P.  aviculare  L.,  var.  cequale  Lindman.  Shore,  S.W. 
of  Emsworth,  Hants.,  v.c.  11,  Sept.  10,  1914. — R.  S. 
Standen.  Yes.  I  think  this  is  what  we  call  var. 
arenastrum  (Bor.) . — E.S.M. 
Urtica  dioica  L.,  [var.  micropliylla  Hausm.] .  Quorn, 
Leics.,  v.c.  55,  July  81  and  Aug.  8,  1905. — Coll.  F.  L. 
Foord-Kelcey.  Comm.  A.  R.  Horwood.  The  late  Mrs. 
Foord-Kelcey  did  not  consider — and  I  agreed  with  her — 
that  these  specimens  should  go  under  var.  angustifolia. 
Both  that  and  the  var.  microphylla  are  shade-lovers,  and 
doubtless  the  two  may  be  regarded  as  merely  ombriphilous 
states. — A.R.H.  I  do  not  think  this  is  the  var.  micro¬ 
phylla  of  the  44  FI.  Tirol,  II.,  771  (1852).”  A  specimen 
from  Baron  Hausmann,  which  I  gave  to  the  late  Mr. 
C.  B.  Clarke  of  Kew,  had  a  distinct  look  and  habit ;  this 
looks  like  a  reduced  dioica.  It  may  be  var.  angustifolia 
Wimm.  &  Grab.  FI.  Sil.  1827-9.— A.B.  This  is  Urtica 
dioica  L.,  the  common  stinging  nettle — a  rather  small¬ 
leaved  state. — C.E.M. 
Parietaria  ramiflora  Moench.,  var.  Little  Ormes 
Head,  Carnarvonsh.,  v.c.  49,  Sept.  29,  1914.  —  A.  J. 
Crosfield.  This  appears  to  be  a  starved  dry-rock  form 
or  state. — E.F.L. 
P.  ramiflora  Moench.,  var.  fallax.  Old  wall,  Seaford, 
E.  Sussex,  v.c.  14,  June  26,  1914. — R.  S.  Standen.  The 
flowers  are  immature  and  not  advanced  enough  to  show 
the  characters  of  var.  fallax. — E.F.L. 
Salix  alba  x  pentandra  $  (No.  132  of  set  of  British 
Willows),  from  wet  ground,  Sholden,  near  Walmer,  E. 
Kent,  v.c.  15,  from  a  younger  tree  than  No.  131,  which 
is  decumbent  with  age ;  collected  for  me  and  sent  fresh 
by  Miss  L.  Day,  April  20  and  July  30,  1914.  There  is  no 
noticeable  difference  between  the  two  trees  of  this  rare 
hybrid,  and  it  is  probable  that  both  are  of  one  stock. — 
E.  F.  Linton. 
S.  purpurea  L.,  f.  Forbyana  (Sm.).  Lowlands  near 
Berrow,  N.  Somerset,  v.c.  6,  April  23  and  July  26,  1904. 
As  noted  in  “FI.  Brist.”  this  plant  was  so  named  by 
Dr.  Buchanan  White  and  approved  by  the  Rev.  E.  F. 
Linton. — J.  W.  White.
