in Britain. — H. W. Pugsley. I would go further, and suggest 
that it was never native in most of its recorded stations 
(usually hedgerows) in Great Britain. Moreover, see Top. 
Bot. ed. 2. And in Cybele Hibernica, ed. 2, one reads Occurs 
in many localities, but is always planted or an escape or 
outcast.” Probably the fact that the ill effects of Barberry 
upon corn was known long before any explanation was forth- 
coming, and that the bushes were ruthlessly removed from 
hedgerows need not affect the question of its status as a native 
or denizen in these islands. — H. S. Thompson. 
Papaver Argemone L. Packets of pods. Priddy Lane, 
Hitchin, Herts., Aug. 9, 1928.— J. E. Little. 
Fumaria [ occidentalis Pugsley.] [A 60]. Hedgerow at 
entrance to Penhale Estate, Helston, West Cornwall, May 27, 
1929. — J. E. Lousley. Is F. Bastardii Bor. var. hibernica 
Pugsl. — H. W. Pugsley. 
Fumaria capreolata L. By Gas Works, Tenby, Pembrokes., 
v.c. 45, July 5, 1929. — Ida M. Roper. Yes, var. Babingtonii 
Pugsl. — H. W. Pugsley. 
Fumaria [ capreolata L.] [A 78]. Laneside, Gunwalloe 
Village (which is some miles from Gunwalloe sands), Lizard, 
W. Cornwall, May 28, 1929. — J. E. Lousley Is F. Bastardii 
Bor. var. hibernica Pugsl. — H. W. Pugsley.

Somerset, v.c. 5, July 19, 1929. — E. C. Wallace. Is F. Boraei 
Jord. var. britannica Pugsl. with depauperate flowers. — H. W.

Nasturtium amphibium R. Br. By Burford Bridge, Boxhill, 
Surrey, July 4, 1904. Coll. A. 0. Hume ; Comm. S. Lond. 
Bot. Inst. Evidently this is the var. indivisum D.C., in 
other words the type. — J. Fraser. Yes, the ordinary form 
of N. amphibium R. Br., with the leaves auricled, i.e., var. 
auriculatum D.C., not var. variifolium D.C. — E. Drabble. 
Erophila verna E. Meyer. [Ref. 1287]. Sandy field near 
Shackleford, Surrey, May 10, 1929.— E. C. Wallace. By O. E. 
Schulz s Key, this runs down to E. Boerhaavii Dum., rather 
than E. verna ; and under the former it closely matches 
examples of var. decipiens Jord., named for me by Schulz.
