“planifolia with leaves somewhat narrow.” Dr. Shool bred’s 
specimens are clearly pleurotrichous, and I should label them 
A. pubescens Link, var. planifolia Syme (not extreme). — C. E. 
Salmon. 
Anagallis arvensis L., f. ternata Williams. Open ground, Tyn- 
tesheld, Wraxall, N. Somerset, Nov. 11, 1924.- — Ida M. Roper. 
Yes. I gathered the same form in 1895 in a roadside ditch near 
Caine, v.c. 7. Also some years later a similar variation of A. 
femina , which Williams does not mention Rouy gives both in 
FI. France. An interesting phylogenetic character, which also 
appears in Lysimachia. — W. C. Barton. 
Myosotis palustris Hill, var. strigulosa (Reichb.). Shetland, 
1924. — R. J. Burdon. The short triangular calyx teeth and 
style equalling the corolla tube, with stem pubescence appressed, 
are right for strigulosa Reichb. The stem seems to be distinctly 
angular in my specimens, which, however, are not well dried, and 
are rather badly mildewed. — W. C. Barton. 
M. sylvatica L. One sheet sent for record in N. Somerset, 
v.c. 6. Limeridge Wood, in dense growth among Vida sylvatica , 
etc., and probably introduced from the North of England with 
young larch or other trees to this somewhat recently replanted 
portion of the extensive wood. May 23, 1924. — H. S Thompson. 
Verbascum nigrum Linn., var. tomentosum Bab. Happy Valley, 
Box Hill, Surrey, v.c. 17, Aug. 5, 1924. In Herb. South Loud. 
Bot. Inst, there is a specimen of this plant from Tilford, Surrey, 
collected by the late E. S. Marshall, of which he says : “ I have 
no type specimen of Babington’s plant.” Beeby has it from two 
Surrey localities. — J. L. O’Loughlin. A rather poor example, 
which is difficult to name, but it agrees better with descriptions 
of the variety than with the type. Not so extreme as the 
Alderney plant; but Beeby found the variety in Surrey many 
years ago, so it does occur in the country. — C.E.S. My sheet 
contains one flowering branch without petals and with a single 
leaf at its base. So far as one can tell from such material it is 
correctly named. The purple filament hairs are just distinguish- 
able, and the leaf is woolly beneath and more or less so above. 
Flowers separately dried, and at least one of the lower leaves 
should be included to make a sheet worth distributing or suffi- 
cient for study. — W. C. Barton. 
V. Blattaria L. Thicket near Bleadon, N. Somerset, July 22, 
1924. First observed in this new locality with H. AY. Pugsley 
on May 3rd. By June 10th several dozen strong plants, 2 — 3 ft.
