top of the lower petal, the anther than in the other, the anther - 
spur blunt curved upwards, four spur curved blunt, three to four 
to six times as long as broad. times as long as broad. 
Inodorous or faintly scented. Odorous. 
Viola lutea var liamulata. Having now raised from seed the 
Pansy from Marrick Moor near Richmond, mentioned in Baker’s 
No^th Yorkshire, as a form under lutea and grown it for three years 
without finding it lose its characteristics, we give a description of it 
here to draw the attention of botanists to it as a possibly distinct 
variety or sub-species, bearing in some respects the same relation to 
typical lutea that arvensis has to tricolor. Rootstock thread-like, 
perennial, wide-creeping. Stems diffuse, much branched at the 
base, slender, quadrangular, pubescent below but the pedicels naked. 
Lower leaves on naked channelled stalks about a quarter of an inch 
long, roundish, with ciliated crenations about as broad as deep, 
upper ovate bluntish or even lanceolate acute, with crenations two 
to three times as broad as deep. Stipules with the terminal lobe 
much larger than the others, leafy and toothed, the lobes all ciliated, 
the lateral ones two or three on one side, usually one only on the 
other, linear or subspathulate, entire, erecto-patent or sometimes 
curved like a sickle. Bracts three-quarters of the distance up the 
pedicel, minute, ovate acute, about the same width as the stalk. 
Sepals three-eighths of an inch long, lanceolate acuminate slightly 
ciliated, the upper pair smaller; equalling the petals. Expanded 
corolla £ of an inch deep, by £ inch across, petals all yellow, upper 
pair pale obovate two lines across, lateral pair smaller deeper coloured 
with each a tuft of hairs at the throat, the lowest four lines not 
marked with any lines or marked at the throat with three to five 
faint ones. Spur slender, curved upwards, barely one and a half 
times as long as the subquadrate, bluntly toothed calycine appendages. 
Anther spur linear-filiform curved upwards, 6 to 8 times as long as 
broad. The typical V. lutea has the terminal lobe of the stipules 
entire and less leaf-like, the lower petal, when the plant is fairly 
developed, half an inch, the lateral pair £ to f of an inch, and the 
upper pair half an inch across, so that the fully expanded corolla 
measures about an inch each way, and the spur keeled and thickened 
at the end, about twice as long as the deeply-toothed calycine 
appendages. 
Sag in a ciliata. Sent by Mr. T. R. A. Briggs, from Botus- 
fleming, Cornwall. Hew to the County and Mr. Briggs has gathered 
it also in Devonshire. 
Arenaria tenuifolia var viscosa Bab. Uuder this name Mr. 
F. Townsend sends a plant from gravel-pits near Eriswell, Suffolk. 
It is not the true A. viscosa of Schreber, which has not yet been 
found in Britain, and is a much smaller plant than A tenuifolia, 
with capsule shorter than the calyx and petals half as long.
