in water a week, even with the help of sun and fresh air 
outside a window. — H. S. Thompson. 
Lilium Martagon L. In abundance (in fruit) in a wood 
below Madgett, Wye Valley, W. Glos., July 21, 1933.- — H. S. 
Thompson. 
Gagea lutea Gawler. I had no hesitation in gathering a very 
few for the Club, because everywhere it flowered so well in 
1933, and apparently the plant propagates itself chiefly by 
the numerous off-shoots from the parent bulb, rather than 
from seed. Two localities near Bath : seedling leaves, March 
29, just within N. Wilts. ; mature plants W. Glos., Apr. 7, 
1933. — H. S. Thompson. My specimen with six flowers on 
it is perfect, one flower more than l’Abbe Coste admits. — 
J. Fraser. One of this W. Glos. gathering had 8 flowers, 
another 7 flowers and two had 6 flowers.— H. S. T. 
Paris quacLrifolia L. With 6 leaves. Many had 5 leaves 
and one had 7. Another has 5 sepals. A large colony, some 
2ft. Gin. high, in a wood above Limpley Stoke, N. Wilts., 
June 12, 1933. — H. S. Thompson. 
J uncus articulatus L. approaching nigritellus in the abruptly 
pointed capsule. Shapwick Peatmoor, N. Somerset, July 18, 
Aug. 22, 1933. — H. S. Thompson. My sheet from the banks 
of the Thames, Middlesex, opposite Kingston, varies in a 
similar way in having some of the capsules abruptly pointed. 
— J. Fraser. 
Sagittaria sagittifolia L. fruits. Whitmore Common, Surrey, 
Sept. 3, 1933. — E. C. Wallace. The fruits still show that they 
are trigonous, apiculate and winged, but very much com- 
pressed at maturity. — J. Fraser. 
X Potamogeton Bennettii Fryer (P. crispus x pusillus). 
[Ref. E.4], Stream near Albury, Surrey, Sept. 9, 1933. See 
Rep. B.E.C. 1932, pp. 118 and 452. — J. E. Lousley. All the 
plants on the two sheets submitted to me were microscopically 
examined and are correctly named. Both sheets showed 
spikes of abortive flowers on peduncles 15 mm. long- — influence 
of P . pusillus — and the youngest leaves on each plant possessed 
minutely denticulate margins. The plants were well supplied 
with characteristic winter- buds and clearly these are their 
sole means of reproduction. — W. H. Pearsall. Correct. The 
short branches with narrow leaves are well shown. — J. Fraser.
