22iid, 1948. — J. D. Grose. “ I refer all the enclosed specimens to V. 
arven-sis Alurr. The weak, unbranched habit of some of the material 
suggests V. arvatica Jord. or V. dereUrta< Jord., but other, more robust 
specimens might equally well be considered starved or drawn-up states 
of V. segetalis Jord. or V. deseglisei Ror. Difficulties of this sort at- 
tend almost every attempt to identify British pansies with Jordan’s 
“ a.rveiisis ” segi’egates, and, until the whole complex has been re-in- 
vestigated, T prefer to call such plants V. arveiisis Murr.” — R. D.

Spergida Morisonii Boreau. 14, East Sussex; abundant amongst 
ericaceous shrubs in a nursery, Broadwater Forest, May 15th, 1948. This 
species was described as an addition to the British flora by Pugsley in 
The Naturalist, 1948, 3-4, and with Mr D. McLintock I refound the 
locality from the descriptions there given by the elimination of all alter- 
native localities. There can therefore be no doubt that this nursery 
is the place where Pugsley originally found it but I feel that it must 
be regarded as an alien of recent introduction unless it can be found 
elsewhere under less suspicious circumstances. The plant is abundant 
over about an acre and most of the plants collected were gathered from 
a heap of rubbish thrown over the fence after weeding. — J. E. Lousi.ey.

” This may well be a hybrid of the suggested parentage although nearer 
to the bullace than the iilum. In P. insititia, typically, the peduncles 
are puberulent and the calyx lobes ciliate, with the inner surface glab- 
rous except for a few scattered hairs at the' base. On the other hand, 
P. domestica has the peduncles commonly glabrous (puberulent on some 
forms) and the calyx lobes ciliate, with the inner surface tomentose 
near the whole surface or sometimes only at the base. The specimens
