Wahlenberg). There used to be a tree of it in Kew Gardens, 
wrongly labelled U. alata, which is an American species. Henry 
mentions trees at Hatfield, and says that it appears to be a com- 
mon variety in the forests of Central Europe. — A. B. Jackson. 
The elm sent is U. nitens Moench, var. suberosa ( U. foliacea 
(Gilbert, var. suberosa). It is not U. campestris, if by that name 
is meant the “English Elm” of the Thames and Severn valleys. 
It is hopeless to attempt to bring correctness into names of elms, 
as Continental and British authors are not agreed. — A. Henry. 
U. stricta Bindley. Tyntesfield Park, Wraxall, N. Somerset, 
v.c. 6, fls. Mar. 3, fr. April 13, Is. July 26, 1926. — Ida M. Roper. 
Correct, I believe. — A. B. Jackson. 
Salix alba L. 1 var. angustata Anderss. Dunwen, Belfast, Co. 
Antrim, Ireland, 1926. This narrow-leaved form agrees in some 
respects with Andersson’s description of the variety, “folia 
angustata, latitudine quadruplo-sextuplo longiore, apice longis- 
sime cuspidata,” but Mr. Fraser, to whom I submitted examples 
two years ago, hesitated to so name it. He thought it more in 
the direction of S. ccerulea Sm., matching well a male plant from 
Surrey, and pointed out that the leaves of my willow are not 
“ plerumque obsolete serrulata.” These leaf-variations, though 
conspicuous enough, are probably unworthy of much considera- 
tion. — Jas. W. White. Conforms fairly closely with S. alba L., 
var. angustata Andersson, of Sweden. — J. Fraser. 
S. alba L. var. vitellina (L) 2 . By stream, Lambriggan, 
Perranzabuloe, W. Cornwall, v.c. 1. Catkins, May 24, 1926 ; 
leaves, Aug. 1926. Taken, I believe, from the tree recorded as var. 
vitellina in Davey’s Flora of Cornwall, p. 413. — F. Rilstone. I 
can match the size and shape of the leaves of this with S. alba 
var. vitellina (L.) taken from an old tree, but in no other respect 
does it fit into the variety. The leaves and twigs are too silky, 
and the bark is not yellow nor red. The catkins are too short 
for the var. vitellina even on an old tree ; but the most decisive 
test of all is that the bracts of the catkins are ovate, obtuse, and 
shorter than the ovaries, whereas the bracts of the var. vitellina 
should be linear-lanceolate, very acute, and reach to the base of 
the short style. I would name the specimens S. alba L. var. 
angustata Andersson. — J. Fraser. The colour of the branches 
and twigs does not support the varietal attribution. I would 
suggest S. alba L. type. — J. E. Little. 
S. aurita x caprea ( S . capreola J. Kern). [453]. Oxted chalk 
pits, Oxted, Surrey, April 5, August 2, 1925. — J. Fraser. ( 2 )
