Galium palustre L. As a strand plant without flowers or 
fruit. Berrow sands, just above H. W. mark, N. Somerset. 
Sept. 22, 1931. Leaves, mostly in fours, broader (up to 5mm. 
broad) and more obtuse than normally. — H. S. Thompson. 
A curious form. — E. G. Baker. As far as the stems and leaves 
are concerned I would call this a state of G. palustre, due to 
salt water under the sand. The stems are finely scabrid on 
the angles ; the leaves consistently in fours, with reversed 
setulae on the margins and on the midrib beneath. — J. Fraser. 
G. palustre L., abnormal and not flowering. — H. W. Pugsley. 
Galium anglicum Huds. Plentiful on walls in the town of 
Mildenhall, W. Suffolk. [C 1]. July 11, 1931.— J. E. Lousley. 
Yes. — E. Drabble. Characteristic specimens, except that my 
pieces have no roots to show that the plant is annual. — J. 
Fraser. Correct. — E. G. Baker. Sir J. Hooker placed this 
as a sub-sp. of G. parisiense L. Dr. von Hayek gives it as a 
synonym of G. parisiense L. var. leiocarpum Tausch. I notice 
von Hayek places G. silveslre Poll., which he considers the same 
as G. pusillum Smith, as a synonym of G. asperum, Schreber. 
Those interested in this plant should consult Briquet in 
Schinz and Keller Flora der Schweiz, and Schuster in Oestrr. 
Bot. Zeitschrift, 1909, p. 1 et seq. — E. G. Baker. Yes, and 
Briquet reduced G. ancjlicum Huds. to a variety of G. pari- 
siense L. Smith also gave anglicum as a synonym of parisiense 
(but of Relhan instead of Linne). Smith’s English Flora in 
four vols. 2nd ed., 1828-30, is still a most useful work, 
especially for synonyms and full references — H. S. T. 
Valerianella eriocarpa Desv. Rocks and ledges at Church 
Ope Cove, Portland, Dorset, May 19, 1931. As only a few 
sheets were distributed before, I now send ample material. 
See Report, 1928-29, p. 476. — E. C. Wallace. Seems right, 
but my specimens are without fruit. — E. Drabble. Appears 
right in every particular, but I should have liked it in fruit 
to show the interesting, five- or six-toothed calyx better. — 
J. Fraser. 
Senecio erraticus Bert. [819]. Pond near Hookham's 
Farm, Lurgashall, W. Sussex, Aug. 16, 1929 ; Aug. 6, 1930. — 
J. E. Little. Two sheets were also sent from Linch, W. Sussex, 
Aug. 14, 1929. [792], Little and Burdon ; and from near 
Blackdown House. [794], Little and Burdon, Aug. 17, 1929. 
Dr. Drabble has confirmed several plants from this woodland
