from S. viminalis, S. cinerea, and S. caprea clo.se by. The colour 
of the upper surface of the lamina remained of a lighter green 
from April to August. — J. E. Little. “An interesting form fiom 
its brighter green colouring.” — E. F. Linton. 
S. aurita x cinerea ? B.M.L. 5 & 6. Burleigh Meadows, Lang- 
ley, Hitchin, Herts., v.c. 20, April 21 and July 30, 1921. — J. E. L. 
The sheets marked B.M L. 5 and B.M.L. 6 are from two bushes 
growing close together, and within a few yards of S. aurita (Det. 
E. F. Linton). B.M.L. 5 were not sent by him ; but he says of 
B.M.L. 6, “ S. aurita x cinerea $, correct.” — J. E. Little. 
Populus tremula L. Hedgerow, Yate Lower Common, West 
Gloucester, v.c. 34. Flowers April, 1911 ; leaves, normal and 
stump-shoot, Aug. 20, 1921. The long interval between the 
gatherings is accounted for by the trees being felled shortly 
after I took the catkins. — Jas. W. White. Mr. A. B. Jackson 
agrees. 
Crocus nudifloriLS Sm. Nottingham meadows. — Coll. Jos. 
Sidebotham, Sept. 1847 and March 1848. Comm. S. H. 
Bickham. 
Stratiotes aloicles L. Burnt Fen Broad, E. Norfolk, July 1921. 
— S. H. Long. 
Narcissus Pseuclo-Narcissus , var. lobularis Haw. Tenby, 
Pembrokeshire, 1917. — W. Gunter. Comm. Nat. Mus. of Wales, 
Bot. Dept. This plant agrees very closely with Haworth’s 
description of Ajax lobularis , which is stated by him to grow wild 
near Tenby. Another closely allied plant, however, had been 
previously described by Salisbury in “Prod. Stirp. Chapel 
Allerton,” p. 221 (1796) as Narcissus obvallaris, and Herbert, in 
his Amaryllideae, p. 304 (1837), takes up N. obvallaris as a variety 
of his N. licteus, citing for it the lower figure (N. major, var. 7) 
of Curtis, “Bot. Mag.” No. 1301, and remarking that Haworth’s 
lobularis is a similar form. In recent years N. obvallaris has 
usually been regarded as the Tenby Daffodil, at any rate in 
horticulture, and the name N. lobularis has been applied to a 
very different dwarf form (imported from the Continent, I believe) 
that somewhat resembles N. nanus. The “Ajax” or trumpet- 
flowered section of Narcissus is badly in need of revision, and the 
correct name for the Tenby plant is not certain. I do not con- 
sider it a var. of N. Pseudo-Narcissus L., but think it is more 
closely related to N. major L., as did both Curtis and Herbert. 
It is perhaps best left at present as a distinct species under 
Salisbury’s name of N. obvallaris. — H. W. Pugsley.
