Rept.  1913,  p.  449). 
J.  bulbosus  L.,  var.  ftuitans  (Lam.).  Errisbeg,  near 
Roundstone,  W.  Galway  (alt.  600  feet),  Aug.  13,  1913 _ 
W.  C.  Barton.  This  is  a  more  or  less  viviparous  state, 
and  not  a  good  variety — E.S.M.  I  should  have  said  not 
the  variety,  but  a  viviparous  state.  Fries  is  given  as  the 
authority,  in  Rouy’s  “  FI.  Fr.”  for  this  variety,  and  his 
description  is  as  follows  (“Novit.  FI.  Suec.”  1828, 
p.  92)  “  variabilis,  caule  elongato  ramosissimo  fluitante 
(folia  saepius  ut  in  (3  [ uliginosus ] ,  verum  in  amnibus 
rapacioribus  in  fundo  crescit  forma  numquam  florens, 
densissime  caespitosa,  foliis  longissimis  capillaceis,  saepe 
rubentibus).” — C.E.S. 
J.  biglumis  L.  Creag  Mhor,  near  Fortingal  (at 
about  2700  feet  alt.),  Mid  Perthshire,  v.c.  88,  July 
18,  1913.  Remarkably  abundant  over  a  small  area. — 
C.  E.  Salmon. 
Sparganium  ramosum.  Huds.  A  deep-water  form 
growing  at  one  spot  in  the  Gloucester  and  Berkeley  Canal, 
where  it  is  crossed  by  the  branch  line  of  the  Midland 
Railway  Co.,  W.  Glos.,  v.c.  34.  In  this  station  the 
water  of  the  canal  is  tepid  and  probably  derives  its  heat 
from  a  neighbouring  chemical  works.  The  locality  was 
discovered  by  Mr.  Charles  Upton,  of  Gloucester,  and  the 
plants  now  sent  were  collected  by  the  Rev.  Walter  Butt 
and  myself  on  the  7th  July,  1913.  The  ordinary  erect 
form  of  the  plant  is  frequent  on  the  margin  of  the  same 
canal  — Charles  Bailey. 
S.  affine  Schnizl.  Higher  Scarth  Tarn,  Lancs.,  Sept. 
1913 — Coll.  W.  H.  Pearsall.  Comm.  A.  Bennett. 
Potamogeton  pusillus  L.  The  Lake,  Southill  Park, 
Beds.,  v.c.  30,  June  27  and  July  12,  1913 _ J.  E.  Little. 
My  example  is  only  in  flower.  I  should  much  like  to  see 
it  in  fruit.  The  leaf  apex  reminds  one  of  P.  rutilus _ 
C.E.S.  This  seems  to  answer  to  the  P.  pusillus  L.,  var. 
tenuissimus  Mert.  &  Koch,  f.  angustifolius  Fischer _ A.B. 
P.  pectinatus  L.  The  Lake,  Southill,  Beds.,  v.c.  30, 
June  27,  and  July  12,  1913. — J.  E.  Little.  Yes,  the  typical 
plant  of  Linnaeus. — A.B.
