so, those of the large-fruited form being not infrequently 5-partite. 

 The small-fruited form has rather smaller and more triangular leaves, 

 and rather shorter petals." See also Druce in New Phyt. 315, 

 1911, where Lindman thought the Crowden Clough plant might 

 prove to be this. Ruprecht [Flora Ingrica iii., 1860), distinguishes 

 microcarpus " pedunculos constanter glaberrimos, marginem 

 calycis non ciliato barbatum, folia acutiora, racemum subuniflorum 

 florescentia praecociorem." The bacca is 2 — 2 \ lines, the seeds 

 J line in diameter, but I have found that even in my 

 small-fruited specimens from the Hunder Beck, N. Yorks, the pedicels 

 have a few hairs, and that even in the glabrous pedicelled form from 

 Strome, West Ross, the calyx segments are ciliate. In F.B., t. 319, 

 the flowering plant appears to be the smaller form, but the fruiting 

 branch added in Syme F.B., t. 876, is the type. Flowering specimens 

 from Glen Shee, E. Perth, Druce, 1885, teste Dr Lindman, probably 

 belong here. Determinations based on the leaves only are untrust- 

 worthy. G. C. Druce. 



1693 c. Calluna vulgaris Hull, var. arborescens Huter in 

 Sched. ex Dalla Torre & Sarnth. Fl. Tyrol iii., 20, 1912. Frutices 

 erecti, ad 95 — 126 cm. altid. adscententes, which I should be content 

 to call forma arborescens. Summer Isles, W. Ross; Killarney, Kerry.

1693 d. Calluna vulgaris Hull, sub- var. speciosa. Differt a 

 typo quod flores grandiores et calycis segmenta longiora (a 3 — 

 4 mm.) habet. Differing from the type in its larger flowers, the 

 longer segments of the calyx, which are deeply cut, so that when in 

 full flower the inflorescence is much more conspicuous. As in the 

 type, after flowering, the calyx segments enrol at the tip so as to give a 

 more globular appearance. This attracted the attention of Mr R. H. 

 Corstorphine and myself, as it grew in the vicinity of Wellington 

 College, Berks, The same form grew with the type on Sutton Park, 

 Warwickshire, where I directed the attention of the members of 

 Section K. of the British Association to it. G. C. Druce.
