Anemone nemorosa L., var. purpurea DC. Beech Wood, Lans- 
down, W. Glos., v.c. 34, April 24, 1923. In great quantity. 
Flowers more or less purple on both sides. — H. S. Thompson. 
Should not var. purpurea be reduced to a colour-form, together 
with a much scarcer var. coerulea DC. ? As a boy I once gathered 
the latter near Tonbridge, in Kent (see “Gardeners’ Chronicle,” 
April 23, 1881, p. 539), and have specimens in my herbarium. 
Dr. E. J. Salisbury (“Annals of Botany,” XXX, No. CXX, 
October, 1916), after study of Hertfordshire A. nemoi'osa, pro- 
posed two new varieties : var. robusta, having petals broadest 
above the middle : var. apelata, analogous to Ranunculus auricomus 
var. depauperatus, having small incompletely developed perianth 
segments. — J.E L. This is only a colour-form of type. The 
inner side of the sepals shows too much white, and lacks the 
intense purple of var. purpurea I)C. — I.M.R. 
Ranu/nculus acris L., var. Boraeanus (Jord.) — Meadow at 
Moorend, W. Gloucester, v.c. 34, June, 1910. Coll. C. Bucknall. 
The specimens represent the variety very fairly, although they 
have suffered to some extent from long storage. — J. W. White. 
B. chaerophyllus Linn. Origin : Near St. Aubin’s Jersey, 
Cult. Ledbury, June 4, 1923. — S. H. Bickham. 
Fumaria muralis Sond., var. cornubiensis Pugsley (nov. var. 
ined.) [No. 284], Near Tregony, W. Cornwall, September 19, 
1922. This plant was first sent to me from Tregony by Miss 
E. S. Todd, of Exeter, and very shortly afterwards I visited its 
habitat, where I saw it growing abundantly over nearly a square 
mile. It differs from all the known forms of F. muralis by its 
essentially pale corollas with strongly dilated apices to the two 
outer petals. A description of it is embodied in a general paper 
on the genus, written in the winter of 1922 — 23, which has not 
yet been published owing to unsettled queries in connection 
with certain foreign species. As the account of this plant can- 
not appear until next autumn, I append the following abbreviated 
diagnosis to render valid the new varietal name : — Yarietas typi 
habitu foliis fructibusque sed corollse pallide lilacinae petalis 
superiore latiore obtuso inferiore marginibus apice plus minusve 
dilatatis subspathulatis. — H. W. Pugsley. 
f. neglecta Pugsley. (As subspecies) [No. 285], Ponsanooth,; 
W. Cornwall, September 20, 1922. I discovered this plant in 
September, 1907 ( vide “Fumaria in Britain,” p. 20), and pointed 
it out to the late F. H. Davey, who gathered a set of specimens 
which were distributed through this club during the following
