U. glabra Mill., var. cornubiensis Loud. Appledram, W. 
Sussex, v.c. 13, Apr. 5, May 1, and June 7, 1919. — It. J. Burdon. 
These sheets are from the same row of trees as the sheets of 
mature leaves which I distributed in 1918 under the name “ U. 
stricta Lindley.” ( See note to paragraph above). — J. E. Little. 
U. vegeta Lindley. (1) Near St. Ippolyts Brook, The Folly, 
Hitchin, Herts., v.c. 20, March 9, M r ay 26, and Aug. 9, 1918. 
Samaras, June 10, 1917. (No samaras were produced this year). 
Of 50 flowers examined Mar. 9, 1918, 25 had 5 stamens and 25 
had 6 stamens. Extremities of lateral branches slender down- 
drooping. Summer shoots hairy. Shoots of second year glab- 
rescent. Tree about 80 feet high, upper branches somewhat 
ascending. Mr. A. B. Jackson assented to this name. — J. E. 
Little. ( 2 ) N. Walls, Chichester, W. Sussex, v.c. 13, Apr. 8, 
May 1, and June 7, 1919.— R. J. Burdon. I saw these young- 
trees, planted to replace decayed ones (? of the English Elm— J 
hardly dare to say of U. campestris L., owing to the confusion of 
the nomenclature) inside the north walls at Chichester in 1918,. 
and suggested this name. — J.E.L. Yes ; but the foliage is imma- 
ture, and should have been collected at least a month later. — 
A.B.J. 
U. nitens Moench x ? Nine Springs, Hitchin, Herts., v.c. 20, 
March 9 and Sept. 5, 1918. (See B.E.C. Report, 1918, p. 525). — 
J. E. Little. Probably a hybrid, as it is not exactly U. nitens. — 
A.H. Nearest to U. nitens, I think. — A.B.J. 
Alnus glutinosa G-aertn., var. maerocarpa Loudon. (Ref. No. 
357). One tree, 16 ft. high, near Perry field, Petworth, W. 
Sussex, v.c. 13, Sept. 17, 1918. — W. C. Barton. 
A. glutinosa Gaertn., y ar - maerocarpa Loudon ? S. of Old 
Park Wood, Fishbourne, W. Sussex, v.c. 13, Sept. 13, 1917, and 
Oct. 8, 1918. Mr. A. B Jackson prefers to name it “forma 
maerocarpa Callier, Feclde.” (See Wats. E.C. Rept., 1917, p. 74. 
Note. On p. 75, line 1, the dimension “9 x 10mm.” should read 
“19 x 10 mm.”). Mr. W. C. Barton and myself can find no cor- 
relation between the leaf-characters and the size of the fruit. So 
far as observation to present date carries us, we accept Mr. 
Jackson’s reduction of var. maerocarpa Loudon to f. maerocarpa 
Fedde. Var. (or forma) microcarpa occurs in Hants, and Wilts. 
( fide W.C.B.), in Kent, Sussex, and Herts. ( fide J.E.L.). In 
further observations it will be of some assistance if the age and 
height of the trees is noted. — J. E. Little. Although this large- 
fruited variety is referred to in the “ Camb. Brit. Flora” as a rare
