stone, and true hirta is abundant in parts of the district. This 
Clierry-Avood plant is slightly scented, as udorata. The same, or a 
violet closely resembling this, is abundant in copses on the sand- 
stone at lireinton, Herefordshire, where no true hirta that I know 
of occurs. — Augustin Ley. I continue to have much doubt and 
difficulty about these plants. Jordan finds a dift'erence in the 
form of the leaves between V. permixta and V. sepincola. I do not 
find any difference between the specimens sent and all named 
ptennixta. — C. C. Babington. 
V. lactea, Sm. Gravelly heath. Staplers, Isle of Wight, June 
7, 1877.— Feed. Stkatton. Lizard Down and Debigna Wood, W. 
Cornwall, June, 1877. — J. Cunnack. I would rather label some of 
Mr. Stratton’s specimens as the var. b. intermedia, Wats. Still I 
believe lactea is only a variety of Linnean canina, as Babington 
makes it.— T. E. A. Beiggs. 
V. tricidor, var. Sandy ground, St. Martin’s, Scilly Islands, 
July 3, 1877.- — J. Ealfs. It is certainly, as Mr. Baker thought, 
very like Ik pctrnda, Tin., but seems to be too much branched. 
My Sicilian specimens of F. parrnla are nearly simple, as described 
by Gussone ; ours are all much branched. But other sioecimens 
from Sicily, named and distributed by Huet de Pavilion, are 
exceedingly like ours and branched. — C. C. Babington. 
F. Curtisii, Forst. Lytham sandhills, Lancashire, June, 1877. 
A hitherto (so far as I can find out) unrecorded locality, but, 
as the various examples will show, represented here most abun- 
dantly in well nigh every variety of form, and likewise gradation 
of colour. The most frequent are the wholly purple, or wholly 
yellow — the latter much resembling F. lutea, Huds., but smaller. 
The species is far more abundant at Lytham than at Southport or 
New Brighton sandhills ; indeed, though the latter place is 
mentioned in all the floras as a habitat of F. Cnrtisii, a diligent 
though fruitless search in the summers of 1868 and 1869 causes 
me to believe it to be now extinct in this locality, — J. C. Melville. 
Pobj<jala depressa, Wend. Aberdour, Fife, July 26, 1877. — D. 
Douglas. Mr. Douglas sent me a specimen of this, which I 
named P. oxijptera. On seeing a number of specimens I am now 
convinced I was wrong, and that it is P. depressa, but a form 
approaching P. oxyptera. — J. T. Boswell. 
Hypericum linarifolmm, Vahl. Christow, on rocks a mile or 
more from Eiver Teign, June, 1877. Eocks near Eiver Teign, 
Trusham, June 20 and September, 1877. — W. Moyle Eogees. 
Tilia yrandifolia, Ehrh. Very abundant in the W'oods, clothing 
the gorge of the Teme at Downton Castle, Herefordshire. It has 
all the appearance of being native here, growing mixed with oak 
and other native timber. The valley of the Teme at Dowuiton 
bears great resemblance to that of the W'ye, at Symond’s Yat, 
where this lime is also abundant, — Augustin Ley, 
Geranium nodosum, L. , Abundantly naturalized near Malvern, 
Worcestershire, July, 1877. — J. G. Melville. 
G. liohcrtkaiuvi, h., h. viodcstum. Shady rocky ravine, Christow, 
S. Devon, June 23, 1877. — W. Moyle Eogees. Although having
