R. trichophyllus Chaix. Old Park Farm, Bosharn, W. Sussex, 
v.c. 13, May 3, 1918.— R. J. Burden. 1 believe this to be Droudii 
rather than trichophyllus. — C.E.S. Quite typical R. trichophyllus 
Chaix. — W.H.P. I should say R. Droudii. — J.G. 
R. Droudii F. Schultz, var. Godronii (Gren.). Field pond, 
Farnborough Common, Marksbury, N. Somerset, v.c. 6, May 20, 
1918. — I. M. Iioper. Yes. — J.G. R. trichophyllus Chaix, f. 
Godronii (Hiern). Beautiful and characteristic examples, agreeing 
well with description and nearer to trichophyllus than to Droudii. 
—W.H.P. 
R. Baudotii Godr. Pagham, W. Sussex, v.c. 13, June 11, 
1919. — R. J: Burdon. A hybrid, with R. Baudotii as one parent. 
— J.G. My examples have no fruiting heads, but the specimens 
seem correctly named. — C.E.S. 
R. Lingua L ., var. hirsutus Wallr. ? Oxborough Fen, W. 
Norfolk, v.c. 28, July 11, 1919. This form, with appressed hairs 
on leaves, stems and peduncles also occurs in Wood Walton Fen, 
Hunts; in Wicken Fen, Cambs ; in Mow Fen, Shouldham, 
Norfolk. Wallroth, in “ Schedulse criticse,” Halle, 1822, p. 288, 
has the following remarks: “ R. Lingua L. («) glabratus Wallr., 
caule, calycibus foliisque utrinque glaberrimis : (ft) hirsutus Wallr., 
caule, calycibus foliisque utrinque pilis appressis hirsutis. Planta 
minus diligenter ab auctoribus describitur, et Candollius ipse 
caulem glabrum urget modoque adnotat, folia nonnisi margine 
et subtus subscabra esse. Equidem autem exemplaria ante oculos 
habeo, undique omnibus partibus, pilis appressis, densis hirsuta : 
alia glaberrima. Utraque varietas foliis integerrimis, serratis et 
incisis variat eaque varietas in laciniatam, de qua Schlechtendalius 
1.1. 17 agit, transit.” An examination of the sheets of R. Lingua 
in the Herb. Brit. Mus. shows that the Irish and Scottish 
specimens have all of them a clothing of appressed hairs on the 
leaves and upper stems. I was unable to complete the examina- 
tion of the English sheets, but those which I saw had the same 
character. The amount of hair clothing varies, but I could find 
none with entirely glabrous leaves. Will some member now 
distribute the glabrous form 1 ( See B.E.C. Report, 1916, p. 553). 
— J. E. Little. I know nothing of this variety, but I should 
suppose these plants would come under it. Grenier and Godron 
say of R. Lingua “ plante glabre ou pubescente ” ; and Babington, 
“ Stems and leaves glabrous or with appressed hairs.” — H.S.T. 
Yes, comes under var. hirsutus Wallr. (See “ Flora of Berks,” 
1897, p. 19.)— G.C.D.
