Binncea  borealis  L.  Glenlivet,  Banffsh.,  v.c.  94,  July 
27,  1914.— Sent  by  Mr.  Macgregor  Skene,  an  old  member 
of  the  Club.  Unfortunately  the  flowers  had  fallen  before 
the  specimens  reached  me. — S.  H.  Bickham. 
Galium  Mollugo  L.,  var.  Baker.i  Syme.  (1)  Ref. 
No.  4038.  In  profusion  on  the  railway  embankments  of 
the  Great  Western  mam  line,  near  Kingweston,  N. 
Somerset,  v.c.  6,  June  11,  1914.  This  variety  comes  into 
flower  about  the  same  time  as  G.  erectum  Huds.,  two  to 
three  weeks  earlier  than  the  type. — E.  S.  Marshall.  This 
variety  was  described  by  Syme,  from  plants  coming  from 
Cleves,  which  is  near  Gormire,  which  is  near  Thirsk  in 
Yorkshire.  There  is  authentic  material  at  S.  Kensington. 
Mr.  Marshall’s  specimens  agree  in  the  shape  of  the 
leaves,  but  the  flowers  are  smaller  than  in  the  Cleves 
plant,  but  Syme  did  not  mention  in  his  original  description 
that  the  flowers  are  decidedly  large. — E.G.B.  (2)  Cliff 
tops,  Milford-on-Sea,  S.  Hants.,  v.c.  11,  Aug.  1914. — J. 
Comber.  Not  Syme’s  var.  Bakeri.  I  think  this  is  a 
reduced  form  of  G.  erectum ,  and  not  Mollugo  at  all. — A.B. 
Variety  Bakeri  is  described  as  having  linear  leaves.  The 
extreme  form,  with  all  the  leaves  linear,  I  have  not  seen : 
does  it  exist? — E.F.L.  The  type  of  var.  Bakeri  Syme 
from  Cleves  has  much  larger  flowers  and  a  laxer  in¬ 
florescence.  This  plant  from  Milford  must  be -very  closely 
allied  to  G.  Mollugo  L.,  forma  angusti folium,  Leers’  Flora 
Herbornensis,  p.  115  (1775), — E.G.B.
