var. mollis Borbas, Fl. Budapest 162, 1879. Planta pilis molli- 

 bus adpressis vel accumbentibus sericeo-pilosa et micans, flores 

 plerumque magni et longissime pedunculati. Penzance 1892, Truro, 

 &c, 1911, Druce. Not uncommon in Cornwall; Scarborough, C. 

 E. Palmer ; Sand dunes, Tiree, S. M. Macvicar 1896, in Hb. 

 Bennett. It is the var. sericea Bab. Man. 94, 1847, from TJsan, 

 Forfarshire, Mr Lindsay Carnegie. Mr Corstorphine has recently 

 gathered it in the same locality. Babington omitted it from the 

 fourth edition of 1856, but it would seem that Babington's name has 

 priority over that of Borbas.

P. reptans x erecta. Penzance, Cornwall, 1898, Druce; Ivy- 

 bridge, Devon S. ; Cranbrook, Kent ; Chiddingford, Surrey, E. S. 

 Marshall in Hb. Bennett : the Cranbrook plant is teste Wolf P. 

 adscendens Gremli = P. Gremlii Zimm. Binfield, Berks, 1895, Druce. 

 A plant gathered at Truro, Cornwall, in 1911 [Ref. No. 7917] on the 

 Int. Phyt. Geog. Exc. by the writer is said to be " super-reptans x 

 Tormentilla hinc spectat P. italica Lehm. Hoc specimen est dis- 

 tinctum, minus pilosum, infra ramificatum." On Shotover, Oxon, 

 "reptans x super- Tormentilla " has been gathered. 



909. Alchemilla acutidens Lindb. Mr C. E. Salmon 

 exhibited specimens of Alchemilla (Proc. Linn. Soc. 15, 1913) at the 

 Linnean Society Meeting, April 3, 1913, and stated that Dr Lindberg 

 named the original specimens [of Dr Ostenfeld's gathering] an 

 autumnal state of alpestris. Dr Ostenfeld, however, is investigating 

 the matter, and an early announcement is expected from him. At 

 the time he named them without qualification acutidens, as well as 

 some others of my specimens. The latter had been previously named 

 alpestris by Dr Lindberg.
