the stem more prickly, not dividing irregularly into several peduncles 
at the apex.” — John T. Boswell, June, 1875. 
Carduus arvensis, var. “ This is the same thistle noticed by Dr. 
Buchanan White and Col. Drummond-Hay on Ben Lawers two years 
ago, of which a specimen was sent by me to the Club. It occupies a 
narrow zone near the foot, reaching for some considerable extent, and 
was not noticed elsewhere.” — H. W. D.-Hay, 1874. “ I believe this 
to be the Cirsium arvense, var. horridum, of Koch’s ‘ Synopsis.’ It 
differs from the ordinary form in being more slender, and with the 
leaves extremely undulated and spiny. I have seen it in abundance 
above the Free Church Manse at Orphir, Orkney, certainly, and I 
fancy in some other places. In a letter Dr. Buchanan White (who 
calls it C. arvense, var. elegans ), says it occurs in several other places 
on the banks of the Tay near Perth. — J. T. Boswell, 1875. 
Arctium intermedium. “ Waste ground by an old limestone quarry, 
between Hay Farm and Elburton, S. Devon, August 14, 1872. — 
T. It. Archer Briggs “ A. intermedium, without doubt. The 
elongate peduncles of the anthodes are, as far as I can see, the only 
constant marks of distinction between this and eu-minus .” — J. T. 
Boswell, 1875. 
Arctium nemorosum, Lej. “ Damp Woods, Honington, Warwick- 
shire,” August, 1872.” — Col. and Com. Fredr. Townsend. “I do not 
pretend to know A. nemorosum. Prof. Babington, to whom I sent a 
specimen, says he thinks it is A. minus (eu-minus), but the specimen 
appeared to be aside branch, and was not enough to enable him to be 
sure of the name.” — J. Boswell, 1875. 
Matricaria Chamomilla, Linn. “ Fields near Kelso, Roxburghshire. 
A rare weed in cultivated ground in this district.” — A. Brotherston 
1874. 
Filago spathulata, Presl. “ From cornfields near Croham Hurst, 
Surrey. Hot recorded for this division (d) in Brewer’s “Flora of the 
County,” but seems not uncommon, and has been observed in several 
places in this division during the past summer.” — W. H. Beebv 
August, 1872. 
Senecio vulgaris, L., var. Ubernica, mihi. “ Mr. A. G. More in 
1873 sent a fragment of «. Senecio from Cork, sent him by Mr. 
Carroll. This plant is mentioned in the ‘ Cybele Hibernica,’ p. 158, 
as A. Senecio, allied to S. squahdus, but with much smaller flowers ; 
it may be a hybrid.’ In the First Supplement to the “ Cybele 
Hibernica,” p. 20, Mr. More says, ‘ The supposed hybrid between 
this (S. squalidus, Linn.,) and S. vulgaris, Linn., proves to be the rare 
variety, with ligulate florets, which has also been found by Mr. H.
