Cirsium eriophorum (rare in that county), Scabioso. i columbana, 
S. arvensis, Bee and Frog Orchises, etc. Its possible origin has 
been investigated by several botanists. — Id. S. Thompson. 
Vida Orobus DC. Among mowing grass on the Mendip 
plateau near Charterhouse, N. Somerset, June 26, 1924. Many 
of the plants are nearly prostrate and shrubby through frequent 
mowing. — Id. S. T. 
Spiraea sp. ? Established on island and river bank near 
Conan, E. Boss, v.c. 106, July 16, 1909.— W. A. Shoolbred. 
This is Niellia amurensis Benth. et Hook. fil. - Physocarpus 
amurensis Maximo wicz. Matched with specimens at the Brit. 
Mus. — W.R.S. 
Primus domestica x insititia. Great Wymondley, Herts, April 
3 and Aug. 30, 1923. See W.E.C.R. 1919, p. 98. — J. E. Little. 
P. Padus L. Hedges, Middleton-in-Teesdale, Durham, v.c. 66, 
May 20, 1924. — Ida M. Roper. 
Rubus lasioclados Focke, var. angustifolius Rogers. Durdham 
Down, Bristol, v.c. 34, July and Sept. 1924. — Jas. W. White. 
Without being strikingly characteristic in panicle, this un- 
doubtedly comes under Rogers’ angustifolius. — H. J. Riddelsdell. 
Certainly. — W. C. Barton. 
II. Kaltenbachii Metsch. Open woodland, Leigh Woods, N. 
Somerset, July 15, 1921. — Jas. W. White. Yes; the plant of 
Rogers’ Handbook, showing well the characteristic panicle. — 
W.C.B This is what we have learnt to call Kaltenbachii Metsch. 
Focke, in his Species Ruborum, p. 475, unfortunately does not 
indicate the distribution of Kaltenbachii , and I cannot tell if he 
still thought in 1914 that our plant is correctly named. He 
groups Kaltenbachii under (ruentheri Wh. & Nees (one of the two 
sub-species of aggregate hirtus). — H.J.R. 
Rubus Mitcham Common, Surrey, v.c. 17, July 1924. 
Petals pink; styles green, shorter than the slightly pinkish fila- 
ments. Panicle ultra-axillary. Is it a weak form of R. Gelertii 
Frider. — D. G. Catcheside. R. pyramidalis x ruslicanus. — W. 
Watson. There are characters here both of caesius and of 
rusticanus ; and though (in the absence of notes) any suggestion 
savours too much of guessing, there is a prima facie probability of 
the gathering being from a hybrid bush caesius x rusticanus . — 
H.J.R. The characters seem to indicate a hybrid of rusticanus 
with caesius , and if these two species were present it might be so 
named with some confidence. Material spoilt by being dried 
under too little pressure. — W.C.B.
