M&curialis pe/rm >m L. (Ref No. 192). Arthog Woods, near 
Barmouth, Merionethsh., v.c. 43, June 12, 191 ‘5. 1 think on ,y 
luxuriant type. On some specimens the leaves were very broad, 
60 x 40 mm The suggestion that the plant with ovate leav es 
is a sex form cannot hold it view of the fact that here both male 
and female plants had leaves of the same shape, — YV. C. Barton. 
A very broad -leaved form, but it is not the M. ovata Steud. — 
J.W.W. This seems a step towards Mitten’s “var. evata” but I 
believe his Hurstpierpoint plant is not the true ovata Hoppe & 
Steud. of the Continent, which Dr. Stapf tells me is often 1 ept 
up abroad as a species. It has almost sessile leaves and other 
characteristics. — C.E.S. 
TJrtica dioica L., var. angvstifolia W. & G. Open waste ground, 
Shemngham, E. Norfolk, v.c. 27, Aug. 1916. Mr. Bennett 
remarks of this: “Your TJrtica dioica is an approach to the var. 
microphylla Hausm., but that has still narrower and smallei 
leaves. I think you may name it var. angustifolia W. & Cl.” — 
F. Long Some specimens seem nearer microphylla. — H.S.T. 
Betula nana, L. Rannoch Moor, Mid-Ferthshire, v.c. 88, 
July 26, 1916. — Coll. R. J. Burdon. Comm. J. E. Little, 
Sal ix caprca L., with abnormal flowers. King’s YY ood, Yatfcon, 
N. Somerset, v.c. 6, Apr. 3 & Aug. 14, 1916. The ovaries have 
become staminiferous, pollen-sacs taking the place of style and 
stigma. (See Report B.E.C. 1913, p. 372). — Ida M. Roper. 
Populus tacamahacm Mill. Bank of Frome, Frenchay, YV. 
Glos., v.c. 34, Mar. 2 & Sept. 7, 1916. — Ida M. Roper. This was 
passed by Mr. A. B. Jackson. — H.S.T. 
Liparis Loesdii Rich. Chippenham Fen, Cambs., v.c. 29,, 1884. 
— A dryer & A. Bennett. The extension of range of this speiies 
to Glamorgan 1, and Carmarthen ! was of much interest Tne speci- 
mens from these counties agree with those sent me by I)rs. 
Focke and Buchenau from the Frisian Islands, where they grow 
associated with Pyrnla rotundifolia and minor , Pcmumia, Garex 
tnnervis, C. CEderi and G. Goodenoaii , Jvncus atricapillvs and Hiero- 
cidoe borealis. The history of its discovery in Carmarthenshire is 
as follows: Mr. J. W. Barker wrote (June 14, 1906), “IruJulv 
1897 a friend of mine, Mr. R. Browne, brought me several plant’s 
which he had picked on the Burrows near Pembrey Amongst 
them were two plants of a little green Orchis, which were quite 
new to me. I found to my surprise they were Liparis, and I
