Pyrus communis L. Thornbury Knap, near Hill, W. Glos. 
FI. Ap. 10, 1896; Fr. July 20, 1932.— J. W. White. P. 
communis L. var. Deseglisei (R. and C.) excluding the flowering 
branch on my sheet which is not Deseglisei and appears to be 
Pyr aster. — E. Drabble. 
Saxifraga hypnoides L. Rocks about Devil’s Kitchen, Lake 
Idwal, Carnarvonshire, June 26, 1905. Coll. A. 0. Hume. 
Comm. S. Lond. Bot. Inst. I should name these plants 
8. sponhemica Gmel. rather than S. hypnoides. There is a 
multiplicity of forms of this group in Cwm Idwal, presumably 
of hybrid origin. S. decipiens Ehrh. formerly grew about the 
Devil’s Kitchen in addition to the other two species, and in 
1902 I collected what I believe to be S. decipiens X sponhemica, 
when the rarer >8. decipiens was apparently no longer to be 
found. — H. W. Pugsley. 
Chrysosplenium alter nifolium L. Rivar Wood, Berks. 
C. P. Hurst, April 25, 1911. Comm. S. Lond. Bot. Inst. 
Plants of the same gathering were distributed in 1911-12 and 
the note thereon (Rep. B. E. C. 1911, p. 93) is the first record 
of the species for Berkshire. Riever Wood (written Rivar on 
the label) is in the S.W. corner of Berks, near the Wilts, 
boundary. In the late Dr. Druce’s “ Supplement of the Flora 
of Berks.” (Rep. B. E. C. 1917, p. 256) there is no mention of 
this locality for the species, though C. P. Hurst is there said 
to have found it in Berks, in 1910. — J. E. Lousley. 
Epilobium hirsutum x montanum. Damp meadow, Littleton , 
Surrey, Aug. 11, 1932. — G. M. Ash. I think there can be no 
doubt that this is correctly named. It is, in my experience, 
a very uncommon hybrid. — E. Drabble. 
Epilobium montanum L. (Collected because doubtful of the 
species). Portishcad, N. Somerset, July 25, 1932. — H. S. 
Thompson. My specimen seems to be a hybrid, and as the 
stigma is only partially 4-fid, I think it must be montanum x 
roseum ; the small pale pink flowers are also suggestive of this 
parentage. — E. Drabble. 
Epilobium obscurum Schreb. Roadside, Witley Park, 
Surrey, Sept. 24, 1932. — G. M. Ash. Yes, E. obscurum Schreb. 
with the characteristic autumnal stolons. — E. Drabble. 
Epilobium obscurum Schreb. f. strictifolia Hausskn. ? [972]. 
Ramsfold Farm, Lurgashall, W. Sussex, Aug., 1932. — R. J. 
Burdon and J. E. Little ; comm. R. J. B. I think this rightly
