Symphytum peregrinum Ledeb. ? Corollas an attractive 
red-purple. Bank of Newton Mill stream, near Bath, N. 
Somerset, June, 1931. — H. S. Thompson. Apparently S. 
officinale var. purpureum X peregrinum. — H. W. Pugsley. 
Symphytum tuberosum, L. [491]. (Vide Journ Bot. lxix, 
89 (1931). Wood-edge at Bridge, (near Tunbridge Wells), 
Sussex, May 31, 1931.— H. W. Pugsley and H. C. Pugsley. 
Myosotis caespitosa Schultz. In a ditch, Trelawne Mill, 
near Looe, E. Cornwall, June 9, 1927. — F. Rilstone. This is 
typical M. caespitosa Schultz. — A. E. Wade. 
Myosotis caespitosa Schultz. Boggy ground, Trelawne 
Mill, near Looe, E. Cornwall, June 9, 1927. This plant is not 
caespitose and has emarginate petals. — F. Rilstone. Apart 
from the simple stem, there is nothing to separate this plant 
from the specimens gathered in a ditch at Trelawne Mill. It 
is a form which is met with quite frequently in populations of 
the normal plant, and I take it to be only an annual state. 
The shape of the petals of M. caespitosa arc variable, sometimes 
being entire or emarginate on the same plant. I have seen a 
large number of specimens of M. caespitosa from ail parts of 
Europe, and find that in comparison with the other species of 
Myosotis its characters are remarkably constant.— A. E. Wade. 
Verbascum Lychnitis X Thapsus. [942]. Chalk Pit, Hitchin, 
Herts., July, 1931. — J. E. Little. V. Lychnitis and V. Thapsus 
occur here together. I have not before observed the hybrid. 
The leaves bear most resemblance to those of V . Lychnitis, 
but are decurrent for about half the internode. The in- 
florescence has branches much longer than is occasionally 
seen in robust forms of V. Thapsus. The flowers are light 
yellow. — J. E. Little. The specimens are nearer to V . Lych- 
nitis. In looking for the other parent, it will be seen that the 
flowers are larger than those of V. Lychnitis, the leaves much 
more densely hairy above, and they are decurrent upon the 
stem. The light yellow colour of the flowers may be due to 
V. Lychnitis var. album., which is the more common form in 
Britain. — J. Fraser. 
Verbascum nigrum X Thapsus. [941]. Benslow, Hitchin, 
Herts., July 28, 1931. — J. E. Little. (F. nigrum and V. 
Thapsus grow in proximity). The leaves do not present the 
separation of lamina and petiole of V. nigrum. They are
