the plants are too mature to permit of critical determination, 
but two appear to be Salicornia dolichostachya. If not this 
species they are hybrids in which the dolichostachya cha- 
racters preponderate. The remaining specimens appear 
to be partly Salicornia annua var. stricta and partly putative 
hybrids between S. annua and S. dolichostachya.— E. J. 
Salisbury. Dr. Salisbury kindly sorted the specimens into 
three lots, and I have carefully marked the labels as follows 
in order that members may know which they receive 
1. 5. annua var. stricta ■ — labels just ticked in red ink. 
2. 5. dolichostachya and 
3. Putative hybrids as above are so marked on the labels.

Rumex sanguineus L. (restr.) (Fruits). Hort. Hitchin, 
Herts., Oct. 2, 1926. Some members may like to grow this 
Rumex. I have never seen it in a truly wild state. — T. E.

Rumex palustr is Sm. (Fruits, 741). Gravel pit, Brickyard 
Wood, Wallington, W. Norfolk, Sept. 10, 1927. — J. E. Little. 
Rumex ohtusifolius x pulcher [685]. Cricket Field, 
Hitchin, Herts., Sept. 3, 1926, June 8 and August 1, 1927. — 
J. E. Little. The present plants differ from R. pulcher in the 
same field by the less flexuous straighter branches and in 
the greater proportion of unbranched stem at the base. They 
are taller and more upright growing. But they also differ 
from the R. ohtusifolius x pidclier [581], distributed in 1923, 
by the smaller development of the stem leaves which hardly 
differ from those of R. pulcher. 
I sent a sheet of the Sept, gathering to Dr. K. Rechinger 
of Vienna, who replied (in lift. 22 iii. 27) : — “ [685] ist R. 
ohtusifolius x pulcher.” — J. E. Little. 
Rumex Acetosella L. (Fruits) (a) angiocarpus (Murb.) and 
(b) acetoselloides (Bab). Parkstone, Dorset, Aug. 9, 1927. 
— L. B. Hall and J. E. Little. The var. (b) was gathered 
with (a), and until they were dry and rubbed out I did not 
become aware of its occurrence, intermixed with the commoner 
form, but apparently less abundant. — J. E. Little.
