agrestis, but some of the stipules arc nearer the description of 
nivalis. — W. C. Barton. The larger specimens are agrestis ; the 
smaller ones, with zigzag stems and widely-spreading peduncles, 
are arvatica. The latter is the commonest field pansy in some 
parts of the country. Colour of the petals does not seem to be 
of any specific value in the arvensis pansies ; the same plant may 
bear pale and particoloured flowers. — E.D. 
Cerastium viscosum L., subvar. elongatum Rouy & Fouc. (Ref. 
No. 347). Roadside, Lodsworth, W. Sussex, v.c. 13, Aug. 22, 
1918. I understand Mr. Salmon is keeping this under observa- 
tion. So far I have seen no petals. The present gathering 
shows the characteristic feature equally marked in young and 
old plants, and in large and small (1" high to 12"). Rouy & Fouc. 
“FI. Fr.” HI., p. 213, divide C. glomeratum Thuill., a. corallinum 
Fenzl, ft. a/petalum Fenzl, and var. a. again : Sub-var. confertum 
Nob. — “Fleurs rapprochees en cymes denses brievement pedon- 
culees au sommet cles rameaux pen nombreux : plante basse.” 
Sub-var. elongatum Nob. — “ Fleurs en cymes laxiuscules assez 
longuement pedonculees au sommet des rameaux : plante plus 
grande, plus rameuse.” This seems to correspond fairly with our 
British forms, and their constancy should be tested in different 
soils and situations. — W. C. Barton. 
Stellaria negleda Weihe, [var. decipiens E. S. Marshall]. Brent- 
in gby Field, Leics., v.c. 55, May 10, 1916. — A. R. Horwood. I 
see nothing but the type. The acute papillae of the seed distin- 
guish it from var. decipiens , and the haity pedicels and calyces 
from var. umbrosa Opiz. — H.S.T. This is surely only S. media , 
type.— C.E.S. 
Sagina (Ref. No. 355). Stubble field, Kelsham 
Farm, near Petworth, W. Sussex, v.c. 13, Sept. 17, 1918. — 
W. C. Barton. For notes on this plant see Rept. B.E.C., 1918, 
p. 495. 
Montia lamprospcrma Cham., var. boreo-rivularis Lindb. 1 Grow- 
ing in water, Throwleigh, S. Devon, v.c. 3, June 10, 1918. — 
W. R. Sherrin. This really seems to be M. lamprospcrma Cham, 
by the seeds, but whether Lindberg’s plant of “Med. Soc. Fauna 
et FI. Fenn.”, 18—21 (1901), I doubt.— A.B. 
Medicago sylvestris Fr. Near Higham, W. Suffolk, v.c. 26, 
1912. — L. Day. Uncertain without more mature pods or colour 
of flowers. On one specimen very young pods have a falcate and 
twisted tendency, which would indicate falcata. In Garry’s 
“Notes on the Drawings for ‘English Botany’”, pp. 46, 47, he
