beautifully netted, entire, one bearing one small tubercle ; 
outer sepals minute. — J. Fraser. 
Euphorbia Paralias L. Seedlings. Berrow sandhills, N. 
Somerset, June 9, 1932. — H. S. Thompson. . . . The cotyledons 
are like those of E. exigua, but the early leaves are like those 
of E. Paralias in shape. — J. Fraser. 
Euphorbia exigua L. var. Mayfield, East Sussex, Oct. 23, 
1932. — A. H. Wolley-Dod. These specimens may not deserve 
the rank of variety, but at least are a very peculiar state, due 
to their immense size. Each plant formed a tuft 18 inches 
broad and 6 to 8 inches high ; and the dried specimens give 
no idea of their appearance when growing. I made almost 
40 sheets from one plant, with the exception of about half a 
dozen selected from a second one. The chief feature lies in the 
broad obliquely truncate base of the leaves, which are usually 
produced into a lobe on the anterior side. This form is not 
mentioned in any description known to me. The plants were 
growing in an old pasture whence the turf had recently been 
removed, and were associated with such things as Linaria 
Elatine and spuria, both quite rare species near here, but 
probably brought by birds and found an attractive spot for 
their germination. — A. H. Wolley-Dod. Most interesting. — Ed. 
Not a variety, but the secondary bracts inordinately multi- 
plied at every fork of the inflorescence. 1 have seen E. Peplus 
doing this. — J. Fraser. 
Ulmus stricta Lindl. “ Cornish Elm.” Hedge at Minster, 
near Boscastle, N. Cornwall, Sept. 7, 1932. Leaves only.— 
H. W. Pugsley. 
Salix purpurea L. var. Lambertiana (Sm.). In an old hedge, 
near East Molesey, Surrey. The early collected catkins were 
not sufficient for ail of the sheets, but the late ones show that 
this variety has a short style, whereas the stigmas arc usually 
sessile in the type. The leaves are those of the adult or 
S. Woolgariana (Borr.) stage of the bush, while the var. 
Lambertiana is the juvenile stage. — J. Fraser. 
Salix aurita x caprea (S. capreola J. Kern.). Merstham 
Chalk Pits, Surrey, April 13, 1930, July 10, 1932. Reference 
No. precedes the name on the labels. The hybrid has been 
confirmed by Dr. Floderus, of Stockholm. — J. Fraser. 
Salix repens L. forma argentea (Sm.). Ashcott Peat- moor, 
Somerset, Aug. 10, 1932. — H. S. Thompson. Not exactly 
Smith’s plant, because the leaves are not broad enough. It
