development of hairs is due to situation on porous chalk. Within 
a few yards, on tin rich soil of a putting green equally exposed, 
the p’art was quite normal. — W. 0. Barton. I have seen very hairy 
plants like this in similar situations. Thymus lanuginosus of Miller 
is a distinct species, which has not, so far as I am aware, been 
found in Britain. — A.B.J. 
Galcopsis angustifolia Ehrh., var. carescens (Schultz). Pewley 
Hill, Guildford, Surre3q v.c 17, Sept. 25, 1916. — Coll. R. M. 
Kennedy. Comm. E. 13. Bishop. Yes, I believe so. — C.E.S. 
Plant ago media L., > var. lanceolatiformis Druce. Hedgebank and 
borders of bushes, Albury Down, Surrey, v.c. 17, July 1916. — 
I do not know if these come under Mr. Druce’s variety ; but, in 
the present case, they would seem to be merely a state due to 
situation. They grew amongst the long herbage at the bottoms 
of hedges and bushes. — J. Comber. If I remember rightly, Mr. 
Druce’s specimens, issued through the Bot. Exch. Club, are far less 
luxuriant, though much like this in essentials. Very handsome 
and striking. — E.S.M. P. media L., var. Monnicri Rouy (= P. 
Monnieri Giraud). — E.G.B. 
P. Ccronopvs L., ?var. Puttenham Heath, Surrey, v.c. 17, 
June 4, 1916. — E. B. Bishop* P. Coronopus L., var. pygmcea 
Lange. — E.G.B. 
Chenopodium [carinat m R. Br.]. St. Philip’s Marsh, Bristol, 
W. Glos., v.c. 34, Sept. 19, 1916. — Ida M. Roper. This has not 
the flowers in axillary clusters, he. is not a “ Blitum,” and so can- 
not be C. carinatum R. Br. I suspect it may be Atriplex liciniata 
L., era. Koch (A. tatarka L. sec. Boiss.) — a Mediterranean alien, 
but it is useless to send Chenopodiaceae so young ! — A. J.W. 
Atriplex hastata L., var. genuina Godron, forma salina Moss & 
Wilmott. Ref. No. 213. On mud in Newtown saltpans, I. of 
Wight, v.c. 10, Sept. 7, 1916. Closely prostrate, leaves thick 
and fleshy; olant often turning red ( = A . deltoid, ea, var. salirn Bab.). 
I understand that seedlings from prostrate plants like these care- 
fully self-fertilized came up in Mr. Wilmott’s garden indistin- 
guishable from upright hastata . — W. C. Barton. This is so named 
since natural seedlings from plants similar to it developed in 
ga iden soil into A. hastata var. genuina 2 \ feet high. Self- 
fertilised seeds, obtained to test for hybridity, were unfortunately 
sown ,n pots and kept rather dry. They came up fairly uniform, 
9 — 12 in. tall, stiff erect, and very like var. oppositifolia ! Oppor- 
tunity to confira these remarkable results has not occurred. — 
A. J.W.
