disthibutor’s report for 1948 
]{idens frondosa L. 41, Glam.; abundant on bomI)ed sites in the 
centre of Swansea, Sept. 5th, 1948. A few days earlier Miss Vachell 
had show7i this plant to Mr D. McClintock and myself growing in 
abundance by the canal at Cardiff. At Swansea most of the ])lant.s 
are growing in very much drier places and are generally much smaller 
(5-30 cms.) though here and there much larger plants occur. — J. E. 
liOUSEEY. 
Arfeniisin . 70, Cumberland; railway siding, Silloth docks, 
Aug. 8th, 1948. — C. W. Muirhead, comm. Carlisle Museum. 
Seiiecin vvlgoris L. var. radiafva Koch. 39, Staffs.; originally from 
Sbobnall Maltings, Burton-on-Trent, 1946, cidtivated at Sanderstead, 
Surrey, Sowing “ H,” April 19th (Bef. No. 2514), and April 25th, 1948 
(Ref. No. 2517). This sowing is the progeny of one plant “ selfed.” 
This strain differs from the S])ondon strain (Sowing “ K ”) in having 
blunt rays that soon roll back; in the Si)ondon strain (Sowing “ H ”) 
they are slightly cucullate at the apex, and so are more rigid. Neither 
strain .shows much variability. Probably both this and the Spondon 
.straiji would come under Trow’s segregate erectus. — 14. P. Yottno. 
S>>nerio vvJguris L. var. radiat'us Koch. 57, Derby.; originally 
from British Celenese site, Spondon, 1946, cultivated at Sanderstead, 
Surrey (Sowing “ K ”), April 19th (Ref. No. 2515), April 25th (Ref. 
No. 2516), and May 14th, 1948 (Hef. No. 2534). This sowing is also the 
])i'ogeny of one ])lant, “ selfed.” — D. P. Young. 
Ilieracium . 70, Cumberland; roadside wall, Armathwaite Hall, 
Ba.ssenthwaite, May 17th, 1948. — C. W. Muirheau, comm. Carlisle 
Museum. 
Cpiitavrium p^ilcliellmn (Sw.) E. H. L. Kr. (Ref. No. 6108.) 14, 
S. SiLssex ; clayey i-idge in Darvel Wood, Netherfield, Aug. 28th, 1948. 
— E. C. Wallace. “ There is no doubt that the specimens come under 
C. pulchell'um (Swartz) Druce var. rdmosissimwn (Gaud.) Gilmour.” — 
J. S. L. Gilmour. 
jRJiinanthus minor Ehrh. (Ref. No. 6854.) 39, Staffs.; in long gra.ss 
by the roadside, Darmouth Avenue, Newcastle, June 18th, 1947. 
Corollas bright yellow with blue teeth. — E. S. Edees. “ I cannot call 
this anything but It. minor Ehrh. Some plants have a pair of ‘ inter- 
calary ’ leaves, but they are not what has been called J?. stenophyllns 
(Schur) Druce.” — A. J. Wilmott. 
Mentha spicata Huds. Small form. 1, W. Cornwall; roadside waste 
ground, Lambourne Hill, Perranzabuloe, Aug. 23rd, 1948. — F. Ril-

Mentha spicata L. em. Huds.” — R. Graham.
