description given in Rouy’s “ FI de France ” of Erythrceo : mnios- 
issirna Pers., var . pidchella Griseb., for which he gives W^tt rock’s 
name as a synonym. — W. C. Barton. I think both the Fresh- 
water and the Albecq plants that have reached me are nearer 
Wittrock’s cmtracta, than his Schwartziana. — C.E.S. Very dwarf ; 
but I see no varietal character. Near Pagham, W. Sussex, a 
similar form occurs in thousands, but shades off insensibly into 
the ordinary coast-plant. — E.S.M. 
AmsincMa intermedia F. & M. Waste ground, Brislington, 
N. Somerset, v.e. 6, June 16, 1916. Stamens inserted in throat 
of corolla tube. Is A. angustifolia Lehm. a synonym 1 — Ida M. 
Roper. 
A. lycopsioides Lindl. Waste ground, Horfield, Bristol, W. 
Glos., v.c. 34, June 23, 1916. Stamens inserted at base of corolla 
tube. — Ida M. Roper. Bpth this and the preceding one are 
correct according to descriptions in DO. “Prodr.”, but the genus 
needs revision. — A.J.W. 
Symphytum officinale L., var. pmpureum Persoon. ( = S. patens 
Sibthorp). By the Land Yeo stream near Flax Bourton, N. 
Somerset, v.c. 6, June 13, 1912. The form with flowers of a 
deep red-purple hue. officinale, when sterile, has the seg- 
ments of the calyx spreading after flowering, and it is not 
improbable that from this Circumstance Sibthorp gave the name 
of patens to the ‘red-flowered comfrey.’” (C. Bucknall in “ Jl. 
Bot.”, 1912, p. 333). — Jas. W. White. 
x S. lilacinum Bucknal) ( = S. officinale , var. ochr ilcucum x pur- 
pureum x peregrinurn). Bank of the Frome near Frenchay, W. 
Glos., v.c. 34, June 27, 19 '6. We have now two stations for 
this scarce hybrid. These specimens are approved bj r Mr. 
Bucknall, who remarks that they differ slightly from the N. 
Somerset plant in producing more fruit, and having leaves rather 
less decurrent. — Jas. W. White. A very finely set-up series of 
this hybrid. — H.S.T. 
S. caucasicim Bieb. Derived from the Chelsea Physick Gar- 
den. Cult, at Clifton, Bristol, by C. Bucknall.. April 30, 1916. — 
J. W. White. * 
Lithospermum officinale L., var. pseudo-latifolium C. E. Salmon. 
Netherlands Copse, near Guildford, Surrey, v.c. 17, July 1916. 
— J. Comber. Yes, certainly. Sent from this station to the 
other Club in 1915. — C.E.S.
