his Thymus britannicus (B.E.C. Report, 1923, pp. 230, 237) 
which is said to have the flowering shoot goniotrichous (two 
surfaces hairy and two glabrous) and leaves hirsute on the 
surface ; but for me this is only one of the many forms of the 
variable T. Serpyllum L. and certainly not a good species. —

Chenopodium viride Linn. Border of cultivation at Clevedon 
North Somerset, Oct. 12, 1928. — J. W. White. Seems to me 
correct, though usually regarded as a variety and within 
C. album L. var. viride (L.) The leaves have occasionally 
two large teeth below the middle, the rest being entire, and 
without meal or nearly so. — J. Fraser. This is more like 
C. album var. paganum Reichb. = var. virescens Wahlb. 
than var. intergerrimum Gray (Camb. Brit. Flora) = C. viride

Chenopodium opulifolium Schrader. [743]. Waste-heap, 
Bethel Lane, Hitchin, Herts., Oct., Nov., Dec., 1928. — J. E. 
Little. A character noted in Bab. Manual, Edn. IX (1904) 
by Messrs. Groves, viz. — “ leaves with usually slightly 
mucronate teeth ” is observable in these plants. Ten seeds 
arranged in a contiguous row measure 11.87 mm.; giving 
an average of 1.18 mm. Coste (FI. Fr.) gives 1.25 mm. 
He describes them as ‘ ternes ' : to me they appear somewhat 
shining, and finely punctulate, as in C. album. Like the latter 
they have a rather prominent radicle, so that the horizontal 
outline is irregular. Ascherson and Graebner describe the 
edge as ‘ stumpf. — randig ’, but the difference between this 
and ‘ ziemlich scharf ' for C. album is only slight. Within 
the limits of my observation, C. opulifolium is very late in 
flower and fruit. Dr. E. Drabble (in litt. Nov. 15, 1928) 
writes : — “ Much of our English Chenopodium opulifolium 
seems to be var. mucronulatum G. Beck. J. E. Little. 
Yes, var. mucronulatum G. Beck. — E. Drabble.
