Daucus gummifer All. var. intermedins Corb. Bedruthan 
Steps, N. Cornwall, v.c. 1, July 1, 1912. Coll. J. W. White. 
Comm. I. M. Roper. I appear to have a mixture. Two 
plants are short and branched from the base. The third is 
slender, Gin. long, with branches scattered up the stem. This 
I take to be the variety intermedins Corb. I have a specimen 
from Jersey, 21in. high, with the branches scattered nearly 
to the top. — J. Fraser. 
Galium erectum Huds. Railway embankment near Monkton 
Combe, N. Somerset, June 2 and 12, 1933. — H. S. Thompson. 
This is my idea of G. erectum Huds., and all the sheets were 
identical. — E. C. Wallace. This is not typical G. erectum, 
on account of its oblanceolate leaves. It seems to agree with 
the description of var. Borseanum Rouy (FI. Fr. viii, 15). — 
H. W. Pugsley. 
Galium Mollugo x erectum ? Both species growing together 
and Mollugo already in flower, June 12, 1933. Railway 
embankment near Monkton Combe, N. Somerset. — H. S. 
Thompson. I would call this G. erectum Huds. It might 
look a little different when more of the fruits are mature, 
but not much. — J. Fraser. I think this plant is G. Mollugo 
L. var. dumetorum Rouy (G. dumetorum Jord.). The name 
appears as British in Druce’s Plant List, and there are several 
gatherings in Herb. Mus. Brit, by Marshall and others that 
might be referred to it. Jordan ( Pugillus , p. 78 (1852)) says 
that it is intermediate between G. erectum Huds. and G. datum 
Thuill., differing from the former by its less erect branches, 
smaller flowers, and stems less strict and thicker at the 
nodes ; and from G. datum by its much narrower foliage and 
its early flowering. It may possibly be of the hybrid origin 
suggested for the present gathering. — H. W. Pugsley. 
I am inclined to agree with Mr. Pugsley on these two 
gatherings ; and although particularly interested in the genus 
I do not remember being so uncertain as in both of these, 
which were robust, adjacent and in great profusion. — H. S. T. 
Galium palustre L. var. Witheringii (Smith) ? Weak, 
attenuated form with small leaflets hanging from a stone 
wall, Barrow Gurney Reservoir, N. Somerset, Oct. G, 1933. — 
H. S. Thompson. Agrees with Smith’s description. The 
bristles on the edges of the leaves are directed forward, on the 
midrib beneath, backwards ; on the stem they are reflexed. —
