Elatine [Hydropiper L.]. Coron Lake, Anglesey, v.c. 52, July 
4, 1917. — J. E. Griffith. No inflorescence is present; but it has 
the broad, sessile leaves of E. hexandra , and is certainly not E. 
Hydropiper , which I used to know well in Surrey. — E.S.M. 
Hypericum Ddsitangsii Lam. Origin, near Lewes, Sussex, v.c. 
13. Cult. Ledbury, July 24, 1917, from seed sent by C. E. 
Salmon. ( See “Journ. Bot.”, 1913, p. 317). — S. H. Bickham. 
This, I suppose, is the same thing as H. maculatum Crantz, var. 
Babingtonii H. & J. Groves (Babington’s “Manual,” ed. IX. p. 
74) — H dubium Leers, var. maculatum Bab. — E.S.M. 
Malm [parviflora L.]. Field border, Queen Charlton, N. Som., 
v.c. 6, Oct. 6, 1917. — Ida M. Roper. Not the type, which has 
much larger fruit. It appears to be M. microcarpa Desf. This is 
reckoned by Rouy, “FI. de France,” IV. 39, 40, as a “forme” 
(between sub-species and variety). In my specimen the carpels 
are quite glabrous. — E.S.M. Malva borealis Wallm. — E.G.B. 
Geranium Bobertianum L. (Ref. No. 294). Wall at Oare, S. 
Somerset, v.c. 5, Sept. 4, 1917. All from one very large plant 
with a distinct look, but I can find no tangible character to sepa- 
rate it from type. Many plants in the district answered to the 
description of var. rubricaule Hornem., which seems to me no 
more than a form of exposed situations. — W. C. Barton. I see 
nothing to take this off the type. — E.S.M. 
Ulex Gallii Planch., var. humilis Planch. (Ref. No. 297). 
Exposed ground, Shilstone Hill, near Brendon, N. Devon, v.c. 4, 
Aug. 31, 1917. — W. C. Barton. Yes. But is this a genuine 
variety ? I do not know the living plant ; there seems, however, 
to be no definite character, apart from its habit, which exposure, 
or browzing, or both, would account for. — E.S.M. 
Medicago sativci L. Two colour forms. (1) Flowers pale 
yellow. ( 2 ) Flowers very dark violet, tinged with green, and 
looking black at a distance. Sandy enclosure at Burnham, N. 
Somerset, v.c. 6, July 2, 1917. (See “The Garden,” Sept. 1, 
1917). — H. S. Thompson. The cream-coloured variation of 
flowers is new to me. The foliage, also, looks paler than usual • 
a case of albinism ? — E.S.M. 
Lotus corniculatus L., var. crassifolius Pers. Burnham Sand- 
hills, N. Somerset, v.c. 6, Aug. 20, 1917.— H. S. Thompson. 
Yes ; but it would probably revert at once to type if grown 
inland.— E.S.M. My sheet contains good examples of the glau-
