July 9, 1877. — T. E. A. Briggs. Of course this plant from 
Marsh Mill is not typical. A specimen of the same from Crabtree 
collected in July, 18G5, is marked in my herb, as authentic 
E. rhcnanm, MiilL, on the authority of Genevier. I cannot find 
any descrijition of E. rhmanus, and have no foreign specimen of it. 
It differs in several respects from true E Bloxamii, of which 
I have a good series before me from Lees and Bloxam, by its much 
more hairy stem, — indeed, hairiness throughout, — but especially 
by its beautiful pyramidal, open, nearly naked panicle, with long 
corymbose few-flowered branches which are quite simple in 
then- lower part. It should not go out as E. Bloxamii. without 
note or comment, as it would convey a wrong idea of that plant. — 
C. C. Babington. 
“ /i. scaber, Weihe?” Neighbourhood of St. Budeaux, S. 
Devon, 1877.^ — -T. E. A. Briggs. I think that this may be correct. 
Its very slightly-armed stem is remarkable, and in that respect I 
have nothing like it. — C. C. Babington.

“ E. fusco-ater, AVeihe.” Broomsgrove Lickey, Worcester,

“ E. fusco-ater, AVeihe.” Heslington, near York, September, 
1877. — Geo. AVebster. E. Koehleri, a. — G. C. Babington. 
“ E. tuherculatus, Bab.” Kew, Surrey, July, 1877.^ — J. G. 
Baker. Not my plant, nor much like it. It is very like E. Bal- 
fourianus, especially resembling a plant so named by me in the 
Herb. Borrer from Eridge AVood, near Tonbridge AVells ; indeed 
almost the only difference is found in the more furrowed stem of 
the Kew plant now issued. The lower part of the stem of typical 
E. Balfonrianus is not furroAved, although its upper part often is so. 
I have never seen it Avith so furrowed a stem as in this ffom KeAV. 
— C. C. Babington. 
Eosa fcctida. Bast. Hedge, Thames Ditton, Surrey, September, 
1877. — H. Groa’es. a form of tomentosa allied to scahriuscula and 
sijlvestris. — T. E. A. Briggs. 
E. micrantha, Sm. Hedge on roadside near E. Muirdean, 
Eoxburgh, October, 1877. Bank on roadside betAveen Kelso and 
Newthorn, BerAvickshire, August and October, 1877. Eoadside 
between Kelso and Yetholm, Eoxburgh, November 2, 1877 and 
1878. I send specimens of this from three stations; those from 
the tAVO last named have hairy styles. — Andreaa'^ Brotherston, 
E. scvticosa, Ach. Near KnoAvle, AATirwickshire, July 28, 1877. 
It occurs in some abundance, but I have only been able to send 
a very limited supply OAAung to the paucity of floAvers this year. — 
J. E. Bagnall. 
E. decijdens, Dum. Near Sutton, AVar wick shire, 1877. This 
was first found in the county by the Eev. A. Bloxam near Harboro’ 
Magna. The specimens are from a iicav station, Avhere I found 
several bushes. It is not Avdiat I should consider the typical form,
