very slight. — E.S.M. Although certainly more glabrous than 
type, it is probably not enough so to come under Syme’s variety, 
but I admit I have not seen a type specimen of that. — C.E.S. 
The name glabrescens is rather a misnomer, as Syme says “ spike- 
lets glabrous,” whilst his name would lead one to suppose they 
were slightly hairy. — A.B. 
Lolium perenne L. x Glycerin plicata Fr. Chichester, Sussex, 
v.c. 13, July 3, 1917. — R. J. Burdon. Mr. Druce sent this to 
the other Club. The sheaths are deeply furrowed ; and I believe 
that his opinion is correct. — E.S.M. One can see the Lolium in 
this, but surely it is difficult to recognise a G. plicata hybrid, as 
the species is not itself always easily separated. — A.B. 
Lepturus filiformis Trin. By the Bristol Channel, near Avon- 
mouth Dock, W. Glos., v.c. 34, July 21, 1908. A luxuriant 
form. — J. W. White. 
Asplenium septentrionale Hoffm. Near Llanrwst, Carnarvonsh., 
v.c. 49, Aug. 1917. — J. E. Griffith. Very interesting to know it 
exists still in this station, but I am sorry to see a root on my 
sheet ; fronds would have been quite sufficient. — C.E.Si 
Geterach officinarum Willd., var. crenatum Milde. Walls, a mile 
apart, near Blagdon, N. Somerset, v.c. 6, on dolomitic conglome- 
rate, and at Burrington, two miles off. March and April 1917. 
Though Ceterach is so common in Somerset, this variation appears 
to have been recorded only once before from the county, viz. 
from Chewton Mendip. But I have it also from a lias wall at 
North over, Street, 1887. Selected specimens from Blagdon 
Mr. J. W. White described as “ excellent var. crenatum.” — H. S. 
Thompson. The variety was discovered at Abbotsleigh, the 
Somerset side of Bristol, in 1916. ( See “Journ. Bot.”, 1918, 
p. 86). — I.M.R. 
Chara . Wretton Fen, W. Norfolk, v.c. 28, July 26, 
1917. — J. E. Little. C. hispida L. emend., a dilapidated state. —

C. vulgaris L., small form, ? var. crassicaulis. Nailsea Moor, 
N. Somerset, v.c. 6, Sept. 10, 1904. — J. W. White. The plant 
circulated through the Club in 1906 ( see Report, 1906-7, p. 121). 
A form with broad secondary cortical-cells, well-developed spine- 
cells, and with the posterior bract-cells developed. Nothing like 
so extreme a plant as the var. or subsp. crassicaulis , which has a 
thick stem and more definitely botuliform bract and spine-cells.
