0. Fuchsii Druce x prcetermissa Druce. (Ref. No. 229 e). The 
leaves in most of the specimens sent are more or less hooded, 
and the flowers nearer to prcetermissa than Fuchsii-, the leaves 
when fresh were distinctly spotted. — W. C. Barton. Too young 
to show the influence of 0. Ftichsii well. The lip markings point 
to that; otherwise it might (at this stage) pass for the other 
parent. — E.S.M. If the leaves of this were spotted, and the 
plant was growing with the reputed parents, the identification is 
probably correct. The spur, however, simulates that of 0. lati- 
folia, and it seems possible that the plant belongs to a form with 
narrow, spotted leaves, occurring in the South of England, which 
has been referred to that species, but which may really be the 
above-mentioned hybrid. But in the example sent I can see no 
traces of the dark variegation of the lip which characterises most, 
if not all, the forms of 0. latifolia. — H.W.P. 
Asparagus maritimus Miller. (Ref. No. 4392). Between 
Cadgwith and Enys Head, Lizard, W. Cornwall, v.c. 1, June 18, 
1917. — Edward S. Marshall. 
Allium sibiricum L. (Ref. No. 4393). Rocky ground on the 
Serpentine, about three miles west of St. Keverne, towards Hel- 
ston, W. Cornwall, v.c. 1, June 19, 1917. Very variable in size 
and hue of flowers ; also in the direction of the stem-leaves, 
which were mostly sub-erect in the more luxuriant plants, but 
spreading or recurved in the dwarfer ones. Davey, in his “ Flora,” 
gives both A. sibiricum and A. Schcenoprasum as occurring in the 
Lizard peninsula ; but I rather doubt the occurrence of the 
latter, having noticed that garden-grown states of sibiricum at 
Kynance Cove, no doubt brought in from close by, resemble the 
stronger specimens of my gathering. The difference between 
these two segregates is, in any case, not very great. — Edward S. 
Marshall. 
Juncus tenuis Willd. Riverside path by the Avon, N. Somer- 
set, v.c. 6, Sept. 1, 1917. Discovered in 1914 by Mrs. Sandwith ; 
probably introduced a few years earlier (possibly from Belfast 
harbour). Specimens a foot high, gathered in May and June 
1915, which had survived the winter, were in fruiting condition, 
and to-day, Jan. 2, 1918, most of the capsules still contain seed.

Fotamogeton gracilis Wolfg. Found by me at Loch Moraig, 
about three miles N.E. of Blair Atholl, E. Perthsh., v.c. 89, Aug. 
15, 1917. Identified by Mr. Arthur Bennett. The specimens 
sent were collected this year on Aug. 25, and are not so good as
