larly crenate as in Jordan’s figure of occitanicum. The long 
style removes it from sylvestre and brachypetalum. It 
would seem that long-stvled plants of sylvestre have often 
erroneously been taken for occitanicum. The only specimen 
in my herbarium whose fruits resemble those of Jordan’s 
figure was sent to me from Malham, Yorkshire, in June 1924, 
by Miss M. E. Page, and they are too immature for complete 
certainty. Why did the name appear as occitanum in Babing- 
ton Man. ed. 6 et. seq., Watson’s Cybele, L. Cat. ed. 7, Hooker’s 
Stud. Flora ed. 3 ? Jordan, Obs. iii, wrote occitanicum, 
and he is followed by Rouy and Foucaud (FI. France) and by 
Dr. Druce in List, ed. 2. As some doubt has been expressed 
as to the identity of the Derbyshire Thlaspi with Th. virens 
Jord., it may be mentioned that a careful examination of 
this plant, with which I am very familiar, has convinced 
me that the attribution is perfectly correct. — E. Drabble. 
Iberis amara L. [787]. Selected. Flowers violet-tinged- 
Near Tingley Wood, Herts, and Beds., July 13, 1929.— J. E. 
Little. Intermixed with plants having pure white flowers, 
but not quite so abundant. For notes on the Royston plant 
see W.E.C.R. 1912, 432.— J. E. Little. 
Viola lactea Smith. Dousland, Dartmoor, S. Devon, 
June 9, 1902. Coll. A. O. Hume. Comm. S. Lond. Bot. 
Inst. Dwarf, but otherwise beautiful specimens of V. lactea. 
It differs from V. stagnina Kit. in the absence of stolons, 
in the more or less pointed petals, and in the leaves being 
rounded or cuneate at the base (not subcordate). — J. Fraser. 
Viola latifolia Drabble. [A 56]. Near Nohome Farm, 
Langley Bottom, near Epsom Downs, Surrey, July 1, 1929. — 
J. E. Lousley. Some of the specimens do not show the 
spreading branches, but where these are present the plants are 
typical. — E. Drabble. 
Viola . [1288]. Cornfield near Thirty Acre Barn, 
Ashtead, Surrey, May 31, 1929.— E. C. Wallace. Nicely 
prepared specimens of V. segetalis Jord. The tall upright 
plants are typical ; the smaller ones are unquestionably segetalis, 
but are stunted. Some of the specimens with broader, 
more obtuse leaves approach forma obtusifolia. — E. Drabble. 
Polygala vulgaris L. Flowers pink, up to 20 on one stem ! 
Leaves alternate to base of stem. Wing sepals slightly 
mucronate , central vein nearly simple, marginal veins
