Malm sylvestris L. var. On waste ground by corn-mill, 
Portishead Dock, N Somerset, 30 July, 1906. Differs widely 
from the type in its luxuriant and perfectly erect habit — reaching 
a height of seven feet or more — and also in the shape of its 
leaves. Carpels did not become reticulate-rugose until the} 7 
were brown, dry and ready to fall. Mr. E. G. Baker told me 
that there is a similar plant in Herb. Brit. Mus. gathered nr. 
Berne by R. J. Shuttleworth. Mill was subsequently destroyed 
by fire and plant did not reappear. — J. W. White. 
Eroclium circutarium L’Herit. Very small-leaved prostrate 
form. Sandhills, Merthyr Mawr warren, nr. mouth of R. Ogwen, 
Glam., v.c. 31, Aug. 29, 1920 — H. S. Thompson. It is a pity 
the collector made no note of the colour of floral parts and other 
details (as suggested in “ Journ. Bot.” 1920, 126) before drying 
this example. As far as we can gather from the single specimen 
submitted, this comes under E. glutinosum Dam. (less glandular 
than usual), having the + bipinnatifid leaves, short, few- 
flowered peduncles, sub-dentate filament, and small carpel-pit 
without the furrow, etc., of that species. We should like, how- 
ever, to see better material before definitely committing ourselves 
to this name. — EG.B. and C.E.S. 
Medicago falcata L. On shingly beach, Kingsdown, Kent, 
1913. — Louisa Day. Only two sheets showed mature fruits, and 
these were the semi-circular or sub-annular pods of M. sylvestris 
Fries. — W. H. Pearsall. 
Trifolium hybridum L. var. phyllanthum Seringe. Waste 
ground, Avonmouth Dock, W. Glos., v.c. 34, Aug. 11, 1920. 
Infior. changed to a head of trifoliate leaves. — Ida M. Roper. 
Lathyrus hirsutus L. Waste ground, Webbington, Winscombe, 
N. Somerset, v.c. 6, June 21, 1920. — Ida M. Roper. An alien 
found throughout France, central and southern Europe, and 
extending to western Asia and N. Africa. — FI.S.T. 
L. maritimus Big. On shingle, Walmer, Kent, 1918. — 
Louisa Day. 
Rubus ? S.W. slope of Danesborough, 900-1000 feet, 
Quantock Hills, v.c. 5, July 1920 — Flowers small, light pink. 
Plant very glandular and of low stature, leaves small. — H. S. 
Thompson. I can only refer this to glareosus Rogers and 
Marshall, though with just the hesitation due to the great exten- 
sion of /distribution involved. It is known from N. Hants., 
Oxon and eastward, but not further west. Marked differences
