Caucalis arvensis Huds. Shingle, Swalecliffe, near Whit- 
stable, East Kent, Aug. 3, 1930. [Ref. B 12]. — J. E. Lousley. 
Yes. — E. Drabble. Undoubtedly. In fine fruit. — J. Eraser. 
Nice specimens of an uncommon plant that seems to be more 
frequent in Kent than in most British counties. — H. W. 
Pugsley. 
Caucalis nodosa Scop. var. pedunculala Rouy. Seawall at 
mouth of R. Brue, Somerset, v.c. 6, June 19, 1930.- — H. S. 
Thompson. I agree. — J. Eraser. Yes, but not very typical. 
1 have gathered it at the same locality with umbels on stalks 
2 cms. in length. — I. M. Roper. This gathering did not 
strike me as very well marked. — E. C. Wallace. 1 also have 
seen better material there ! — H. S. T. 
Galium boreale L. Dochart Valley, near Killin, Perthshire, 
July 9, 1930. Leg. K. D. Little. Comm. J. E. Little. 
Galium uliginosum L. Shapwick Peatmoor, Somerset, v.c. 
G, Aug. 13, 1930. A delicate form with narrower leaves, 
but extremely scabrous with hooked hairs. Babington was 
wrong in saying “ turning blackish when dry,” and of palustre 
“ continuing green.” It is au contraire ! — H. S. Thompson. 
Yes ; a small, narrow-leaved form. — E. Drabble. Yes ; 
more common in the north than the south. — J. Fraser. 
V alerianella 1 Arable field on chalk hill above 
Bratton, N. Wilts, June 21, 1930. — H. S. Thompson. I should 
say that this is V. denlata Poll., but there are few well 
developed fruits. — E. C. Wallace. This is V. dentata Poll. — 
H. W. Pugsley. 
Scabiosa maritima L. Leas cliffs, Folkstone, E. Kent, 
July 23, 1906. — Miss S. Imeson. Comm. S.L.B.I. Var. 
purpurea (L.). — A. E. Wade. 
Erigeron acre L. xcanadense ? Railway side and wall near, 
Brislington, N. Somerset, Aug. 9, 1930. The tall example 
w r ith root leaves up to 4| inches long and 2-3 fls. on several 
branches, was part of a very large plant, and canadense was 
close at hand. The shorter specimens (with heads only \ 
inch broad) grew among acre on a wall 100 yards distant. — 
— H. S. Thompson. Yes, very convincing specimens. — E. C. 
Wallace. I can see no evidence of a hybrid origin in these 
plants, and moreover the specimens I received have their 
leaves very hairy all over — not “ only ciliate on the borders ”
