“C.  album  var.  leptophyllum  Nuttall”  is  also  incorrect. 
The  plant  is  very  closely  allied  to  the  European  forms  of 
C.  album,  and  is  no  species _ C.E.M. 
C.  hybridum  L.  Cultivated  ground,  Swading  Hill, 
Sandy,  Beds.,  v.c.  80,  Oct.  19,  1912.  Sent  chiefly  for  the 
seeds _ J.  E.  Little.  Evidently  a  ‘ forma  aprica  ’  (leaves 
reduced  in  size,  and  beautifully  coloured  with  purple) ;  I 
never  saw  this  state  before — E.S.M.  An  interesting 
colour-form  unknown  to  me.  Cf.  C.  hybridum,  var.  Paeskii 
[after  Fritz  Paeske]  Ascherson  and  Graebner  “FI.  nordostd. 
Flachl.”  279  (1898),  known  up  to  the  present  only  in  the 
province  of  Brandenburg,  Germany — C.E.M. 
C.  botryodes  Sm.  Lihou  Island,  Guernsey,  Aug.  18, 
1912.  The  small  specimens  growing  upright  in  shallow 
water  at  the  edge  of  the  pool ;  the  larger  on  the  shingle 
near.  Some  of  the  finest  procumbent  on  shingle  reached 
24-in.  diameter,  but  unfortunately  all  I  gathered  were 
spoilt  before  they  reached  England — W.  C.  Barton.  Typical.

Atriplex  littoralis  L.,  var.  marina  L.  Ler6e,  Guernsey, 
Aug.  13,  1912 _ W.  C.  Barton.  Very  well  marked  specimens 
of  the  variety _ E.S.M. 
A.  [deltoideaB&b.^&v.salinaB&b.] .  In  brackish  ditches, 
near  Mont  Cuet,  Guernsey,  Aug.  10,  1912.  These  young 
plants  show  well  the  mode  of  growth  which  distinguishes 
the  variety _ W.  C.  Barton.  Far  too  immature  to  name 
confidently ;  but  I  believe  it  to  be  a  form  of  A.  patula  L — 
E.S.M.  This  is  the  salt-ground  state  of  common  A. 
hastata,  var.  genuina.  Synonyms  are  A.  deltoidea,  var. 
triangularis  Bab.  Man.  ed.  3  (  =  var .salina  of  later  editions). 
One  plant  sent  is  quite  typical,  the  other  is  immature  and 
is  a  form  in  which  the  majority  of  the  leaf  laminae  are 
ovate  and  elongated,  only  a  few  having  lateral  angles  and  a 
subcuneate  base.  The  form  has  often  been  named  A. 
patula,  which  it  certainly  is  not,  though  it  may  be  a  hybrid 
segregate  of  crossing  (which  is  extremely  common  in  this 
genus)  between  A.  patula  and  A.  hastata,  var.  genuina,  f. 
salina,  these  being  often  found  together — A.J.W.
