area. Seen in the field, the wide-spread corymb is very 
striking. In 1931 robust plants measured two feet across. 
But it is difficult to find botanical characters by which it may 
be separated from S. aquaticus. See B. E. C. R. 1929, p. 229. 
— J. E. Little. I should name this (plant from North Chapel) 
S. aquaticus Hill. var. pennatifidus Gren. and Godr. — H. W. 
Pugsley. Segments of the upper cauline leaves spread at 
right angles from the midrib, as required. ... It seems to 
me the right plant. — J. Fraser. My sheet is certainly erraticus. 
I think the large very open inflorescence with long, slender 
branches and the characteristic form and direction of the leaf 
lobes are good “botanical ” characters. That erraticus is closely 
related to aquaticus seems clear. S. aquaticus var. genuinus 
G. and G. is by no means common in this country where the 
commonest form is var. pennatifidus G. and G., and this leads 
through var. major Bab. and var. intermedius Druce to 
erraticus. Rouy is probably fully justified in treating erraticus 
as a “ forme ” of aquaticus though in most Continental floras 
they are treated as distinct species. — E. Drabble. 
Crepis taraxacifolia Thuill ? forma. [2627]. Portishead 
sea front, N. Somerset, June 25, 1931. A peculiar form with 
abnormal, broad, oboval stem-leaves which are + sagittate 
and toothed at base. Short hispid hairs on under surface, 
especially on midrib. Involucral bracts glandular tomentose, 
much longer than pappus. Pedicels hispid and glandular. — 
H. S. Thompson. C. taraxacifolia Thuill. A very polymorphic 
species. — H. W. Pugsley. 
Crepis taraxacifolia Thuill. [2625]. In rough moving 
grass, near top of YVollard Hill, N. Somerset, June 12, 1931. — 
H. S. Thompson. Yes. — E. Drabble. Yes. — H. W. Pugsley. 
Crepis capillaris Wallr. [2626]. In mowing grass, Strat- 
ford Mill, Chew Valley, N. Somerset, June 12, 1931.— H. S. 
Thompson. This tali, stout, large-headed form with long 
greenish grey gland, hairs on involucre and peduncles is var. 
anglica Druce and Thcllung f. griseola Thellung. — E. Drabble. 
Hieracium . Canal bank, between Ambergate and 
Whatstandwell, Derbyshire, July 11, 1930. — J. W. Carr. 
H. vulgatum. Fr. — H. W. Pugsley. 
Hieracium . North Barmingham, Norfolk, July 7, 
1931. — R. J. Burdon. I think H. scanicum Dahlst. ; some 
specimens too weak to be characteristic. — H. W. Pugsley.
