whereas the plant recorded under tins name, from same locality, 
in Hind’s “FI. Sufi'.” 311 (1389) proved, upon examination, to 
be C. hamulata. — C.E.S. My herbarium-set is away on !o an, so 
that comparison is impossible. The rosettes are unusually large 
for this species — when fresh, their metallic green marks it oif at 
a glance— but look right. None of the fruit is quite mature; 
but the persistent styles are erect, and it seems to be correctly 
named. — E.S.M. Correct. I think this is a new record for W. 
Suffolk. I have gathered it in E. Suffolk. — A.B.

similar to these. — W. C. Barton.

(2) Ref. No. 220 B. Dry mud in ditch on open hillside (alt. 1000 
feet), Llandrindod Wells, Radnorsh., v.c. 43, Aug. 15, 1916. It 
should be noted that 220 B was growing in a situation quite as 
exposed as 219, and on drier mud, so that the development of 
the calyx can scarcely be due to situation, and that there was no 
admixture of forms. — W. C. Barton. According to Rouy and 
Camus; “FI. de France,” VIII. p. 167, Boissier and Reuter made 
this a species; J. Gay is the varietal authority. The calyx- 
characters are right, but the petals are said to be “orangds,” 
whereas these are pink, in Mr. Barton’s gatherings. — E.S.M. 
This P. longidentata of Gay was, in 1878, given by Nyman in his 
“Consp. FI. Europ.” as native of Spain and Portugal only; in 
the later edn. France was added. Nyman makes it a sub-species, 
but the difference seems hardly enough for that. Gay’s original 
specimens are in the Kew Herbarium. I have the same form 
from the Isle of C-olonsay, v.c. 102, gathered by M. McNeil, w ho 
says it “ covers a sun-dried pool ear Strand.” Another approach- 
ing it from Witley, Surrey, 1888 (Rev. E S. Marshall). — A.B. I 
In the Report of the Phytogeographical Excursion in the Brit. 
Isles (“New Phytol.” 1911), Mr. G. O. Druce published var. 
dentata r.ov. var. from Co. Kerry and Cornwall (first seen in 1875), 
which “differs from the type in having much longer teeth to the 
calyx, and may be described ‘ Dentibus c dyois capsula (I mm. 
vel ultra) longioribus.’ It forms a passage to the Mediterranean 
and Western variety longidentata J. Oaj end is especial!]- inte-
