var.  glabrescens  Asch.  &  Graebn.  Further  search  in  the 
same  locality  will  probably  reveal  V.  epipsila ,  type.”  Of 
one  plant  she  adds :  “  This  plant  compares  well  with 
specimens  in  my  herbarium  of  V.  ejnpsila,  var.  glabrescens 
Asch.  &  Graebn.  There  are  hairs  on  parts  of  the  stolons 
and  on  petiole  of  one  leaf.” — J.  E.  Little. 
V.  Riviniana  Reichb.  Harmer  Green  Wood,  Welwyn, 
Herts.,  v.c.  20,  April  12,  1912. — J.  E.  Little.  V.  Riviniana. 
A  tendency,  in  habit,  towards  /.  nemorosa  Neum.  The 
colour  of  spur  goes  in  drying. — E.S.G. 
V.  Riviniana  Reichb.,  var.  diver sa  E.  S.  Gregory. 
Clophill,  Beds.,  v.c.  30,  April  25,  1914.  Spur  pale,  not 
(or  slightly)  yellow,  channelled  below,  and  at  extremity. 
Stipules  coarsely  glandular-f  ringed.  FI.  slaty-blue. 
Lower  petal  with  dark  lines  on  a  pale  ground. — J.  E. 
Little.  Correct. — E.S.G. 
V.  canina  L.,  var.  ericetorum  Reichb.  Colney  Heath, 
Herts.,  v.c.  20,  May  19,  1913. — J.  E.  Little.  From  the 
sparsely  toothed  upper  stipules  and  blunt  apices  to  most 
of  the  leaves,  I  take  these  specimens  to  belong  to  var. 
ericetorum  of  V.  canina.  A  capsule  or  two  would  be 
helpful.  One  sees  in  these  Colney  Heath  violets  ho\v 
nearly,  in  some  of  its  stages,  V.  Riviniana ,  var.  diver  sa 
approaches  V.  canina ,  var.  ericetorum.  I  should  say  that 
both  of  the  varieties  occur  in  the  habitat ;  therefore 
great  care  is  necessary  in  separating  them.  Needless  to 
say,  I  did  not  see  all  the  plants  distributed,  and  mistakes 
may  have  been  possible.  Should  any  members  of  the  club 
care  for  my  further  opinion  on  any  of  the  sheets,  they 
are  most  welcome  to  it. — E.S.G. 
V.  lactea  x  Riviniana.  (Ref.  No.  3535).  Root  from 
a  heath  by  Crowcombe  Station,  S.  Somerset,  v.c.  5.  It 
grew  with  the  parents,  and  is  a  very  good  intermediate, 
just  like  Mr.  W.  A.  Shoolbred’s  hybrid  from  Tidenham 
Chase,  W.  Glos.  No  capsules  are  produced,  though  it 
flowers  freely.  Grown  in  garden,  West  Monkton,  May  18, 
1914. — Edward  S.  Marshall.  I  agree. — E.S.G. 
V.  arvensis  Murr.  [forma  segetalis  (Jord.)] .  Cornfield, 
Pill,  N.  Somerset,  v.c.  6,  July  14,  1914. — Ida  M.  Roper. 
The  plants  with  widely  divergent  petioles  are  V.  arvatica.
