F. Bored Jord. 1 West Porlock, Somerset, v.c. 5, July, 
1922. — H. S. Thompson. Correct. — H.W.P. 
F. Martinii Clavaud (F. paradoxa Pugsley). Potato field 
between Combe Down and Claverton, Bath, Oct. 11, 1920. — 
C. Bucknall. Comm. J. W. White. Correctly named, but not 
at all typical, partly through being gathered so late. The fruit 
is much broader than usual, and the attached envelope includes 
fruits of F. officinalis L. — H.W.P. 
Draba muralis Linn. Combe Beacon, near Chard, Somerset, 
v.c. 5, May, 1922. — H. Downes. 
Lepidium ruderale L. Waste ground by river Avon, Ashton 
Gate, N. Somerset, v.c. 6, June 5, 1922. — H. S. Thompson. 
Thlaspi alpestre, L. sensu latiore. Broken ground below Ship- 
ham, N. Somerset, v.c. 6, April 15 and June 1, 1922. — H. S. 
Thompson. 
Reseda suffruticidosa L. Waste ground, Portishead, N. Somer- 
set, v.c. 6, Aug. 3, 1922. A few R. alba L. with six sepals and 
petals were also present. — Ida M. Roper. 
Viola Riviniana Reichb., forma. Highwood, Patchway, IV. 
Glos., v.c. 34, May 2 and June 23, 1922. Mrs. Gregory, on see- 
ing fresh specimens of the first gathering, wrote : “ I take this 
violet to be another of the puzzling links between V. rupestris 
and V. Riviniana. The stipules are not only broader, but the 
teeth are of a different character from those of V. Riviniana, not 
cilia so much as processes .” — Ida M. Roper. 
V. Riviniana x rupestris. Det. E. S. Gregory. Near Dye’s 
Farm, Langley, Hitchin, Herts., v.c. 20, Mar. 21 and 29, 1921.— 
J. E. Little. I have gone through the enclosed violets, plant by 
plant, and have formed the conclusion that the greater part of 
them have affinity with V. rupestris , but that none are free from 
Riviniana characters. — E. S. Gregory. I learn from Mr. Little 
that he has never seen V. rupestris in Herts., and I believe these 
specimens to be simply a small form of V. Riviniana with rather 
broad leaves and stipules. V. rupestris Schmidt ( V. arenaria DC.) 
is a perfectly distinct species, which I have collected several 
times in the Swiss Alps. The plant discovered many years ago 
in Teesdale by Backhouse undoubtedly belongs to this species, 
and I found it in 1903 in what was probably Backhouse’s original 
station. It was growing in small quantity, but producing freely 
from cleistogamous flowers its characteristic pubescent and velvety 
fruits. In that year the late A. 0. Hume was in Teesdale, and
