XXX PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 
Scientific Committee, July 21, 192 1. 
Mr. E. A. Bowles, M.A., in the Chair, and six members present. 
Veronica formosa. — Mr. Bowles showed on behalf of Mr. Loder Veronica 
formosa, called V. Girdwoodiana in gardens. This is the only shrubby species 
of Veronica from Australia. 
Proliferation in Geum. — Mr. Fraser showed on behalf of Mr. F. G. Wood 
abnormal flowers proliferating of Geum rivale, Leonard's variety. 
Crataegus. — Mr. Forrest also showed specimens of the two native Crataegus 
with a hybrid between them, a sheet of dried specimens of seedlings, and the 
variety laciniata of C. monogyna. 
Ailanthns roots. — Mr. Bowles showed a root growing under his lawn, which 
may have come from Ailanthus glandulosa, growing some distance away (on 
examination it proved to belong to Juglans nigra, a very long distance from the 
place where the root was found).
