species into two varieties, “A. rivularis, B. lacustris.” This 
plant he names as var. lacustris f. callophylla Kuetz. = 
C. autumnalis var. lacustris f. callophylla Kuetzing in Reich. 
Icon. FI. Criticae, cent. IX, p. 44, fig. 1208 (1831). The 
upper leaves, which form a rosette at the apex, much resemble 
those of C. deflexa A. Braun, t. 4, fig. 4b, in Hegelmaier 
Monog. Gatt. Callitriche, p. 58 (1864). — A. Bennett. 
Circaea lutetiana L., var. cordifolia Lasch. Garden weed, 
Clifton, Bristol, W. Glos., v.c. 34, July 13, 1928. — Ida M. 
Roper. Yes, very good cordifolia. — E. Drabble. I would 
have no hestitation in accepting this gathering for the variety 
. . . . — J. Fraser. 
Galium verum L. var. maritimum D.C. Dunes, Great 
Yarmouth, July 7, 1928. — R. J. Burdon. No, it comes under 
the type. — E. C. Wallace. Yes, = var. littorale Br^b. 
The underground offshoots well developed. — I. M. Roper. 
Var. maritimum D.C. (var. littorale Brebisson) is a much 
smaller plant with small few-flowered cymes. It is, however, 
almost certainly a mere state ; and intermediates, of which 
Preb. Burdon's plant is one, occur. — E. Drabble. I under- 
stand that De Candolle described as var. maritimum a sand- 
dune plant, with small leaves, few flowered panicle, and 
prostrate habit. This Yarmouth plant — at least my specimen 
— by no means agrees with this. It appears to have had the 
fleshy leaves characteristic of a maritime habitat, but in all 
other respects agrees with type G. verum, Linn. — J. E. 
Lousley. 
V alerianella eriocarpa Desv. [1268] det. H. W. Pugsley. - 
Rocks below Rufus Castle, Portland, Dorset, June 12, 1928. 
— E. C. Wallace. This has very pronounced acute teeth 
to the calyx-limb of fruit, and the fruit itself is practically 
glabrous. This glabrous state of V. eriocarpa I have not 
seen before and must, I think, be rare. It is, however, 
mentioned that it occasionally occurs thus both here and on 
the Continent. — C. E. Salmon. 
Aster Tripolium L., Seedlings. In countless thousands 
on the mud of the new Salt Marsh, Berrow Flats, N. Somerset, 
Aug. 30, 1928. — H. S. Thompson. The cotyledons and the 
first leaf are very characteristic of a Composite, and being 
gathered in mud they are most likely correct. — J. Fraser. 
Aster Tripolium is one of the dominant plants of this marsh. — 
H. S. T.
