The rest show badly torn stem pieces, but I feel sure that the 
material is from R. Bloxamii Lees. N.C.R. — H. J. Riddesldell. 
Only 3 or 4 sheets were distributed. — E. C. W. 
Alchemilla pratensis Schmidt. [821]. Hort. Hitchin (Root 
ex basin of R. Fiddich, Banffshire, 1928. Leg. K. D. Little), 
Sept. 23, 1929, June 9, 1930. — J. E. Little. “ It is not usual 
to find so many hairs on the urceoles and pedicels of A. 
pratensis Schmidt, but I think your plant is undoubtedly 
that.” — The late C. E. Salmon, Nov. 1929. 
Rosa canina var. latebrosa (Desegl.). Greyswood, Surrey, 
Sept., 1930. I send these as a curious instance of change in 
a bush. When Mr. E. B. Bishop found this in 1929 it was 
plentifully supplied with acicles on the flowering stems, 
similar to the specimens I sent last year from Burningfold. 
This year, although we searched the bush carefully, we could 
not find any. There is no question of its being the same bush, 
as it is quite isolated in a field. It will be interesting to see 
what happens next year. — W. Biddiscombe. I do not think 
this is var. latebrosa. There is not a single acicle on any of 
the flowering shoots, and the whole armature is too regular. 
I have seen var. latebrosa from this station gathered by Messrs. 
Biddiscombe and Bishop, in an obvious though weak form, 
and no doubt some of the bushes run down into other varieties, 
these not having been carefully gathered. It is one of the 
Scabratae, though even that group is not strongly marked. 
I should label them var. vinacea (Baker) Rouy. — A. H. 
Wolley-Dod. Both glandular setae and acicles are lacking 
from the flowering shoots, and the subfoliar glands are few. 
I would call it B. canina var. vinacea (Baker), even though 
the stipules and bracts are not vinous red. — J. Eraser. 
Rosa dumetorum Thuill. var. jactata Desegl. By Nailsca 
Ponds, N. Somerset, June 28, 1930. — Ida M. Roper. I have 
discarded the name of var. jactata as unsatisfactory, and too 
near var. platyphylla, but think this is not what I used to 
call jactata. 1 can give it no nearer name than f. urbica which 
is a very variable form. — A. H. Wolley-Dod. 
Rosa dumetorum Thuill. var. incerta (Desegl.). Kingsthorpe 
Woods, near Pickering, N.E. Yorks, v.c. 62, Sept. 17, 1930. 
— Ida M. Roper. Collectively this gathering may go under 
var. incerta, but individual specimens might be segregated. 
Those with some or all of the peduncles smooth arc what
