finally become of tlie true woodbine form. I find oaken leaves on the 

 same bushes year after year. A somewhat similar indentation takes place in 

 the leaves of tlie Snowberry, Symplioria racemosa, but the indentations are 

 deeper, and sharper than in the woodbine. A Leffpsteria formosa, in the gar- 

 den of a friend near Haslemere, had its lower leaves deeply cut into Yan- 

 dykes, while its upper ones were of the proper oval form. I observed this 

 in 1863, and again in 1864 — I mention these, as- showing that allied plants 

 have similar vagaries ; Le^fsteria, is also a genus of Caprifoliaceoe. I have met 

 with the oaken leaved woodbine, at Haslemere, and in various places about 

 Godalming, and a nurseryman in this neighbourhood tells me, Godalming is 

 a noted locality for it. I find no notice taken of it in the " Flora of Surrey,," 

 and I am told it is almost unknown in some localities,

Arahis thalianai Darton. The early and late forms of this plant vary 

 considerably, the earlier being never much, and sometimes not at all 

 branched and with only a single rosette of leaves spread upon the 

 ground — the later is often more than a foot high, and with many 

 branches and all the root leaves absent.
