Erysimum suffruticosum Spreng. ( Cheiranthus erysimoides 
Thuill.). Garden at Cambridge, October, 1930. — A. J. 
Crosfield. This is referred to E. m.urale Desf. in Index 
Kewensis. — J. Fraser. 
Viola odorata L. var. subcarnea Pari. f. imberbis. Hedge, 
Beach, near Lansdown, W. Gloster, v.c. 34, April 10, Sept. 
20, 1930. — Ida M. Roper. Subcarnea, no doubt, as Miss Roper 
has seen it in the living condition. It is not easy to distinguish 
some of the colour-forms when dry ; imberbis certainly, and 
as beardlessness may be associated with different colour- 
forms, Miss Roper is justified in calling this var. subcarnea 
Pari. f. imberbis. — E. Drabble. Correct ; the flowers are of 
the required colour as admitted by Mrs. Gregory, and the two 
lateral petals are beardless. — J. Fraser. 
Viola Deseglisei (Jord.) Bor. [865]. Hundred acre Field, 
Great Wymondley, Herts., June 7, 1930. — E. Little. Yes, 
the plants are all rather small and do not show the sharply 
ascending basal branches, but they are unmistakable. — E. 
Drabble. 
Viola ruralis Bor. [855]. Market Garden, near Ash 
Brook, St. Ippolyts, Herts., May 21, 1930. An over- winter 
plant. — J. E. Little. Most of these are certainly ruralis : I 
have pencilled “ yes ” on the labels of these. Some are 
unusaalty upright for British ruralis, though they agree well 
in habit with some French specimens, e.g. one ex. Herb. 
Deseglise at the Imperial College of Science. — E. Drabble. 
My specimen is a full sized plant, and in its second year. It 
is the type form. — J. Fraser. 
Viola arvatica Jord. [909] Near Punches Cross, Pirton, 
Herts., Sept. 16, 1930. — J. E. Little. Yes, excellent arvatica ; 
very well selected. — E. Drabble. Agrees perfectly with 
Jordan’s and Dr. Drabble’s description. — J. Fraser. 
Viola derelicta Jord [858], Wilbury Hill, Herts., May, 
June, Aug., Sept., 1930. — J. E. Little. Yes, a very useful set. 
Some of the specimens are rather large-flowered, like the 
Scottish plant. — E. Drabble. The simple upright stem 
serves to distinguish this from the zigzag stem of small 
specimens of V. arvatica. — J. Fraser. 
Viola contempta Jord. [902], Stubble, near Highover 
Farm, Hitchin, Herts., Sept. 8 and 24, 1930. — J. E. Little. 
Some of these examples have a dark purple band across the
