dioica, and my specimen is eglandular or nearly so ; but the 
long-stalked flowers and open habit resemble alba. — E. 
Drabble. 
Lychnis albaxdioica. Dwygyfylchi, Carnarvon, N. Wales, 
June 14, 1931. [Ref. C 30]. — J. E. Lousley. I so name these 
plants without reasonable doubt. All the specimens came from 
a single plant, which was growing among both parents. There 
is considerably more difference between L. alba and L. dioica 
than it is possible to express in book-characters. The hybrid 
is easily distinguished from the colour forms of the parents. — 
J. E. Lousley. Yes. The leaves are not so broad as in the 
specimen from Benslow, but the other characters are present. 
I think the hybrid is fairly frequent, [I agree — Ed.], and have 
seen a double form of it in gardens. — J. Fraser. Having seen 
the plant growing with the supposed parental forms, Mr. 
Lousley should be in a good position to judge ; but I think 
it is generally believed that the dioica, form of calyx-segments 
is epistatic in this cross. If that be so, this cannot be a 
plant of the FI generation, though it might possibly be a 
segregate in F2 or a later generation. My specimen, however, 
has the habit, leaf-form, shape of calyx-segments and glanclu- 
losity (though slight) of alba var. colorata Rostr. (var. incarnata 
Lamotte), and thus I should be inclined to name this plant 
in the absence of other evidence to the contrary. — E. Drabble. 
Lychnis Githago Scop. Cornfields near Headley, Surrey, 
July 9, 1931. Introduced with the wheat, as the plants were 
in the rows of grain. — E. C. Wallace. 
Cerastium semidecandrum L. vergens ad var. glandulosum 
Koch. On and about ant-hills, Winterhead, N. Somerset, 
May 16, 1931. Gathered very wet. Top portion distinctly 
glandular. See Report 1922-23, p. 207.— H. S. Thompson. 
Correct for the variety I believe. The stems are little or not 
branched, and far more densely glandular-hairy than any I 
have seen in Surrey. — J. Fraser. Koch’s description of the 
variety is simply L " valde viscidum.” These are glandular 
enough to come under the var., but the stems are rather less 
branched and more elongated than is usual in the species. — 
J. E. Lousley. Dr. Drabble agrees with the determination. 
Cerastium semidecandrum L. By sandy track, Reigate 
Heath, Surrey. [Ref. C 16], May 30, 1931. [C 17], Ap. 26,
