Radiola linoides Roth. Shapwick Moor, N. Somerset, 
Sept. 7, 1930. Forming a thick carpet on a rather recent 
peat cutting, visited by British Association botanists that 
day. — H. S. Thompson. Very scarce in Surrey. — E. C. 
Wallace. 
Erodium cicutarium L. var. [ chaerophyllum (Cavan.) ?] 
[Ref. 4424]. Waste stony ground on limestone ; left (or 
Somerset) bank of R. Avon near Bristol, v.c. 6, Oct. 10, and 
15, 1930. Autumnal rosettes and seedlings in flower or fruit, 
and pieces of older plants for comparison of stem, etc. Petals 
bright pink, not spotted, unequal, largest 5-6 mill, by 2-3 
mill. ; stigmas purple. The flowering or fruiting specimens 
mostly grew on the better drained uneven ground, the rosettes 
with no flower or fruit mostly on flatter though slightly 
higher moss-covered ground adjoining. — H. S. Thompson. 
We have compared this with Cavanilles’ description and 
figure. Cavanilles’ plant has 5-6 flowers to the peduncle and 
the petals are described as orbicular and the colour pale blue. 
This is rather young material, so it is difficult to express an 
opinion. — E. G. Baker. I have a specimen from Reigate 
Heath so labelled by the late C. E. Salmon in about the same 
stage of growth but without fruit. He afterwards withdrew 
the name and wrote “ probably a young example of E. triviale 
Jord,” telling me that Eroclia could seldom be determined 
from plants of the first year’s growth. — A. H. Wolley-Dod. 
It was a sheet of that gathering by C. E. Salmon by which 
I was guided in suggesting the varietal name. — H. S. T. 
Erodium Boraeanum Jordan. Culver Cliff, Isle of Wight, 
June 21, 1930. [Ref. B 9], Flowers pure white, unspotted. 
Carpels hairy, stigmas pale yellow. Fertile filaments very 
gradually enlarged at the base. Peduncles about 4-5 
flowered. Petals about equalling the calyx. Stem decumbent. 
Plant large. — J. E. Lousley. Correct. — E. G. Baker. This 
looks uncommonly like a specimen I once gathered at Shoe- 
buryness and grew from seed in my garden for some years, 
during which it reproduced its characters exactly. It had the 
same conspicuous large white stipules and the tufted growth 
of the leaves at the nodes. I never got a name for it. Marshall 
thought it might be var. chaerophyllum Cav., and Salmon 
thought its leaves in fascicles were very interesting, their 
cutting being like that of E. triviale. Jord., but he gave it no 
name. I do not think Mr. Lousley’s plant can be E. Boreanum,
