Mill. The leaves of the latter plant are rather more obtuse and 
broader than are those of the Jersey specimens. — G. C. Druce. 
Viola sylvatica , Fr. Clova, Forfar, 17th July, 1890. Growing over 
low bushy hills, and noticeable for the absence of the central barren 
shoot, and for the flowers having to a great extent fallen without 
producing capsules. V. canina was growing here and there with the 
sylvatica, but I could not satisfy myself that any plants I found were 
hybrids. — Wm. R. Linton. “ Viola silvatica , Fries (Novitise, Mant. 
III., p. 1 21) was intended, by the author of the name, to represent 
V.Reichenbachiana, since he quotes Reichenbach’s figure of V. silvestris. 
According to Neuman, Wahlstedt and Murbeck’s ‘Fasciculus,’ the 
type V. silvatica , Fries, actually consisted of both V. silvestris and 
V. Riviniana , an opinion probably derived from an examination of 
Fries’ own specimens. V. silvatica , sub-sp. macrantha , Fries (l.c.), is 
V. Riviniana, and Fries quotes Reichenbach’s plate of that species. 
It is unfortunate, therefore, that an untenable name like V. silvatica, 
after once being discarded, should have been revived. Mr. Linton’s 
plant is certainly Viola Riviniana , Reich.” — W. H. Beeby. 
Arenaria gothica, Fr. The few specimens sent were gathered on 
27th of May last, at the originally defined station at Ribblehead. 
Many plants, then, were bearing old capsules, which should point to 
the biennial or perennial character of the plant. — G. Webster. Ribble- 
head, Yorks, 31st March and 5th July, 1890. — R. F. and F. P. 
Thompson. Ribblehead, W. Yorkshire, 27th June, 1890. — Walter 
W. Reeves. 
Lepigonum salinum , Fr., var. medium , Fr. Sea-wall, Sandsend, 
near Whitby, 22nd August, 1889. — R. F. Thompson. “It may go 
to this, as most (not all) of the pedicels are shorter than the capsule ; 
but the three varieties run into each other, and some are not referable 
to either on book characters.” — Arthur Bennett. 
Trifolium hybridum, L. Bridle road, Whitnash, Warwickshire, 
September, 1890. — H. Bromwich. Biddulph, Staffordshire, July, 
1890. — W. H. Painter. Langley, Staffordshire, September, 1890. — 
John Fraser. 
Rubus Tdceus, L. var. Leesii, Bab. Shirley, S. Derbyshire, June and 
July, 1890. Several plants, on some waste ground near the Vicarage. 
It may have been at some time unintentionally introduced into the 
garden along with cultivated R. Idceus, and thence has been thrown 
out or has spread to the ground it now occupies. — Wm. R. Linton. 
R. suberectus, Anders., Baker. On the roadside, north-east of 
Abergwessin, near Llanwrtyd, Breconshire, 8th October, 1890. Not 
recorded for Co. 42 in ‘Top. Bot.,’ page 137. For a large series of 
Rubi and Rosce which I collected in 1890, I am greatly indebted to 
Mr. J. G. Baker for examining and naming them. A few specimens 
of the larger number of them are sent to the Club for putting their 
localities on record ; in a small number of cases I collected individual 
specimens only, but I mention their occurrence in this report to 
preserve Mr. Baker’s labour of naming them for the counties 
specified. — Charles Bailey. 
R.fssus, Lindl. Biddulph Moor, Staffordshire, 28th July, 1890.
