always as a planted tree, on account of the elegance of its 
wide-spreading branches, broad shining leaves and masses of 
golden catkins. It may be compared with : (1) S. fragilis L. 
[592], (W.E.C.R. 1924, 306 and B.E.C.R, 1925, 1063), 
for which Herr Gorz gave a similar determination, in which 
Herr K. H. Rechinger (Vienna) concurred : for this however 
Mr. W. Watson (Kew) gave “ S. decipiens Hoffm. (perhaps = 
fragilis xtriandra) ” : (2) S. fragilis L. (Broad leaves. [629]. 
W.E.C.R. 1925, 349) : (3) S. fragilis L. [589], (B.E.C.R, 
1924, 736).— J. E. Little. 
Salix daphnoules Vill. r f. [931]. Girls’ Grammar School, 
Hitchin, Herts. Catkins Mar. 25, 1931. Leaves July 21, 
1931. — J. E. Little. The origin of this small tree was in a 
stake sent as support to a flowering almond. The stake grew 
and the two are now much of a size and intermixed. The 
twigs in winter are of a beautiful glossy purple, and quite 
ornamental even in a leafless state. The living tree has no 
appearance of the ‘ mould ’ on the twigs which gives it the 
German name ‘ Schimmel-W eide ’ : this appears only after 
a shoot is dried. — J. E. Little. Quite correct. This Willow 
is much misunderstood in Britain and Ireland by the cultiva- 
tors, who call it S. Meyeriana. The other species of this 
affinity has much more of the grey wax upon the summer 
shoots, namely S. pruinosa. — J. Fraser. 
Salix Caprea L .Xviminalis forma rugosa (Leefe). Walton- 
in-Gordano, N. Somerset, April, May and Aug., 1899. — J. W. 
White. Right for S. rugosa Leefe ; but as it is only one of the 
two forms of the hybrid S. Caprea xviminalis, E. F. Linton 
put it as f. rugosa (Leefe), the other form being S. mollissima 
Srn. — J. Fraser. 
Salix cinerea Linn. (Long-styled form). Malden Rushet, 
Telegraph Hill, Surrey. Catkins April 5 ; leaves Sept. 13, 
1 931 . In the group Caprea, Salix Caprea has the most distinct 
style, but in this form of S. cinerea it is decidedly long. — 
J. Fraser. 
Ceratophyllum submersum L. Abundant in a pool connected 
with the River Yeo, near Congresbury, N. Somerset, Sept. 
30, 1926. — J. W. White. In Report 1926-27, p. 398, I 
suggested that this ancient pond may be the station near 
Congresbury whence Dillenius recorded the plant in 1726, —
