the differences in the calyx and in the nut between G. Tetrahit 
and G. speciosa mentioned by Hooker and by Babington. 
Ascherson and Graebner generally mention differences in 
the fruit, but in this case (FI. des N.O. Deutschen Flachl. 
602) have nothing to say. [As a test I send another packet 
gathered in Wretton Fen, W. Norfolk, Oct 14, 1925, after 
leaf and flower had vanished, which I believe to be G. speciosa, 
but cannot certainly differentiate. Perhaps some one will 
be able to say to which it belongs.] — J. E. Little. 
Lamium purpureum L., forma alba. Allotment ground, 
Westbury-on-Trym, W. Glos., v.c. 34, Mar. 14, 1927. — Ida

Teucrium Botrys L. Ref. 1414. Seedlings from a gravelly 
field between Banstead Wood and Kingswood station,

these having germinated the previous autumn. — E. C.

Illecebrum verticillatum , Linn. Origin New Forest, Hants., 
Sept. 14, 1925. Grown at Parkstone, Dorset, on uncultivated 
ground consisting of almost pure sand under partial shade of 
pine trees. Gathered Sep. 20, 1927. Each plant formed a 
dense circular prostrate mat, the largest measuring 33 inches 
in diameter. I have previously distributed specimens of 
this plant from the New Forest locality, but think that members 
may like to have these well-grown specimens of complete plants, 
particularly as they do not diminish the plant in any wild 
habitat. — L. B. Hall. 
Chenopodium polyspermum L. White Hall Farm, Little- 
port, Cambs., v.c. 29., Sept. 15, 1927 — J. E. Little. Some 
packets of this had “ var. cymosum Moq.” added in ink. 
The localities were all the same. A couple more were 
marked “ var. spicatum Moq.” — J. E. Lousley. 
Chenopodium [album var.]. Weed at Parkhurst, Lurgashall, 
West Sussex, Oct. 27, 1927. — R. J. Burdon.— The form of 
the middle leaves, and the smaller keel-less seeds, show that 
this is C. ficifolium Sm. — J. E. Little. Luxuriant specimens 
of C. ficifolium Sm. — H. W. Pugsley. Is not this C. ficifolium 
Sm. ? — I. 0. Williams. 
Salicornia stricta Dum. Mud flats, Marshfield, Monmouth.
