This  identification  is  undoubtedly  correct,  as  the  specimen 
agrees  absolutely  with  authentic  seedlings  of  the  same 
size  of  P.  Pinaster.  It  has  the  same  buds  (remains  of 
old  bud  are  visible  at  base  of  current  year’s  shoot  on  the 
main  stem)  and  same  position  of  the  resin-canals  in  the 
leaves.  The  number  and  position  of  the  resin-canals  in 
the  pines  is  characteristic  of  each  species  as  a  rule _

My  specimen  is  badly  dried.  It  looks  much  more  like 
violacea  than  media ,  but  with  such  material  it  is  guess 
work — C.E.S.  I  think  that  this  is  H.  violacea  Druce. _

Tulipa  sylvestris  L.  Origin :  Stansfield,  Suffolk. 
Cult.  Crofton,  Hitchin,  1910-12.  In  the  Avild  station 
from  which  my  bulbs  were  taken  there  were  thousands  of 
plants  thickly  massed  together,  but  not  1  per  cent,  produced 
a  flower.  Some  years  ago  the  occupier  of  the  land  sent 
bulbs  up  to  the  Royal  Horticultural  Society.  The  flower 
has  a  s\\Teet  scent.  Of  the  bulbs  transplanted  to  my 
garden  only  a  few  have  ever  flowered,  so  that  it  has  taken 
some  years  to  obtain  even  these  few  specimens _ J.  E.

of  sandstone  lining  the  canal ;  an  unusual  station  for  the 
species.  Aug.  1913. — Coll.  G.  A.  Holt.  Comm.  Charles
