in 1837 and 1838, or that I could have overlooked it so late as 
1853. — J. T. Boswell. 
Matricaria inodora, Linn., c. maritinia. Shore of the Mersey, 
Speke, Lancashire. August 19, 1876.— L Burton. Correctly 
named. — J. T. Boswell. 
Scnccio vuhjaris, L. (var. hibcrnica The plants sent were 
gathered by me on the 17th May, 1876, at two stations in Whitsand 
Bay, E. Cornwall, about two miles distant from each other. Both 
were on the cliff, 40-100 feet, above high water mark, and Avere in 
very tolerable abundance. The ray Avas, I believe, flat in some of 
my plants ; but I cannot take upon myself to assert that it was so 
in all. I Avas ignorant, when I gathered it, of the characters of 
var. Mbernica, and so did not make any note of the dflection of the 
ray in the fresh plant. Neither of the places where I gathered 
the plant were the same as Mr. Briggs’s locality at Tregantle. — 
Augustin Ley. It is impossible to judge of the direction of the 
ray in the dried plants, but in those sent by the Eev. A. Ley the 
ray seems considerably shorter than in Mr. Carrol’s Irish plant ; 
indeed they are quite like the var. radiata of the Channel Islands. 
This only differs hum var. hibernica, as far as I can see, in having 
shorter florets always revolute. — J. T. Boswell. 
Domnicnm jdanta<iincum, Linn. In fair quantity on a wooded 
bank, facing the Clyde, BotliAvell Woods, Lanarkshire. In the 
same station for many years. June, 1876. — G. Horn. Harperton, 
Eoxburgh, May, 1874, and Melrose, Eoxburgh, May, 1875 ; both 
stations in Avoods. Appears to have been long established at 
Melrose. — Andreav Brotherston. 
Hypoclmris </labra, Linn. Hedgebank just beyond the first 
hedgerow on right hand side of main road from Hoylake to Little 
Meols, Hoylake, Wirral, Cheshire, July 1, 1876. A defined station 
to affirm a record for Wirral made in 1837. — J. Harbord Lewis. 
Taraxacmn officinale, Wigg., b. erythrospermum. Camside, 
Sowerby, near Thirsk, N.E. Yorks. May, 1876. — T. J. Foggitt. 
Sonc/ms arvensis, Linn., b. glabra. Thames side, between Putney 
and Hammersmith, Surrey, August, 1873. I see your Desiderata 
List asks for this certainly rare form. I send a specimen. 1 never 
gathered the plant elsewhere. Here I rather impute its glabrous- 
ness to being tide-Avashed.- — J. L. Warren. 
Crepia taraxacifolia, Thuil., seems still spreading (see ‘Top. 
Bot.,’ part ii., p. 637) in South Devon. Early in May, 1876, I 
found two or three plants not far from a farmhouse near Sidmouth, 
and ten days later Mr. Briggs and I gathered several specimens on 
the raih'oad by Dawlish Warren. — W. Moyle Eogers. 
C. nicrcensis, Balb. Upland pasture, Harlow Hill, near Harro- 
gate, M. W. York, June 30th, 1876. Eor the last eight or ten 
years when at Harrogate, I had noticed in the above pasture a 
peculiar Crejns Avhich I could never satisfy myself to be “ rirens.” 
July 5th, this year, 1876, I sent a feAV dried specimens of it to Mr. 
J. G. Baker, for examination. I received the following reply : 
“I do not feel sure about the Orepis. The involucre is much more 
glandular than in ordinary virens. There is a closely- allied species
