locality  mentioned  in  Townsend’s  “  Flora  of  Hants.” _ 
C.E.S.  Yes  ,  but  remarkably  slender.  In  Somerset  it  is 
as  a  rule,  much  more  robust. — E.S.M. 
(E.  silaifolia  Bieb.  Elstead,  Surrey,  v.c.  17,  June  15, 
1913.— W.  C.  Barton.  Rightly  named.— E.F.L.  &  E.S.M.’ 
Yes ;  a  rare  plant  in  the  county.— C.E.S.

Galium  Vaillantii  DC.  (Ref.  No.  3912).  Locally 
plentiful  m  cultivated  ground  near  Ashcott  Station,  N. 
Somerset,  v.c.  6,  Sept.  25,  1913.— Edward  S.  Marshall. 
(See  B.E.C.  Rept.,  1913,  pp.  471-2). 
Senecio  sylvaticus  L.,  var.  auriculatus  Meyer.  Round - 
stone,  W.  Galway,  Aug.  14,  1913.— W.  C.  Barton.  I  think 
this  is  var.  lividus  Sm.  (non  L.),  as  it  agrees  with  t.  2515 
in  Eng.  Bot.  Perhaps  auviculatus  Meyer  is  a  synonym. 
C.E.S.  If  vai.  auviculatus  Meyer  is  synonymous  with 
s;  Mvidu?  Sm.  {“  Engl.  FI.”  III.,  429),  I  think  this  plant  is 
lightly  named.  E.F.L.  I  suppose  so,  but  do  not  know 
the  variety.  It  seems  to  be  Smith’s  S.  lividus. — E.S.M. 
S.  Jacobcca  L.,  var.  discoideus  L.  Sandy  coast,  Dogs 
Bay,  near  Roundstone,  W.  Galway,  Aug.  14,  1913 _ W.  C. 
Barton.  Yes;  but  hardly  more  than  a  form. — E.S.M. 
This  rayless  form  is  very  persistent  in  Dog’s  Bay,  near 
Roundstone.  My  brother  and  I  gathered  it  there  in  1885, 
and  it  was  sent  by  him  to  the  older  B.E.C.  (Rept.  1885, 
p.  131)  under  the  name  S.  Jacobcea  L.,  var.  flosculosus

S.  paludosus  L.  Probable  origin,  Wicken  Fen,  Cambs. 
Cult.  Underdown,  Ledbury,  July  26,  1913.— S.  H.  Bickham. 
Beautiful  herbarium  specimens  of  this  rare  and  nearly 
extinct  British  plant,  not  at  all  spoilt  by  cultivation. 
Certainty  about  the  origin  is  desirable,  if  it  can  be 
obtained. — E.F.L.
