T. Serpyllum L., yar. angustifolius G. et G. Bontnewydd, 
Dolgelly, Merioneth., v.c. 48, Aug. 8, 1923. — W. C. Barton. 
Accoi'ding to my notes the best name for this is T. Serpyllum , 
var. angustifolius Walls. It is not uncommon on siliceous soils, 
sand-hills and dry arid places, but appears to pass gradually into 
the var. linneanus G. et G. Intermediate forms are very common.

T. Serpyllum L., subvar. linneanus G. et G. St. Ouen’s Bay, 
Jersey, June 17, 1923. — W. C. Barton. 
Prunella laciniata L. Origin: Pyrford, Surrey. Cult: Winch- 
more Hill, London, July 20, 1923.— L. B. Hall. 
Stachys recta L. Waste ground, near Barry Docks, Glamorgan, 
v.c. 41, June, 1922. — Coll. A. E. Wade. Comm. Nat. Mus. of 
Wales. Yes, although common in France I cannot find it re- 
corded hitherto in our alien lists. — I. M. Roper. 
Scleranthus annuus L., var. hibernus Reichb. Hartford Heath, 
Kent, v.c. 1G, June, 1923. — St. J. Marriott. This has the right 
habit and short floral leaves of liibernus , but the specimens are 
not in fruit when the chief characteristics of this variety may be 
seen. — C.E.S. This genus and Illecebrum, Herniaria, and Corrigiola 
are now better placed at the end of Caiyophyllaceae. — H.S.T. 
Amaranthus chlorostachys Willd. On a fowl-run, St. Philip’s, 
Bristol, Oct. 9, 1923. Hitherto this has been regarded as a 
variety of A. retroflexus , but the well defined characters of its 
perianth and inflorescence surely entitle it to be recognised as a 
distinct species. The perigone divisions are ovate-lanceolate, 
acuminate ; while in retroflexus they are refuse and mucronate. 
The central branch of the panicle is so far elongated as to con- 
siderably exceed the remainder of the inflorescence. At Bristol 
it appears to be at least as frequent as A. retroflexus. I have 
come across an excellent key to the Amaranths of Western 
Europe in the Bolletimda Sociedade Broteriana, Coimbra. — J. W. 
White.
