Jordan’s type do not agree. Jordan’s plant in the Nat. Hist. 
Museum is more like our Woodwalton Fen plant.” This means 
that V. nemoralis Jord. is near to V. nemoralis Kutzing, men- 
tioned as a synonym on p. 100 of British Violets. — E.S.G. 
V. canina L. ( pro parte), var. macrantha Gren. et Godr. Ber- 
row Sand-dunes, N. Somerset, June 28, 1924. This is the 
leathery violet, with large bluish flowers, frequent on that part 
of the sandy coast. — H. S. Thompson. Yes. — E.S.G. 
V. tricolor L. (aggr.). Sandy field above Borden Wood, W. 
Sussex, v.c. 13, May 2, 1924. — J. E. Little. V. variata Jord. A 
very useful set. Some of the plants show considerable develop- 
ment of lower parts of the stems underground, and thus approach 
V. lepida in habit. — E. Drabble. 
Polygala vulgaris L. Burleigh Meadows, Langley, Hitchin, 
Herts., Aug. 19, 1924. — J. E. Little. A somewhat puzzling set. 
On the whole, the gathering is nearest P. vulgaris, but some of 
the specimens verge towards dubia. I should like to see the 
growing plants to ascertain whether both species occurred there — 
and possibly hybrids — but such seem very rare in this genus. 
I detected a few plants of Corbiere’s var. subciliata (it seems too 
high a rank !) among the specimens and have so labelled them. —

P. calcarea F. Schultz. Rough pasture on Oolite, Combe 
Hay, N. Somerset, v.c. 6, June 1, 1921. Very rare in Somerset. 
— H. S. Thompson. Nice examples from one of its most westerly 
stations in England. — C.E.S. 
Dianthus deltoides L. Deganwy Castle, Carnarvon, v.c. 49, - 
July 9, 1912. — W. A. Shoolbred. 
Saponaria Vaccaria L. Near Gravesend, W. Kent, v.c. 16, 
June 1924. — St. John Marriott. Of this alien White points out 
in Flora of Bristol that it was omitted from the tenth edition of 
Lond. Cat. “It will be a plant that will be always with us, 
without doubt, and no good can be served by ignoring its 
presence.” — H.S.T. 
Cerastium vulgatum L. var. alpinum Hartm. Llyn Clogwyn 
(c. 2500 ft.), amongst mosses at side of lake, Carnarvonshire, 
v.c. 49, Aug. 8, 1924.— D. G. Catcheside. Not C. vulgatum, but 
clearly C. arcticum Lange. — C.E.S. 
Sagina ciliata Fries. Chiefly the glandular form. Sand Point, 
N. Somerset, July 5, 1924. — H. S. Thompson. This is a small
