tioned by Collins and Clark in “New Bot. Guide,” in T. Clark’s 
“ Cat. of Rarer Plants of the Turf Moors of Somerset,” and 
cultivated by him in 1822 ; and White adds, “ this plant .... 
agrees well with V. nemoralis Jord. as described by Rouy et 
Foucaud ” Comparing many plants, May, 1924, with the blue 
form with which it sometimes grows (though more frequently 
the white violet is alone, both on the marsh and some of the 
drier droves), I observe that the pure white plant is more caes- 
pitose, more floriferous, the leaves rather thicker, smaller, blunter 
and less triangular, distinctly less crenate, some being actually 
entire. Its remarkable floriferous and other characters persist 
under cultivation, as I observed on May 16 in Mr. Hy. Corder’s 
garden at Bridgwater. — H.S.T. (See p. 271.) 
V. Kitaibeliana R. & S., var. nana, (Godron). [648]. Quenvais, 
Jersey, June 14, 1923.— In St. Brelade’s Bay I found plants 
growing among Marram grass to the height of eight inches, and 
others are indistinguishable from the plant of S. E. Europe, of 
which Herb. Brit. Mus. has a good series. On the sands close 
by the dwarfed f. nana occurs. On the Quenvais, even at this 
late date, a great number of plants from three to four inches 
high were many of them still in flower; these agree in all 
respects but their stunted growth. In exposure the plant is 
darker coloured, and the corolla more usually purple, but there 
seems to be no room for doubt that the so-called variety nana is 
merely a growth form. In Herb. B. M. I have seen a cultivated 
specimen of considerable size, grown in hort. Bournemouth by 
E. F. Linton, from seed of the dwarf form. — W. C. Barton. 
Silene Armeria Linn. Self-sown on the outskirts of garden 
near Ledbury, Hereford, June 28, 1923. Never grown in the 
adjoining grounds.- — S. H. Bickham. 
Moenchia ereda Gaertn. Siston Common, Mangotsfield, W. 
Gloucester, v.c. 34, May 22, 1922. — I. M. Roper. 
Armaria serpyllifolia L., var. viscidula, Roth, mixed with var. 
scabra Fenzl. Berrow Sandhills, Somerset, N. v.c. 6, June 7, 
1923. — H. S. Thompson. Yes, but not very strong. — C.E.S. 
Spergula sativa Boenn. Cultivated ground, Dolgelljq v.c. 48, 
August 18, 1923.- — W. C. Barton. 
Spergidaria diandra Boiss. var. atheniensis H. & S. [650]. 
Roadside, Bel Ro}ual, Jersey, June 13, 1923. In considerable 
quantity on the gravel of the new sea front, which was at one 
time thought to have exterminated it. Also on walls, etc., at 
St. Aubyn’s. — W. C. Barton.
