M. latifolia Noltc, M. sylvestns x aquatica Docll, M. nemorosa x 
aquatica Doell. For remarks on M. pubescens as a British plant 
see : B.E.C. Report, 1887, p, 187, when the Abbe IStrail (in litt. 
to me) discusses it; Watson B.E.C. Reports, 1892, p. 13; 1908, 
p. 199; 1912, p. 353. — A. Bennett. 
M. gentilis L. [No. 412]. Criccieth, Carnarvonshire, Sept. 5, 
1924. — H. W. Pugsley. These specimens represent a tall coarse 
form of M. gentilis , which probably owes its luxuriance to growth 
in the rich soil of a stream-bed. In this hybrid, if it be so, the 
stamens are, I believe, always shorter than the corolla — a point 
noticed by Linnaeus in his original diagnosis (Sp. Plant. 577), 
and by Smith (FI. Brit ii. 622). The single-stemmed specimens 
are the lower lateral branches of large plants. This form of 
M. gentilis somewhat recalls M. rubra Sm., but this latter not 
only has larger corollas with stamens generally exserted, but the 
hairs of its narrower calyx are more restricted to the teeth, and 
the plant’s habit is more robust, less branched and normally still 
taller.— H.W.P. 
M. arvensis L. ? Pale form growing under bracken and Cala- 
magrostis epigeios on west slope of Shuteshelf Hill, Winscombe, 
N. Somerset, Aug. 4, 1924 — H. S. Thompson. This unbranched 
apparently erect form of M. arvensis appears to be close to var. 
nummularia (Schreb.) as understood by Boreau and Baker. 1 
have not had the opportunity to consult Schreber. At the same 
time 1 should like to see plants gathered later, as they seem to 
be setting no fruit, and may prove to be a hybrid. — C.E.S. 
Correct, verging towards var. praecox.- — A.B. 
Galeopsis angustifolia Ehrh., var. canescens Schultz. Corn- 
fields, Ashstead, Surrey, Aug. 2, 1924. Leg. E. C. Wallace. 
Comm. D. (4. Catcheside. This is type only ; the var. canescens 
has patent hairs on the upper part of the stem ; the calyx teeth 
are also too long for the variety. — W. It. Sherri n. 
Plantago Coronopus L., var. pygmaea Lange. On dry rocks, 
Bull Point, N. Devon, Aug. 12, 1924. — D. G. Catcheside. Cor- 
rect. — E. G. Baker. 
Chenopodium urbicum L. Isle of Wight, near farm, Shalfleet, 
Sept. 17, 1924. Coll. J. Groves. Comm. C. E. Salmon. This 
is C. urbicum L., var. intermedium Moq. ( C . intermedium M. & K.), 
which is known from a number of localities in the Isle of Wight. 
In foliage it is very distinct from typical C. urbicum , and is placed 
by Itouy (FI. France xii. p. 43) as a race, under the name of 
C. microspermum Wallr., which antedates C. intermedium. — H.W.P.
