though I should write the name, Capsella Druceana E. At., 
or, C.B.-p. (L) Druceana E. At., to be more exact. The name 
is certainly not Bursa Druceana E. At. The small size of the 
plants is probably owing to growth on an unfavourable site, 
aided by the dry weather of June, 1927. — C. E. Britton. 
Lepidium neglectum Thell. Waste ground, Oueen Street, 
Hitchin, Herts., v.c. 20, Aug. 6, 1927.— J. E. Little. 
Lepidium sativum L. Waste ground, Redland, Bristol, W. 
Glos., v.c. 34, Aug. 3, 1927.— Ida M. Roper. Of this, the 
Common Garden Cress, White says (Flora of Bristol, 162), 
“ It is always an outcast, and does not propagate itself spon- 
taneously.’' — Ed. 
Viola odorata L., var. praecox Gregory. Hedge bank, 
Hallatrow, N. Somerset, v.c. 6, Dec. 23, 1926 and June 14, 
1927. Is permanently established since 1917. — Ida M. Roper. 
These specimens taken in two stages of their growth, are 
most interesting and convincing. I may go so far as to say 
“ A perfect joy to a critical student of the genus Viola ! ” — 
E. S. Gregory. 
Viola variata Jord. [732] Det. E. Drabble. Longmorn, 
Morayshire, June 13, 1927. — Leg. K. D. Little. Comm. J. E. 
Little. One of the peculiar N. Scotland pansies. The 
smaller plants, branched at the base, are fairly typical variata, 
but the larger ones are quite untypical and appear to be very 
much updrawn. If distributed alone these updrawn speci- 
mens may lead to confusion, as they resemble lepida flowering 
in its first year. The nature of the basal branching and more 
especially the stipules, however, serve to distinguish them 
from lepida. — E. Drabble. 
Viola [ arvatica Jord.]. I had doubts as to whether this 
might possibly be a young form of something else, and hence 
included in the gathering the most branched plants I could 
find. Cultivated field near Burghfield Common, Berks., 
June 5, 1927. Ref. Y 129. — J. E. Lous ley. No ; this is 
V . vectensis F. N. Williams. It is less hairy than the I.O. 
Wight plant but otherwise typical. — E. Drabble. 
Viola . [Ref. 1 402 j . Cornfield near Tot Hill, 
Headley, Surrey, July 24, 1927.— E. C. Wallace. V. segetalis 
Jordan. The well-grown plants are very typical ; some of 
the smaller ones are too voung to be quite characteristic. —
