and July 27, 1930. The above combination, and its synonym 
have been made by Dr. M. Chassagne in Bull, de la Soc. 
Dendrolog. de France, No. 80 (Paris, 1931). — J. Fraser. 
Salix atrocinerea X nigricans. [Ref. No. 721]. Cult. Kew, 
from Sedburgh, N.W. Yorks, April 5 and Aug. 21, 1933. 
From a small, spreading bush in the garden, about 2ft high, 
and raised from a cutting in 1924. — J. Fraser. 
Salix arenaria X repens f. prostrata (Sm.). Ham Common, 
Surrey, April 23 and Aug. 13, 1933. Some of the leaves were 
collected on Aug. 16, 1931. This form is characterised by 
long, prostrate shoots, very small catkins, and larger oval- 
oblong leaves that are usually stipulate. — J. Fraser. 
Salix W aldsteiniana Willcl. Kanton St. Gallen, Drs. Walo 
Koch cum B. Floderus, Aug. 31, 1933. This is one of those 
tantalising Willows of which various forms have received 
different names. Wimmer places it as a variety of S. arbuscula. 
N. J. Anderson makes it S. arbuscula var. erecta f. ovalifolia. 
A. and E. G. Camus place it as S. arbuscula A. W aldsteiniana 
Koch. All the other varieties are forms of S. arbuscula ; but 
the plant now distributed is near S. phylicifolia in the leaf, 
and approaching S. arbuscula in style and stigmas, and 
conforms to Willdenow’s plant. — J. Fraser. 
Ceratophyllum submersum L. Large pond near Congresbury, 
N. Somerset, Aug. 28, 1933. This pond whence specimens 
were previously sent, and where probably Dillenius got it in 
1726, is still choked noth the plant and little else. — H. S. 
Thompson. Correct, and fruiting. Leaves 3-4 times 
dichotomous. — J. Fraser. 
Allium vineale L. var. compactum (Thuill.) ? In long grass 
close to the R. Chew, below Stanton Drew, N. Somerset, 
Aug., 1933. — H. S. Thompson. The short, broad spathes, 
and the compact head of bulbils, with a tiny leaf from the top 
of some of the bulbils would make this correct for the common 
form of the Crow Garlic. The bulbils are young compared 
with mine, though collected a month later. . . — J. Fraser. 
Ornithogalum pyrenaicum L. Younger leaves March 29, 
flowers June 2 and 12, 1933, from several localities and very 
different habitats S. of Bath, in both N. Wilts, and N. 
Somerset. Judging from specimens in bud, June 2, this plant 
seems not to open properly nor to elongate its spike when kept
