sheet  is  mixed ;  three  specimens  are  S.  gracillima  Moss, 
the  other  is  S.  lignosa  Woods. — E.S.M.  Of  the  four 
specimens  sent  to  me,  one  is  a  branch  of  S.  perennis 
Miller,  doubtless  included  in  error.  The  other  three  are 
probably  correctly  named. — C.E.M. 
S.  [procumbens  Sm.] .  N.  Hay  ling  I.,  Hants.,  v.c.  11, 
Sept.  12,  1914. — R.  S.  Standen.  Not  S.  procumbens  Sm., 
and  not  quite  S.  procumbens  auct.  angl.  olim ;  but  rather  S. 
prostrata,  var.  appressa  Moss  &  Salisbury  (—  S.  cippressa 
Dum.). — C.E.M. 
S.  lignosa  Woods.  N.  Hayling  I.,  Hants.,  v.c.  11, 
Sept.  12,  1914. — R.  S.  Standen.  Yes.  I  reduced  this  to 
a  variety  of  S.  perennis  Mill.,  as  the  characters  which 
distinguish  it  from  its  nearest  ally  are  rather  slight. 
(See  “  Cambr.  Brit.  El.”  Vol.  II.).— C.E.M. 
S.  disarticulata  Moss.  (D  N.  Hayling  I.,  Hants., 
v.c.  11,  Sept.  12,  1914.  Growing  in  great  abundance  on 
the  northern  side  of  the  Island,  over  a  small  area. 
Uniformly  1 -flowered,  I  believe.  A  few  much  larger 
specimens,  about  nine  inches  high,  grew  close  by,  with 
1 — 8  flowers;  these  may  have  been  hybrids  with  ramosis- 
sima. — C.  E.  Salmon.  Yes  ;  small  neat  plants. — C.E.M. 
(2)  From  the  same  station,  Sept.  12,  1914. — R.  S.  Standen. 
Yes  ;  fine  plants.— C.E.M. 
S.  dolichostachya  Moss.  Coast,  S.W.  of  Emsworth, 
Hants.,  v.c.  11,  Sept.  10,  1914. — R.  S.  Standen.  Yes  ; 
small  plants.  The  form  which  originally  attracted  my 
attention  was  very  much  larger  than  this.  Whether  this 
smaller  form,  which  I  know  also  on  the  Norfolk  coast,  is 
a  mere  state  or  a  definite  variety,  I  am  unable  at  present 
to  say. — C.E.M. 
Polygonum  Convolvulus  L.,  var.  subalatum  V.  Hall. 
Weed  in  Rectory  garden,  Grey  Abbey,  Co.  Down,  Sept. 
1914.  It  seems  to  be  the  common  form  here ;  leaves 
longer  and  narrower  than  in  the  type. — C.  H.  Waddell. 
Yes,  this  is  var.  subalatum  Lejeune  &  Courtois  Comp.  FI. 
Belg.  II.  59  (1881),  which  is  an  earlier  name  for  var. 
pseudo -dumetorum  H.  C.  Wats.  It  is  the  P.  Convolvulus 
L.  p.  of  Bromfield’s  “FI.  Vect.”,  p.  485  (1856),  and  is 
mentioned  in  the  “  Phytologist,”  III.,  p.  765  (1848). —
