PLANT NOTES FOR 1913, ETC.

910. Alchemilla argentea G. Don = A. conjuncta Bab. 

 (See Journ. Bot., 306, 1913). The reasons for retaining this in the 

 British Plant List are first Babington's definite statements that he 

 had seen it from two stations — Clova, Forfar, and Glen Sannox, Isle 

 of Arran — and the very precise localisation of it from the finder in the 

 Clova locality ; secondly, the statement made by the Rev. R. Wood, 

 who told me he had it in his garden from a wild Cumberland locality. 

 Root from Ben Lawers, cult, near Birmingham, Mr J. Morley, 1871, in 

 Hb. Druce. M. Buser could of course only give his opinion, as he does 

 not appear to have visited Britain. That acute bryologist, Mr H. Bos- 

 well, told me that A. alpina which he brought to his garden changed to 

 conjuncta, but we may dismiss this statement as being untrustworthy, 

 and not supported as yet by any confirmatory evidence. The hybrid 

 theory has yet to be disproved, but I do not support it. G. C. Druce. 



934. Rosa Afzeliana Fr. = R. glauca x R. coriifolia. 

 The following forms in W. Barclay's Herbarium have been identified 

 by C. Traaen with Almquist's plants. See Journ. Bot., 129, 1913. 

 R. glauca kattegatensis Almq., Palmeri A. k M., prolongata 

 A. & M., Lindstroemii Almq., laevigata Winsl., R. glauciformis 

 Almq., arietaria Mts., etc. R. virens Wahl. sub-sp. scotica A. 

 and T., and elata Mts., R. glauciformis sub-sp. prolongatula A. & 

 Traaen, sub-sp. glauciformis A. & M., defirmata Mts., inserta Mts., 



DECURTATULA Almq., INSERTIFORMIS Almq., R VIRENTIFORMIS Almq., 



sub-sp. Barclayi A. and Traaen. 



Almquist divides R. Afzeliana Fr. into four sub-groups : — 

 R. glauca Yill. = glaucous forms of R. glauca Vill. 



R. glauciformis Almq. = „ „ R. coriifolia Fr. 



R. virens Wahl. = green forms of R. glauca Vill. 



R. virentiformis Almq. = „ „ R. coriifolia Fries. 



1004 (3). Ribes sanguineum Pursh Fl. Amer., i., 164. Alien, 

 West America. Quite naturalised in Armagh, Antrim, Forfar, etc. 

 Figured in Bot. May. vol. 61, t. 3335, 1834. 



1015. Sedum acre L. Near Bridge of Allan, Stirling. Dr 

 C. H. Ostenfeld in lit., 1913, says he thinks he has seen the true 

 continental plant in the above locality. Perhaps members will bear 

 this in mind. I saw it this year in the Auvergne at Le Puy, and was 

 surprised to find how much it differed from our common form. The
