Edited by J. G. BAKER. 
Thalictrum saxcitiU. Received this year from Mr. J. H. Jenuer 
from Newmarket, and from Dr. Boswell from the Gog Magog Hills, 
the specimens from a plant grown in his garden at Balmuto. 
Ranunculus fiuitans. River Eamont, Cumberland, Rev. W. 
Wood ; gathered by W. Hodgson. New to subprovince 25. — A 
form with floating leaves from the Teviot, near Roxburgh Castle ;

hampton, Dr. Fraser ; and Kew, Surrey, G. Nicholson.

Barbarca stricta was very plentiful this year along the Surrey

1). mtermedia. Wall at Knackersknowle, and near the fort at 
St. Budeaux, S. Devon. — T. R. A. Briggs. 
Viola qjermixta. Hedge-bank at Merstham, Surrey, W. H. 
Beeby ; and a bank near Woolhope, and a boggy wood at Brunton, 
Herefordshire, Rev. A. Ley. 
Drosem intermedia. “ A curious stalked form of this species, 
which I have named in manuscript siibcaulescens, was found this 
summer in one place near Wybunbury Bog, Cheshire. It grew in 
floating masses in a peat-ditch filled with water, in the very 
wettest portion of the moss, where it was almost impossible to 
walk, the roots in some cases floating also, as in Utricularia, 
and almost or quite free from adherence of earthy matter.” — 
J. C. Melville. 
Bulyfiala vulyaris var. (jrandiflora. Specimens so named were 
sent from Cwm Idwal, Carnarvon, Rev. A. Ley ; and chalk 
debris near Dover, A. Bennett. These I asked Mr. A. W. Bennett 
to examine, and he reports: — “The specimens marked Pohjcjala 
vulgaris var. grandijiora from Cwm Idwal, collected by Mr. A. Ley, 
are nothing but rather large-flowered specimens of the ordmary 
form. Those with the same name, gathered by Mr. A. Bennett 
near Dover, more resemble the Ben Bulbeu variety, both in the 
smaller lower leaves and fleshy habit, and in the apiculate wiry 
sepals. Still, no one who saw them together would say that 
the Kentish plant exhibited more than an approach towards the 
remarkable Irish variety.” 
Lychnis Githayo. Mr. T. Leighton, of Kew, sends through 
Mr. G. Nicholson a form gathered on the chalk doAvns near Epsom 
in which the sepals are regularly no longer than the petals, both 
being about an inch long.
