54 
which has a much longer carpophore, more cylindrical calyx, etc. 
It is S. nutans , the fruiting characters agreeing with the descrip- 
tion given in “ Journ. Bot.”, 1918, p. 36. — C.E.S. 
Lychnis alba x L. dioica. Cultivated ground, Freshwater, 
I.W., v.c. 10, June 1910. — H. E. Fox. Not very well dried, but 
it looks quite intermediate, and is apparently sterile. — E.S.M. 
Armaria serpyllifolia L., var. viscidula Roth ( — var. glutinosa 
Koch). (1) Burnham sandhills, N. Somerset, v.c. 6, Aug. 20, 
1917. Plant glandular; seeds kidney-shaped, granular. — H. S. 
Thompson. Yes. — E.S.M. Rouy and Foucaud (“FI. Fr.”) de- 
scribe var. viscidula Roth “plante ord. plus petite,” and Koch 
(“Syn.” ed. 3) says that his var. glutinosa is “minor,” but in spite 
of these observations, I believe Mr. Thompson’s plant to be 
rightly named. — C.E.S. ( 2 ) (Ref. No. 299). Rough hilly pas- 
ture near Brendon, N. Devon, v.c. 4, Sept. 1, 1917. In some 
specimens the branches were long and slender, but the capsules 
were all ovoid and brittle. The distinction between serpyllifolia 
and leptoclados seems somewhat slight to justify separation as 
species. — W. C. Barton. This has the habit of A. leptoclados , and 
I incline to name it as the var. viscidula Rouy and Foucaud, of 
that. The capsules are very small for A. serpyllifolia, but more 
globose than is usual in A. leptoclados ; so it may possibly be a 
starved state of the former. My specimens, received through 
the Bot. Exchange Club, are not so far advanced. — E.S.M. I 
believe this is not viscidula Roth (= glutinosa Koch), but a state 
of the type ( scabra Fenzl.), having some glandular hairs. It 
seems to be the same as the plant described by A. H. Wolley-Dod 
from Flintshire (B.E.C. Rep., 1892, p. 357), but I have not seen 
specimens. Mr. Barton’s plant has not the larger capsules, 
strongly-veined sepals, etc., of the variety. I notice that the 
ripe seeds here are under or up to £ mm. long, whereas those 
from Mr. Thompson’s Burnham plant are just over \ mm. long, 
and rather darker in colour. — C.E.S. 
Montia fontana L., subsp. minor Gmelin, var. intermedia Beeby. 
(Ref. No. 295). Rill below County Gate, N. Devon, v.c. 4, Sept. 
15, 1917. — W. C. Barton. Yes, I think this is Beeby’s intermedia. 
— C.E.S. This can hardly come under M. minor Gmelin, which 
is a small compact plant. The seeds are acutely tubercled, dark 
brown, rather shining. I do not know its proper name. — E.S.M.
