than obovate, abrupt or rounded at the base, and the pods consider- 
ably shorter, often not more than a quarter of an inch long, broader 
in proportion than var. gemina , and having the broadest part in the 
middle, and not at all towards the apex. A more largely developed 
state of what seems to me the same as this variety is sent by the Rev. 
Augustin Ley, from the tidal banks of the Wye, Tintern, Monmouth- 
shire, consequently not far from Mr. Hort’s station for var. gemina , 
to which I think by far the greater number of the specimens of 
Cochlearia anglica, sent by Mr. Ley, must be referred, but the pod and 
leaves require to be examined in a fresh state, and it is to be hoped 
that members of the Club will make notes as to the correlation of the 
shape of the root-leaves with that of the pod, and with the apparent 
depth of the furrow upon the latter, which cannot be properly observed 
in dried specimens. Mr. T. R. Archer Briggs sends a series of Coch- 
learias from the neighbourhood of Plymouth, which appear to connect 
this intermediate variety of anglica with officinalis , but being without 
notes made on the fresh pods I do not venture to pronounce 
judgment on them. Throughout all the varieties of officinalis 
which I have seen the septum never assumes the narrow strap- 
shaped elliptical form which it has in the forms of C. anglica , 
which I have examined when fresh.” — J. T. Boswell. 
Iberis amara , Linn. “ Sparingly scattered over a sandy waste bit 
of ground just above high-water mark at the mouth of the Eden, 
St. Andrews. I have noticed it in previous years in this vicinity, but 
being late in the season I was then unable to get it in flower ; the 
locality in which it grows is the furthest removed from any houses 
or gardens.” — H. M. Drummond Hay, June, 1872. 
Lepidium gramini/olium. Linn. “ Many plants of it on waste 
ground by Kew Bridge, Surrey, 1872, and garden, 1874. Root 
brought from waste ground near Kew Bridge.” — H. C. Watson. “ The 
garden-grown specimens show the hexandrous plant, though the 
stunted form seems to be labelled as the diandrous L. Iberis by some 
Continental botanists.” — J. T. Boswell. 
Bunias orientalis, L. “ Waste ground near the sea, formerly 
ballast ; North Sands, Hartlepool.” “Not noticed here before 1872, 
nor recorded in Baker and Tate, but will possibly maintain its ground, 
though it ripens seed rather sparingly. It occurs only on the oldest 
ballast, now well overgrown and supporting mainly well-established 
perennials.” — F. Arnold Lees, 1873. 
Viola Curtisii , Forst. “ Grassy places between the Lizard Light, 
house and the coast, Cornwall, June, 1872.” — W. H. Beeby. “ These 
specimens seem to be the var. Mackaii, commonly known as the Port 
Marnock violet.” — John T. Boswell.
