R. pallidus Wh. & N., var. leptopetalus Rogers [572]. Road- 
side, site of Queens Wood, Bexley Road, W. Kent, v.c. 16, July 
13, 1222. — W. C. Barton and H. J. Riddelsdell. Yes; panicles 
small, but very characteristic, especially in the cream-coloured 
narrow petals. Well spread over this area of Kent, reaching to 
Plumstead. Neither Focke nor Sudre mentions this variety. — 
H.J.R. 
R. longithyrsiger Bab. [573]. Crown Wood, Shooters Hill, 
W. Kent, v.c. 16, July 13, 1922. — W. C. Barton and H. J. 
Riddelsdell. Right — in Wolley-Dod’s locality. — H.J.R. 
R. rosaceus Wh. & N., subsp. adomatus P.J.M. [540] Wimble- 
don Common, Surrey, v.c. 17, July 10, 1922. — W. C. Barton and 
H. J. Riddelsdell. Yes; known a long time on Wimbledon 
Common. Our adomatus is (fide Rogers and Focke) exactly like 
the German adomatus in panicle, but differs slightly in foliage 
and prickles. Focke saw the living bushes in Herefordshire. It 
is remarkable therefore that he does not accept the plant as 
English in his 1914 monograph ; no reference appears to our 
plant under adomatus or any other name (apparently). Sudre 
places our plant under R. hystrix but at some distance from 
adomatus Muell (as R. Murrayi Sudre). But evidence is still 
required, in face of Focke’s treatment of the form when in 
England in 1894, to show that it is separable from R. adomatus 
Muell.— H.J.R. 
R. plinthostylus Genev. Lambourne, W. Cornwall, July 1, 
1922. — F. Rilstone. Quite right — the average Cornish plant so 
named by Rogers. — H.J.R. 
R. hirtus W. & K., subsp. rubiginosus (P.J.M.) [530]. Wimble- 
don Common, Surrey, v.c. 17, July 10, 1922. — W. C. Barton 
and H. J. Riddelsdell. Yes, I certainly think so. It was new as 
a Surrey record in 1921 when we first found it on Wimbledon 
Common. — H.J.R. 
Alchemilla vulgaris L., var. ftlicaulis (Buser) 1 Grassy slope 
among bracken, near Shipham, N. Somerset, v.c. 6, June 15, 
1922. FIs. yellowish. — H. S. Thompson. A. minor Huds. in 
my opinion. This is a more western type than the closely-related 
A.ftlicaidis Buser, from which it differs by its pubescent peduncles 
and inflorescence branches. — Jens Holmboe. A. minor Huds. 
C.E.S. E. S. Marshall in “Suppl. FI. Som.” gives A. minor 
Huds. synonymous with A. filicaulis Buser, subsp. vestita Buser, 
and says, “ Apparently the usual, if not the only Somerset plant ;
