NOTES on LINCOLNSHIRE PLANTS. 



Seedless Plants. — I gathered Calamintha arvensis in a Lincolnshire 

 limestone quarry at Coleby, Div. 13, and Juncus obtusiflorus from a little 

 pond in a field just outside Howsham Barf Wood, Div. 3, and in both cases, 

 though perfectly healthy, neither species contained any seed. I only saM" 

 one plant of the Juncus, but the Calamintha was growing in plenty, but it 

 was all alike barren. 



As my type collection of seeds is used for naming the species found in 

 the crops of birds, I should be very thankful to botanists for type specimens 

 of the rarer British species of plants. — E. Adrian Woodruffe-Peacock, 

 Cadney, Brigg, Lincolnshire, 20th Oct. 1900. 



Some Flowering Plants at Sapperton, Lincolnshire. — The follow- 

 ing extract is out of a letter from Miss S. C. Stow, of Court Leys, Brandon, 

 Grantham, dated 1st November 1900: — 'At Sapperton, Div. 15, it was too 

 late in the season to do much with flowering- plants, but I came across 

 several I had not seen in Div. 15 before. For instance, Linaria spuria and 

 L. elatine were most abundant in the stubbles, and I never remember seeing 

 Thlaspi arvense so larg-e or so abundant anywhere else. A piece of waste 

 gTOund, where the turnip crop had failed, was quite green with young 

 plants. The same patch of ground was carpeted with Lamium amplexicaule. 

 Some of these plants had corollas three-quarters of an inch long, while 

 others were no longer than the calyx. Geranium pusillum was mos1 

 abundant among the root crops, much more so than any other Geranium. 

 I also took the semi-variety, or, as you would call it, state, nodosum ot 

 Phleum pratense. I had not looked out for it before." — E. Adrian WOOD- 

 Rt'FFE Peacock, Cadney, Brigg, 8th December 1900.
