E. Paralias L. Seedlings. Berrow sands, N. Somerset, June 
28, 1924. All in this gathering (25 sheets of at least 6 in each) 
from under one or two old plants. — H. S. Thompson. 
Parietaria ramiflora Moench. ( officinalis L. p.p.), var. fallax. 
Embankment of Thames near Mortlake, Surrey, v.c. 17, June 7, 
1924. — D. G. Catcheside. This, I believe, is not the variety, 
which is a less-branched plant with longer leaves, recalling P. erecta 
M. & K.— H.W.P. 
Eetula pubescens Ehrh., var. Leaves glabrous. Moorland, 
1600 to 1700 ft., Allt an t’Stuic, E. Inverness, v.c. 96, July 28, 
1911. — -W. A. Shoolbred. A shrubby form probably coming 
under P. pubescens , var. denudata G. et G. FI. Fr. Ill, 147 (1856), 
which includes a series of forms having rhomic leaves tapering 
at the base, glabrous, or only slightly hairy beneath. Recorded 
by Marshall, B.E.C. Rep. 1911, from the same locality, and iden- 
tified by him as B. pubescens Ehrh., var. Friesii. — A. B. Jackson. 
Palix triandra L., var. concolor Koch. = S. amygdalina auct. 
Walton withy-bed, near Clevedon, N. Somerset, May 24 and 
Sept. 2, 1924. Leaves bright green on both sides, and so should 
be the variety or form concolor. This Walton plant, however, 
has been accepted as S. amygdalina , which Andersson, according 
to Buchanan White, regarded as equivalent to discolor Koch — 
the glaucous-leaved form. These forms grow together at Walton, 
and as it has been found that both glaucous and green leaves 
may be borne on the same plant, it cannot be worth while to 
trouble about such so-called varieties of S. triandra. — Jas. W. 
White. Correctly named. The narrowly-oblong leaves, nearly 
of equal width throughout the greater part of their length, and 
suddenly narrowed to both ends, are characteristic of the typical 
form of S. triandra , as distinguished from S. triandra L., var. 
amygdalina (Sm.). Both have forms with the leaves green 
(concolor) on the under-surface, and glaucous there (discolor). 
The best form of the leaves is well shown upon the strong sum- 
mer growths. All the sheets are full and well dried. — J. -Fraser. 
S. fragilis L. 3 [592]. Confluence of Ippolyts Brook and 
Ash Brook, Hitchin, Herts., v.c. 20, May 15 and July 5, 1924. — 
J. E. Little. Right, I suppose. — E. F. Linton. This is what I 
call S. fragilis x triandra. Like Mr. Linton, I have my doubt as 
to what S. fragilis , var. latifolia is. I collected some specimens 
which I thought might be it, and one of the largest leaves mea- 
sures 8 x 1| inches. A similarly large leaf on your No. 592 
measures 5|- x 1-|, but is not so equally tapered. Your leaves
