Papaver Rhceas, L., var. Pryorii , mihL Culham, Berks, June, 
1888, G. C. Druce. In the ‘Flora of Oxfordshire,’ p. 18, I drew 
attention to the occurrence of a form with red hairs on the 
peduncles, which I had long noticed not only in Oxon but in several 
other midland counties. It is readily distinguished from the type 
by its peduncles, especially the upper portion, being covered with 
crimson hairs. This character is best seen before the flowers expand. 
As a similar form is noted in the (posthumous) ‘Flora of Herts,’ I 
should like the form, which I had in MS. called ruficauHs , to bear 
the name of the talented author of that work, to whose extensive 
knowledge of botanical literature and critical discrimination we are 
all indebted. — Ed. 
P. dubium , L., var. Railway bank, Milverton, Warwickshire, 
July, 1888. — H. Bromwich. “Is P. Rhceas, var. Icevigatum , not 
dubium?— J. G. Baker. In the ‘ Prodromus ’ there is included a 
Caucasian plant, P. Icevigatum , M. Bieb., which Marschall a Bieber- 
stein first described in ‘FI. Tr. Cauc.,’ vol. iii. 364 (1819), as “P. 
capsulis oblongis calycibusque glabris, caule multifloro setis raris- 
simis subhispidis, foliis pinnatifidis incisis subpilosis.” He gives 
dubium as its ally, to which, rather than to P. Rhceas , L., I should 
have referred it. I do not remember seeing it recorded as a British 
casual before. — Ed. 
Corydalis claviculata , DC. Wood at Holbrook, Suffolk, July, 
1888.— H. E. Fox. 
Fumaria confusa , Jord. Bullingdon, Oxon, September, 1888. — 
G. Claridge Druce. “Probably confusa?— J. G. Baker. Mr. 
James Groves would name it F. Borcei. “ In my opinion clearly 
Borcei. The neck of fruit is of that, not of confusa ; yet I admit the 
apex is like confusa. Habit and general character point to Borced , 
not confusa?- — Arth. Bennett. This plant has also been named by 
authorities as F. officinalis , F. muralis , and F. pallidiflora. — Ed. 
New County record. 
F. parviflora , Lamk. Lowbury, Berks, June, 1888. — G. Claridge 
Druce. 
Nasturtium officinale, R. Br., var. microphyllum , Reichb. (Var. 
prcecox , S. Gray, is an earlier name.) Headingtonwick, Oxon, July, 
1886. — G. C. Druce. 
Barb area , form approaching arcuata. By Shirley Brook, S. 
Derbyshire, June, 1888. — W. R. Linton. “An ordinary vulgaris 
form.” — J. G. Baker. Is the form of vulgaris which Mr. Thistleton- 
Dyer mentions in ‘ Britten’s Cont. to Berks Flora ’ as occurring 
about Oxford, and there called var. divaricata. — Ed. 
B. prcecox , R. Br. Heyford, Oxon, July, 1886. — G. Claridge 
Druce. 
Arabis petrcea, Lamk., var. hispida , DC. Braeriach, Easterness, 
August, 1888. When growing on ledges and in rock fissures this 
plant was usually glabrous. The hispid form grew among moss and 
grass, on the north slopes of Braeriach, to the exclusion of the 
glabrous form. — G. Claridge Druce. 
A. petrcea, Lamk , var. grandifolia, mihi. Ben Laoigh, Argyll and
