Stokeinteignhead,  Devon.  In  1914,  Miss  Livett  very 
kindly  sent  me  an  assortment  of  variegata  and  lactiflora 
forms  from  Cadbury,  so  that  I  might  study  the  capsules. 
I  found  all  variegata  capsules  to  have  long,  shaggy  hairs 
on  the  angles ;  some  lactiflora  capsules  were  glabrous  (as 
described  in  “  British  Violets,”  p.  24)  ;  some  were  slightly 
hairy,  but  not  shaggy.  The  name  I  applied  to  this  form 
from  Banwell  Wood  and  from  Stokeinteignhead  is: _ 
II  V.  hirta,  var.  hirsuta,  f.  lactiflora .”  Miss  Roper’s 
specimens— taken  in  flower,  and  again,  in  fruit _ make 
violet-study  a  pleasure. — E.S.G. 
V.  hirta  L.,  var.  Foudrasi  (Jord.).  Limestone  slopes 
below  Leigh  Woods,  Bristol,  N.  Somerset  v.c.  6,  April  27 
1915.  No  flowers  left  by  May  12,  petals  broad,  rich  violet’ 
(See  FI.  Brist.  (1912),  p.  174).-H.  S.  Thompson.  Correct! 
— E.S.G. 
V.  calcarea  Gregory.  Growing  with  small  V.  hirta  L. 
on  limestone  slopes  below  Leigh  Woods,  Bristol  N 
Somerset,  v.c.  6,  April  28  and  27,  1915.  Flowers  violet 
spur  short.— H.  S.  Thompson.  Yes.— E.S.G. 
V.  canina  L.,  var.  Selworthy  Beacon,  S.  Somerset 
v.c.  5  (at  800  feet),  April  15,  1915.— W.  C.  Barton.  From 
the  long-fringed  lower  stipules  and  the  long,  narrow 
anther-spurs,  I  judge  these  plants  to  be  nearer  to 
V.  Riviniana  than  to  V.  canina.  A  later,  more  mature 
gathering  is  necessary  to  complete  the  diagnosis.  I  have 
what  appears  to  be  the  same  violet  from  “  Sand  hills 
between  Newquay  and  Perranporth,”  sent  me  by  the  late 
Mr.  Davey.  His  plants,  also,  were  only  in  the  early- 
flowering  stage. — E.S.G. 
V.  Lloydii  Jord.,  var.  insignis  Drabble.  (Ref.  No. 
4072).  Abundant  in  oatfields,  Melvich,  W.  Sutherland! 
v.c.  108,  July  15,  1915.  Named  by  Dr.  Drabble.  This 
beautiful  pansy  is  common  on  the  North  coast,  in  culti¬ 
vated  land  ;  but  it  is  also  probably  native,  as  I  saw  it  in 
wild  ground,  near  Strathy  and  Altnaharra.— Edward  S 
Marshall. 
V.  arvensis  Murr.,  var.  [subtilis  (Jord.)] .  Stubble  field, 
Narborough,  Leics.,  v.c.  55,  Oct.  28,  1915.—  A.  R.  Horwood!
