Matthiola sinuata Br. Saunton Clifts, N. Devon, v.c. 4, Aug. 6, 
1919. — Coll. C. Bartlett. Comm. Ida M. Roper. Agreed ; but 
why are none of the typical lower leaves sent ? — C.C.L. 
Barbarea vulgaris [R. Br. in] Ait., var. silvestris Fr. Purwell 
Field, Hitchin, Herts., v.c. 20, June 24, 1918. Also distributed 
to the B.E.C. 1918 (Report, p. 486). Mr. A. B. Jackson saw the 
whole gathering in 1918. In 1919, on plants in the same spot, 
the siliquas, including beak, varied from 10 — 20 mm. in length. 
The smallest seemed to occur more generally at the lower end of 
the raceme. — J. E. Little. Some of the specimens sent shewed 
a tendency to vary in the direction of var. campestris, which is 
connected with the var. silvestris by intermediate forms. — A.B.-J. 
The pods on my example are not “adpressis strictis” (Fries), nor 
are they as short (“about 12mm.”) as Mr. A. B. Jackson 
(“Journ. Bot.”, 1916, 206) would like them. These average 
20 mm. long. Is not Mr. Little’s plant var. campestris Fr. ? — C.E.S. 
Arabis ciliata Br. (in ripe fruit). Hort. Epsom, Aug. 1918 
[ex Dogs Bay, Roundstone, West Galway, 1913]. Sent at Mr. 
Salmon’s suggestion to complete my 1916 series. Mr. Scully, in 
his recent “ Flora of Co. Kerry,” has some interesting notes on 
the relation between this plant and A. hirsuta. — W. C. Barton. 
Cardamine pratensis L., ft. pleno. Meadow, Bishopsworth, 
near Bristol, N. Somerset, v.c. 6, May 14, 1918. First recorded 
from this locality in 1880. Kernel’ (Vol. II., p. 554) states that 
double flowers may become permanent through the influence of 
gall mites. — Ida M. Roper. This is the double state of the more 
frequent form of C. pratensis, the C. palustris Peterm. — C.E.S. 
Erophila verna E. Meyer, var. stenocarpa (Jord.). Near Town- 
hill Park, Southampton, S. Hants., v.c. 11, April 22, 1918. — 
W. R. Sherrin. Yes.— E.S.M. This is not, I think, stenocarpa , 
which has longer pedicels, of which Boreau says, “ silicules deux 
fois plus courtes que le pedicelle,” a feature borne out in examples 
named stenocarpa in my herbarium. I cannot, however, name 
Mr. Sherrin’s plant; not majuscula. — C.E.S. 
E. virescens Jord. (Ref. No. 4465). Near High Force, Tees- 
dale, N.W. Yorks., v.c. 65, and Durham, v.c. 66, April 26 and 
May 1, 1918. — E. S. Marshall. 
Capsella Bursa-Pastoris Med., var. densifolia Mott. Field near 
Narborough Bog, Leics., v.c. 55, May 15, 1916. — A. R. Horwood. 
One specimen (larger plant) var. densifolia Mott. Three smaller 
plants are var. stenocarpa-coronopifolia Mott. — C.E.B.
