var. typica, fairly typical though some of its leaflets are 
almost glandular enough for var. resinosoides. — A. H. Wolley-

Rosa rubiginosa L. [813]. Longmorn, Morayshire, Sept. 
12, 1929.— Leg. K. D. Little. Comm. J. E. Little. Correct. 
I would label it var. typica, under which I now include both 
vars. comosa and apricorum as inextricably mixed forms. — 
A. H. Wolley-Dod. 
Rosa rubiginosa [var. echinocarpa Gren.] Woking, Surrey, 
Sept. 12, 1929. Gathered from a bush by the Basingstoke 
Canal, probably bird sown, for rubiginosa is not common 
on the Bagshot Sand. It was collected rather late, hence 
most of the glands have fallen from the fruits, being 
rather deciduous. — W. Biddiscombe. Not at all like var. 
echinocarpa, which should have very mixed armature and 
very hispid, often echinate, fruit. Here some of the barren 
stems have mixed armature, but they are always misleading, 
and should never be taken as guide for any feature. Many 
of the leaflets are glandular on the upper surface, as in strong 
forms like Corstorphinae, but this has not its leaflets large 
enough for that. I should put it under type, nearest var. 
comosa, but I now combine that with var. apricorum as the 
type of R. rubiginosa. — A. H. Wolley-Dod. Some of the 
leaflets on the fruiting branches have some scattered glands 
on the upper surface ; but the fruits are very poorly furnished 
with eglandular acicles, no stalked glands. I would name 
this var. comosa (Rip.) I have specimens with much more 
prickly fruits but without the stalked glands like the pedun- 
cles. Lt.-Col. A. H. Wolley-Dod said they were weak speci- 
mens of the variety. — J. Fraser. 
Bupleurum rotundifolium L. In sainfoin, near Tingley 
Wood, Herts., June and July, 1929. — J. E. Little. Under 
special conditions of cultivation, these weeds of arable chalk 
land, Bupleurum, Carum Bidbocastanum, and Ajuga Chamae- 
pitys, now contributed, appear in great abundance for a 
season or two, and then with a change of crop again diminish.

Carum Bulbocastanum Koch. Near Tingley Wood, Herts., 
June and July, 1929.— J. E. Little. A rare and local plant, 
like all the British species of Carum. This is confined to 
the chalk formation. There is a record that pigs were at
