that  I  have  seen,  from  the  same  locality.  Usually 
the  terminal  leaflet  is  remarkably  subrotund -truncate- 
cuspidate  and  the  panicle  broadly  cylindrical  in  the  ultra- 
axillary  part  ;  but  in  these  specimens,  gathered  rather 
early  in  July,  these  features  are  not  well  developed _

R.  Koehleri  Wh.  &  N.,  var.  cognatus  (N.  E.  Brown). 
Between  Tilford  and  Hindhead,  locally  abundant  on  the 
borders  of  Heaths  and  Commons,  Surrey,  v.c.  17,  July  24- 
26,  1912.  Strong  and  very  leafy  plants,  with  long  nearly 
prostrate  stems  and  showy  leaves  which  are  incurved, 
and  bright  dark  green  above,  with  remarkably  open 
compound  serration.  Petals  apparently  always  white.—
