E.  stricta  Host.  (D  Downs,  Guildford,  Surrey,  v.c. 
17,  Sept.  1915. — J.  Comber.  This  is  E.  Kerneri  Wetts., 
not  E.  stricta.  The  flowers  are  rather  small,  but  other¬ 
wise  characteristic  of  E.  Kerneri. — C.B.  Gathered  too  late, 
and  the  specimens  are  not  typical.  I  agree  with  Mr. 
Bucknall ;  one  of  my  specimens  has  the  fine  large  flowers 
of  Kerneri. — C.E.S.  The  material  received  is  scanty  and 
indifferent.  One  plant  has  the  leaves  and  bracts  decidedly 
pilose,  and  comes  under  E.  curta,  var.  glabrescens  ;  the 
other  two  may  be  correct.  [Later] .  Evidently  the 
gathering  was  mixed  ;  none  of  the  plants  received  by  me 
can  go  to  E.  Kerneri. — E.S.M.  (2)  Oakthorpe,  Leics., 
v.c.  55,  Sept.  3,  1915.  Some  of  the  plants  from  this 
locality  were  undoubtedly  of  the  borealis  type,  as  pointed 
out  by  Mr.  Bucknall,  who  calls  these  plants  for  the  most 
part  stricta ,  but  I  have  excluded,  I  believe,  all  but  the 
latter. — A.  R.  Horwood.  E.  stricta  Host.—  E.D. 
E.  nemorosa  H.  Mart.  (Ref.  No.  152).  Pant  Einion, 
Arthog,  Merionethsh.,  v.c.  48,  Aug.  15,  1915. — W.  C. 
Barton.  E.  nemorosa  I  think,  but  not  typical.  The 
leaves  are  sometimes  sparingly  setulose,  especially  the 
lower  ones,  and  this  may  indicate  an  approach  to  E.  curta , 
but  taking  the  other  characters  into  consideration,  I 
consider  it  to  be  nearest  to  E.  nemorosa. — C.B.  E. 
nemorosa,  var.  ciliata,  I  think,  but  not  typical.  (See  “  Jl. 
Bot.,”  March,  1916). — E.D.  Yes;  coming  under  our  usual 
form,  var.  ciliata  Drabble.  One  of  my  examples  has  a 
pronounced  nemorosa  habit,  the  other  is  more  condensed 
and  simulates *curta,  but  the  plant  is  only  just  in  flower. 
—C.E.S.  The  three  specimens  sent  to  me  I  should  call 
good  E.  curta  Wettst.,  var.  glabrescens  Wettst.,  they  have, 
decidedly,  the  habit  of  that  plant.  But  Wettstein  included 
under  E.  curta,  var.  glabrescens,  much  that  is  identical 
with  E.  nemorosa,  var.  ciliata  Drabble. — E.S.M. 
E.  gracilis  Fr.  (Ref.  No.  4106).  Dry  heaths,  Strathy, 
W.  Sutherland,  v.c.  108,  Aug.  6,  1915.  Flowers  violet-blue 
or  reddish.  This  plant  is  often  setose  or  setulose  in 
Scotland. — Edward  S.  Marshall.  Correct. — C.B. 
E.  curta  Wettst.,  maritime  form  of  the  type.  (Ref. 
No. '41 10).  Coast  rocks,  east  of  Reay,  Caithness,  v.c.  109, 
July  24,  1915.  Flowers  small,  reddish-lilac  or  whitish. —
