Euonymus  europceus  L.,  form  with  white  fruit. 
Bank  of  stream,  Crox  Bottom,  Bishopsworth,  N.  Somerset, 
v.c.  6,  October  28,  1913  (See  “  Journ.  Bot.”  vol.  50,  p.  377)!

Ulex  europceus  L.,  seedlings.  Heathy  ground,  Bos- 
combe,  S.  Hants.,  y.c.  11,  April  26,  1913.— Ida  M.  Roper. 
Lotus  uliginosus  Schkuhr.,  var.  glabriusculus  Bab. 
Kenwards,  Lindfield,  E.  Sussex,  v.c.  14,  July  21,  1913. _ 
R.  S.  Standen.  This  agrees  with  Rouy’s  description. — 
E.S.M.  I  suggested  this  name  to  Mr.  Standen,  but  did 
not  see  the  whole  of  the  gathering.  One  of  the  plants 
on  my  sheet  is  good  glabriusculus  ;  the  other  could 
scarcely  be  so  named. — C.E.S. 
Vicia  gracilis  Loisel.  Field  near  Hardwick,  Cambs. 
v.c.  29,  June  21,  1913. — A.  J.  Crosfield.  Very  typical  and 
clearly  showing  the  stouter  and  stiffer  habit  than  ’  that 
of  F.  tetrasperma  (F.  gemella  Crantz).  Also  the  larger 
and  more  numerous  flowers  (4,  5  and  even  6  on  these 
specimens)  on  longer  and  stronger  peduncles  which  are 
often  shortly  aristate.  The  leaflets  are  linear  acute , 
longer  and  stiffer  than  in  tetrasperma.  The  pods  have  5 
or  6  seeds,  but  sometimes  only  4.  The  hilum  of  the  seed 
is  oval.  “  The  length  of  the  hilum  appears  a  constant 
character  in  all  the  Vetches,”  as  Boswell  Syme  and  J.  W. 
White  have  remarked.  It  is  strange  that  Hooker  and 
Arnott  (1850)  considered  this  a  sub-species  of  tetrasperma , 
and  that  Sir  J.  D.  Hooker  (1884)  and  others  could  only 
make  a  variety  of  it.  When  once  seen  in  the  field  it 
cannot  be  mistaken. — H.S.T. 
F.  sylvatica  L.  (1)  Allt  Odhar,  Fortingal,  Mid 
Perthsh.,  v.c.  88  (at  700  feet),  July  26,  1913.  Luxuriant,  and 
m  beautiful  condition  ;  so  I  send  a  few  specimens,  though 
it  is  not  in  the  list  of  desiderata. — E.  S.  Marshall.  (2) 
Railway  cutting,  Sandsend,  N.E.  Yorks.,  v.c.  62,  Aug.  13, 
1913.— J.  E.  Little.  Both  show  well  the  remarkably 
subulate,  almost  capillary  calyx-teeth,  often  tipped  with 
black,  and  the  setaceous  teeth  of  the  stipules.  The 
leaflets  of  the  beautiful  Perthshire  plant  are  rather 
narrower,  in  my  specimen,  than  usual.  This  Vetch 
reaches  as  high  a  limit  as  any  in  the  Alps.  It  is  not
