since that has obtuse leaf lobes, these being very acute. The 
white petals are due to albinism, not to any specific character. 
Those of my Shoeburyness plant were pale rose. — A. H.

Erodium glutinosum Dum, Foreshore, near Littlestone-on- 
Sea, E. Kent, July 11, 1930.— E. C. Wallace. Correct.- 
E. G. Baker. This agrees quite well with the description of 
E. glutinosum Dum. except in its elongate habit. It should 
be “small and more or less compact.” There is no fruit 
which is the best distinction from the very similar E. Lebelii, 
in showing no furrow round the pit of the carpel.- — A. H. 
Wolley-Dod.

Lathyrus tuberosus Linn. Near Fyfield, North Essex, 
July 27, 1930. I was shown the locality for this plant by some 
village boys, who are well acquainted with it under the name 
of “ The Fyfield Pea.” The characteristic tubers are extremely 
difficult to dig up for examination, and the plant grows 
both in the standing corn and the surrounding hedges. Dr. 
Walker- Arnott’s statement that the flowers fall off without 
forming pods is probably due to the fact that the Pea is cut 
with the corn. It has been known here by farmers since about 
1800. — J. E. Lousley. Pods are forming freely on my piece. 
— J. Fraser. If Fyfield farmers knew it since about 1800, 
it is strange that although a denizen, no botanist recorded 
it until Octavius Corder found it in 1859 (Gibson’s FI. Essex, 
p. 88) and Joshua Clarke in 1860 ( Journ . Linn. Soc. v. 187).
