V. Eivinicma Reichb. f. nemorosa Neum. Ball Wood, Con- 
gresbury, N. Somerset, v.c. 6, May 1, 1920. — Ida M. Roper. 
Habit, colour of spur and insignificant calycine appendages, are 
of typical var. nemorosa. — E. S. Gregory. 
V. ericetorum Schrad. f. Candida Aresk ? Sheep-pasture nr. 
Kingsdown Crags, Mendip, N Somerset, v.c. 6, May 22, 1920. 
Firs, pure white, petals broad. Some hundreds, growing with 
the type. — H. S. Thompson. This is not my idea of V. erice- 
torum f. Candida Aresk. A similar plant, but with pale blue 
flowers, was sent to me in the spring of 1920 from another spur 
of the Mendips, which, after careful examination, I assumed to 
be a seedling plant of V. canina var. pusilla. The stipules and 
sepals proclaim its affinity with V. canina. A later gathering — 
say in June or July — would clear up the identity of this inter- 
esting little plant. — E. S. Gregory. 
Silene conica L. In abundance on the sandy hillocks at 
Pembey, Carmarthenshire, July, 1920. — Leg. David Hamer. 
Comm. A. Bennett. Growing near to Liparis Loeselii, as it does 
in the E. Friesian islands on the European coast. An interesting 
addition to the Welsh Flora and to the Western Flora of Great 
Britain. 
Silene Otites Wibel. Near Higham, Suffolk, 1912. — Louisa 
Day. 
Cerastium tetrandrum Curt. ? Slopes of Durdham Down, nr. 
Clifton, v c. 34, April 1920. Growing with 0. pumilum. Bracts 
all herbaceous, pedicels more curved than usual. — H. S. 
Thompson. Yes, 0. tetrandrum , with unusually curved pedicels. — 
W. H. Pearsall Mr. Pugsley writes, “I think the two plants 
sent me under this name are rather large examples of C. pumilum , 
differing ordy in size from other material sent under that name. 
I notice in “Camb. Brit. Flora” that the flowers of C. pumilum, 
are stated to be smaller than those of C. semidecandrum and only 
about half as large as those of C. tetrandrum. I should have 
thought that C. pumilum produced the largest flowers of the 
three.” C. pumilum, is a most perplexing plant, and it is noticeable 
that the flowers in Coste, “ Flore de la France ” (in which country 
that species is widely spread), are larger than those of semi- 
decandrum. C. tetrandrum is usually regarded on the Continent 
as a variety of pumilum. — H.S.T. 
C. pumilum Curtis. Slopes of Durdham Down, Clifton, v.c. 
34, April 10 and May 30, 1920. — H. S. Thompson. Correct;
