tion given in the key to the sub-species of Draba verna in 
Rouy et Foucaud. See W.B.E.C. Rept., Vol. II, 466. — Ida 
M. Roper. I should be content to leave these under E . verna 
restricted ; excluding E. majuscula, E. stenocarpa and E. 
praecox. — J. E. Little. Does not agree with Jordan’s descrip- 
tion of his leptophylla in leaf or silicle. From descriptions 
given in Journ. Bot., 1928, 234, and from specimens named by 
Dr. 0. E. Schultz, I believe Miss Roper’s plant comes under 
E. Boerhaavii Dum. In E. verna E. Meyer, the silicles have 
longer pedicels, and contain more seeds. — C. E. Salmon. 
Viola [calcarea Greg.] Wood, Wraxall, N. Somerset, 
v.c. 6, May 2, June 29, 1928. The flowers in most of the 
specimens are very small and suggest being intermediate 
between type and the later cleistogamous ones. V. dumetorum 
produces similar intermediate blooms. — Ida M. Roper. This 
is one of the small forms of hirta (not calcarea, certainly) in 
the semi-cleistogamous stage, through which all violets pass 
gradually, until they arrive at the stage where petals fail 
them. Of calcarea characters this fails in the very perceptible 
spur and in the non-conduplicate folding of the later leaves. — 
E. S. Gregory. 
Viola agrestis Jord. [Z 21]. Corn stubble, near Headley, 
Surrey, Oct. 9, 1927. — J. E. Lousley. Yes ; some of the 
plants are flowering in the early unbranched state. — E. 
Drabble. 
Viola [1265]. Field by Banstead Downs, Surrey, 
Aug. 23, 1928. — E. C. Wallace. V. subtilis Jord. (F. Dese- 
glisei f. subtilis [Jord.]). An unusually spreading form. — 
E. Drabble. I make this to be V. agrestis Jord. from its 
copious pubescence, and the foliaceous stipules with crenate 
middle lobe. Specimens with roots and lower leaves would 
have improved the tall ones for identification. — J. Fraser. 
Viola Chorley Wood, Herts., v.c. 20, July 28, 1928. — 
W. R. Sherrin. V. subtilis Jord. ( = V. Deseglisei f. subtilis). 
— E. Drabble. 
Viola lutea Huds. f. Pesneaui Lloyd. Santon Warren, 
S. Norfolk, June 11, 1926. — E. M. Reynolds and J. E. Little! 
Det. E. Drabble. Cf. Journ. Bot., 1927, 219. Yes, beautiful 
Pesneaui, well selected and prepared. In cultivation 
this Santon Warren plant is indistinguishable from V. lutea 
Huds. f. amoena Henslow from Derbyshire. I have grown
