plants lost. They do not seem to me to be typical F. ap data, 
apart from the colour of phyllaries (which have only the faintest 
t -ace of purple tint), but I cannot make them g&rmmim or spathic 
Ida. — E. B Bishop. I have no doubt that this Is the same 
my plant. — C.E.S. 
Senedo vulgaris L., f. rubrkavlis Trow. Field, Cambridge, 
Cumbs., v.c. 29, Sept. 20, 1016. — Albert J. Crosfield. 
Arctium nemorosum Lej., var. suhtomentosim Ar. Bennett. 
Roadside near Bodorgan Station, Anglesey, v.c. 52, Aug, 10, 
1916. — J. E. Griffith. Far too young to name with certainty. 1 
should have named it A. minus. — A.B. Mr. Griffith sent this to 
the Bot. Ex. Club Brit. Isles in 1893, and the specimens were 
then, as in the present instance, too immature for determination. 
It is much to be hooed that Mr. Griffith will gather it another 
season in mature condition, as it looks a very interesting plant. 
Mr. Beeby, to whom. I showed an 1893 example, thought it to be 
a woolly-headed form of minus, but wished to see older speci- 
mens. — C.E.S. Gathered much too early ; but it is probably 
A. vulgar e Evans, forma suhtamentosum Evans (A. intermedium, 
var. subtomentosum Ar. Bennett). See A. H. Evans in “ Journ. 
Bot,” 1913, pp. 113— 119.— E.S.M. 
Carduus pycnocephalus L. Roadside bank, Acle, E. Norfolk, 
v.c. 27, July 1915. — F. Long. This is tenuiflorus Curt.; the 
peduncles are more naked than any of my specimens ; but in my 
foreign specimens they are more so in the upper parts, the heads 
much longer, and the leaves densely cottony beneath. — S. H. 
Bickham, in litt. ISot the type, but our -ordinary British plant, 
C. tenuijlorus. — E. S.M. 
C. crispus x nutans. Chalk-pit, Merrow Downs, Surrey, v.c. 
17, Aug. 1916, — J. Comber. A good intermediate; it was sent 
to me fresh. — E.S.M. Certainly so, I should say, — C.E.S. 
Cnicus arvensis lloffm., var. setosus (Bess.). (1) Roadside near 
Guildford. Surrey, v.c. 17, Aug. 1916.— J. Comber. I believe 
this is the mite of Koch rather than Bieberstein’s setosus. — C.E.S. 
(2) Hedgerow, Ennismore Avenue, Guildford, Surrey, v.c. 17, 
Sept. 15, 1916. — Coll. R. M. Kennedy. Comm. E. B. Bishop. 
1 understand that Bieberstein’s var. setosus has leaves much more 
entire than those of the specimen before me, which is better 
placed, 1 think, under Koch’s mite. — C.E.S. 
arvensis x la'iiceolatus. Roadside waste, near Bramlo 
Surrey, v.c, 17, Aug. 1916. — A single large plant, growing with
