“ By the tomentose pericline this should go to 0. alhidus, Bieb., 
fide DC. Prodr., which so distinguishes C. alhidus from C. pi/cvo- 
cejdtalus. Both are there placed as vars. under C. tenuijlorus. But, 
setting aside the tomentose involucre, your specimen is nearer 
pi/ciiocephalns.'” — T. E. A. Bkiggs. 
“ C. nutanti crispus ?" Downs, Lewes, Sussex. — J, H. A. 
Jenner. “ C. nutanti-crispus." Lutterworth, Leicestershire, Sep- 
tember, 2G, 1877. — F. T. Mott. Nearly typical ucanthoides. The 
down on the under side of the leaves is usually more abundant 
than it is said to be in my ‘ Manual.’ — C. C. Babington. 
Senecio palustris, DC. Fen, with Cladiuin Mariscus, lihyncho- 
sj)ora alba, Ranunculus lAnyua, Xepli radium Thcbjpteris, &c.. East 
Norfolk, July, 1877. About twenty plants were seen, some having 
only radical leaves, others in flower and fruit. — A. Bennett. 
Sunchus lacerus. Kew, Surrey, August, 1877. — J. Gf. Baker. 
An interesting form of S. uleraceus. — C. C. Babington. 
Hieracium prutense, Tausch. Koadside east of Edinburgh, 
July 11, 1877. Very abundant. Plants in my. garden produce in 
July flowers like the specimens ; in September they again flower, 
and then produce a few on the stolons, as well as in the usual 
way. — A. Craig-Christie. 
H. lasiophyllum, Koch. Craig Breidden, Montgomeryshire, on 
limestone rocks, June, 1877. — Augustin Ley. Differs considerably 
from my plant. Far nearer H. paUuhun, if not really it. — C. C. 
Babington, 
H. juranum, Fr. H. Borreri, E. B., ed. hi. Cultivated at 
Balmuto (said to be from Harehead Wood, Selkirk, Dickson). 
From Messrs. Borrer and Watson, October, 1877. — J. T. Boswell. 
H. Denari, Boswell in Trans. Bot. Soc. Edin., 1878. (See 
B. E. C. Kep., 1876, pp. 26, 27). I suppose I have the Loch 
Long plant ticketed as found by myself at Ai-roquhar, Dumfries- 
shire, August 23, 1842, marked as H. imdoides by me, but 
corrected H. strictum by Backhouse. I find no trace of ever having 
called it H. Lapeyrousii. I have iilso a specimen from Killin 
(August 1, 1844), formerly called II. denticulatum and H. strictum ; 
and one from Inverarnan, Loch Lomond, similarly named; which 
I believe are II. Denari. Also one from Glen Maliene, Antrim, 
gathered by I. Carroll, and called II. strictum by Backhouse, which 
I suppose may be H. Denari. One named H. strictum, by Mr. T. 
Drummond, from Aberdona, Clackmannan (August 12, 1875), is 
aj)pareutly correct. — C. C. Babington. 
Solanus melanocerasum , Bernh., and S. villosum, Lam. These 
varieties of Solanum niyrum are both common about Kew. For 
descriptions see ‘ Boreau, FI. du Cent.’, vol. ii., p. 466-7. S. niyrum, 
as there restricted, I have never seen. — J. G. Baker. 
“ Linaria vulyari-rejicns." Found at Sulham, near Beading, 
Berks, August, 1877. Two varieties growing plentifully and near 
together, but quite distinct, on chalk ; one kind white-striped with 
lilac and yellow throat, the other white, except yellow throat ; the 
sepals of both shorter than the spur, and generally wrinkled with 
a ring, but some with a wrinkled liorder. — Miss S. M. Payne.
