but White says in FI. Bristol, p. 505, “ The plants of this 
district met with by me have not appeared referable with 
certainty to either of the two forms ( spicatum and cymosum) 
which make up the aggregate.” — H. S. Thompson. 
Chenopodium, album, L. var. paganum (Reichb.). Waste 
ground, near Cheam, Surrey, with many other forms and also 
Atriplices, Oct. 1, 1932. — E. C. Wallace. Correct for the 
variety of this polymorphic species. — J. Fraser. 
Chenopodium urbicum L. [997] var. intermedium (Moq.) 
Seeds. Garden weed, Newport, I. of Wight, Oct., 1929. — 
J. W. Long. Comm. J. E. Little. Hooker’s description 
(Stud. Flora, ed. 3) of these seeds as “ large punctate, not 
keeled,” is correct. — E. Drabble. 
Chenopodium glaucum L. Fruits [996] Farmyard, Lurga- 
shall, W. Sussex, Sept. 18, 1931. Leg. G. M. Ash. Comm. 
J. E. Little. (See B. E. C. R. 1931, 838). The seeds show no 
trace of acute edge or keel. The statement that the seeds are 
keeled is erroneous, though it has generally been repeated 
since the appearance of Moquin-Tandon’s Monogr. in 1842. 
(See Journ. Bot,., Jan., 1933). — E. Drabble. 
Chenopodium, virgatum Thunb. Waste ground, Splott, 
Cardiff, v.c. 41, July 18, 1929. — R. L. Smith. Comm. N. Mus. 
of Wales. Given by Nyman and still by Coste among other 
Continental authors as Blitum virgatum L. But Schinz and 
Keller name it Chenopodium virgatum (L.) Jessen. It is the 
“ Epinard-f raise.”— Ed. 
A triplex portulacoides L. Salt Marsh, Heacham, near 
Hunstanton, Norfolk, Aug. 7, 1932. — J. W. Carr. Correct : 
but why send such a common plant, and then in flower instead 
of in fruit ? — A. J. Wilmott. Though this is so wildly spread 
in Europe, W. Asia, Africa and N. Am., British (and particu- 
larly maritime) specimens are useful on the Continent. — Ed. 
Suaeda fruticosa Forsk. Beach, Heacham, Norfolk, Aug 7, 
1932.— J. W. Carr. 
Polygonum Raii Bab. Berrow sands, N. Somerset, Sept. 3, 
1932. Greatly increased in quantity this year. — H. S. 
Thompson. Yes, my sheet has good and useful fruiting 
material ; the smooth (not striate- punctate) fruits at once 
distinguish Raii from P. heterophyllum var. littorale Koch., 
with which it has sometimes quite inexcusably been confused. 
— E. Drabble.
