204 THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB OF THE BRITISH ISLES. 
after writing to Mr. Griffith I received this note from Mr. W. W. 
Reeves, “ Correction in Report for 1886, p. 146. The plant which I 
sent to the Club as Lavalera sylvestris I have had since under cultiva- 
tion, and proved it to be a species of Malva .” He since writes me 
that his and Mr. Griffith’s seeds probably came from the same 
locality in Guernsey. As the 4 Students’ Flora ’ gives no description 
of Lavatera sylvestris , I may say it was first described and figured in 
Brotero’s ‘Flora Lusit.,’ and ‘ Phytograph Lusit. Select.’ It may be 
at once distinguished from Malva sylvestris by its generic characters, 
which are rather artificial, viz., the epicalyx in Lavatera is deeply 
tripartite, while but distinctly three-leaved in Malva , although these 
are united at the base. The foliage of Lavatera is paler and duller, 
owing to its stellate hairiness. The fruit is larger, that is wider, in 
Malva . from the more numerous cocci. It is figured and described 
in ‘ Journ. Bot.’ 1877, p. 2^0: and described in the 8th edition of 
the ‘ Manual.’— Ed.

moreland, August, 1888. H. E. Fox. 
Acer campestre , L., var. hebecarpum, DC. South Stoke, Oxon, 
July, 1888. — G. C. Druce. The description of this (the prevailing 
form in Britain, as far as my experience goes,) in the ‘ Prodromus ’ 
is var. a. hebecarpum, DC., “fructibus velutino-pubescentibus = A. 
campestre , Wallr. in litt. Tratt. Arch. i. n. 7, ic.” Var. b. “ collinum 
(Wallr. in litt.) fructibus glabris, foliorum lobis obtusis, floribus 
minoribus,” occurs “in Gallia”; and a third variety, i.e., c. austriacum , 
Tratt., l.c.; fructibus glabris, foliorum lobis subacuminatis, floribus 
majoribus,” is localised in Austria. The position of this variety in 
Lond. Cat. scarcely appears correct, as I suppose it is really the 
type. — Ed. 
Melilotus officinalis, Lamk. (non Desrousseaux). Oxford, July, 
1886. — G. C. Druce. 
Trifolium ochroleucon , Huds. Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, July, 
1888.— H. E. Fox. 
T Molinerii, Balb. Lizard Head, Cornwall, June, 1873 - — W. 
Moyle Rogers. Portelet Isle, Jersey, June, 1877. — G. C. Druce. 
T. striatum , var. erectum , Leighton. Woodloes, Warwickshire, 
June, 1888. — H. Bromwich. Not Leighton’s plant described 
in ‘FI. Salop.,’ p. 363, “stems 12 inches or more high, copiously 
branched from the base, erect or ascending. Leaves very distant, 
lower ones on rather long petioles, leaflets obcordato-cuneate, upper 
ones on shorter petioles or nearly sessile, leaflets obovato-eliptical, all 
sinuato-denticulate in the upper portion. Heads of flowers much 
longer, ovate, sub-conical.” The heads in these specimens are even 
shorter than usual, the plant is only stunted, erect, striatum, receding, 
in fact, from the type one way, as true eredum does in the other. 
The Rev. W. A. Leighton had the true plant from Salop, Barmouth, 
and Naples. It occurs in Berks and Northants ! — Ed.
