presentent beaucoup de ressemblance et doivent etre tres-rapproches 
Fun de Fautre. Dans la distribution des plantes de 1888 (Bot. Exch. 
Club) il y avait un numero de M. Linton (No. 25) provenant de 
Bradley qui est a peu pres le meme que votre No. 253, seulement les 
pedicelles sont lisses ainsi que les receptacles. J’avais dit de ce No. 25, 
‘ Probablement une variete glanduleuse du R. coriifolia .’ M. Baker 
avait rapporte ce No. 25 a son R. Watsoni, or le R. Watsoni n’a pas 
de folioles glanduleuses en dessous. Ces Nos. 253 et 252 de 1890 
et le No. 25 de 1888 sont vraisemblablement des variations du R. 
coriifolia ; variations fort interessantes et qui meritent d’etre bien 
etudiees. Les divisions ou les varietes que M. Baker a decrites sous 
le nom Watsoni , Borreri , Bakeri sont mal delimitees et sont 
constitutes de formes peu homogenes. Un nouveau travail approfondi 
devrait etre fait sur ce groupe des Roses britanniques comme sur 
toutes les Roses de votre pays.” — F. Crepin. 
Rosa Watsoni , Baker ; Baker. On the road between Llandrindod 
and Cefnllys, near Pentref, Radnorshire, 6th October, 1890. — 
Charles Bailey. “ One of the four specimens sent is doubtful ; 
Mr. Baker does not confirm the name. The other three specimens 
are R. mollis , Sm., type.” — E. F. Linton. 
R. arvensis, Huds. var. Chesterton Wood, Warwickshire, Sept., 
1890. — H. Bromwich. R. arvensis , var. gallicoides , Desegl. Stydd, 
S. Derbyshire, 10th August, 1889. Mr. Baker puts forward the 
supposition that this is a hybrid (Report, p. 261.) Per contra no two 
species of rose exist in the neighbourhood which could produce such 
a form ; nor are there any indications of hybridity about it.— Wm. R. 
Linton. “ Ces deux formes appartiennent a la var. gallicoides du 
R. arvensis , Huds. ( = R. gallicoides , Desegl. Cat. rais., p. 49, 
No. 22).” — F. Crepin. 
Cratcegus Oxyacantha , L., var. laciniata , Wallr. Near Felyn 
Fawr, Bethesda, Carnarvonshire, Oct., 1890. — Jno. E. Griffith. 
“ I fail to see how the specimen agrees with the description, ‘ foliis 
profunde trifidis laciniatisque laciniis subacutis serratis. 5 ” — Arthur 
Bennett. 
Saxifraga Geum , L. var. Naturalized on the sides of some of 
the “potholes” in the limestone, Chapel-le-Dale, Mid- west Yorks, 
5th July, 1890. If the plant was originally introduced, it has since 
made itself perfectly at home, hanging in long, beautiful festoons 
over the limestone rocks that form the sides of these gruesome 
places. — R. F. & F. P. Thompson. “A form of S. hirsuta , I,., 
bearing the same relation to the usual Irish type that the very crenate 
S. Geum of Thorp Arch bears to its corresponding Irish type. The 
margin of the leaf in this plant is rather crenate than dentate ; which 
is also the case with the cultivated specimens of A. hirsuta , L., sent 
out this time by the Rev. A. Ley ; and in this respect neither plant 
is typical S. hirsuta , which has its leaves sharply dentate.” — E. F. 
Linton. “ Saxifraga hirsuta. I have a specimen from Hungry 
Hill, near Bantry, Co. Cork, approaching this in its serratures, but 
otherwise not nearly so fine. It is curious that the cultivated 
S. umbrosa , which is not found in Ireland, has crenate leaves ; and
