Cratcegus  monogyna  Jacq.,  var.  kyrtostyla  (Fingerh.). 
Reigate  Hill,  Surrey,  v.c.  17,  Aug.  14,  1914. — A.  J.  Crosfield. 
Right,  I  think.  The  varietal  name  is  kyrtostyla  Beck, 
“  Ann.  K.  K.  Hofmns.  Wien,”  II.  96  (1887),  according  to 
Ascherson  &  Graebner. — E.S.M.  Correct. — A.B. 
Sedum  Forsterianum  Sm.,  type  (a.  virescens  Wats.). 
(Ref.  No.  4034).  Root  from  Culbone  Woods,  S.  Somerset, 
v.c.  5  ;  flowered  at  West  Monkton,  June  24,  1914.  Though 
slightly  increased  in  size,  this  maintains  its  habit  and 
green  root-leaves.  —  E.  S.  Marshall. 
S.  Forsterianum  Sm.,  var.  glaucescens  Wats.  (Ref. 
No.  4035).  Root  from  coast  slopes  above  Greenaleigh, 
near  Minehead,  S.  Somerset,  v.c.  5.  Cult,  garden,  West 
Monkton,  June  27,  1914.  This  was  referred  by  Rev.  R.  P. 
Murray  to  S.  rupestre  L.;  but  Rev.  A.  Ley  and  I  considered 
it  to  be  better  placed  under  the  present  species,  and  it) 
keeps  distinct  from  the  Cheddar  S.  rupestre ,  under 
cultivation,  though  closely  allied  to  it.  Much  enlarged 
by  garden  growth;  thus  resembling  the  more  luxuriant 
wild  specimens  on  the  cliffs  below.  The  root-leaves  are 
decidedly  glaucous ;  and  it  is  much  more  robust  than  the 
type  (No.  4034),  under  similar  conditions. — E.  S.  Marshall. 
Carum  segetum  Benth.  &  Hook.  fll.  Early  leaves. 
Willbury  Hill,  Hitchin,  Herts.,  v.c.  20,  June  5,  1913,  Nov. 
7,  1913,  and  Mar.  28,  1914.  The  section  of  the  petiole 
above  the  lowest  pinnae  is  like  that  of  a  quarter  moon, 
as  compared  with  that  of  Pastinaca  sativa,  which  is 
reniform.  There  is  some  general  resemblance  in  the 
leaves  of  the  two  plants,  though  the  pin  me  of  the  former 
are  more  acute  and  more  numerous  than  in  the  latter. 
By  following  up  the  leaves  in  clover  and  sainfoin  fields 
in  the  autumn  and  spring,  I  find  that,  far  from  being  a 
rare  plant  in  this  district  as  is  stated  in  Pryor’s  “Flora  of 
Herts.”,  it  is  now  at  any  rate  very  generally  distributed, 
occurring  sometimes  in  great  quantity  on  cultivated 
ground,  and  sometimes  on  roadside  waste  and  on  hedge- 
banks.  In  one  locality  recorded  by  Coleman  it  has 
persisted  at  least  60  years.— J.  E.  Little. 
Pimpinella  Saxifraga  L.,  var.  dissecta  With.  (Ref. 
No.  9J).  Avebury  Down,  N.  Wilts.,  v.c.  7,  Aug.  5,  1913.
