Caltha palustris, L., var. Guerangerit, Boreau. Erwood, Brecon, 
15th June, 1887. — A. Ley. “I have what I believe to be Guerangerii^ 
from King’s Caple, Hereford, collected by Mr. Ley ; but I think that 
the plant now sent belongs to the type.” — W. H. Beeby. Burton 
Green, Kenilworth, Warwickshire, April, 1887.— H. Bromwich. 
Typical Caltha palustris^ according to Mr. J. G. Baker. 
Fuptar la confasa, ] or d.? This capreolate Fu maria occurred in 
arable fields near Bullingdon, Oxon, September, 1886. I have seen 
typical muralls, Sond., and confusa^ Jord. in the vicinity. This 
appeared to come nearest confusa in the flower, but the fruit is 
different from my specimens of confusa. — G. C. Druce. Specimens 
of above did not furnish material sufficiently developed to allow of 
their being determined. 
Arabls petrcea^ Lamk. In fair quantities on the quartzite screes 
of Ben Eay, in West Ross, 105, at an elevation of 2,300 to 2,800 feet. 
The glabrous form alone noted. It is a new record for this 
county.-^G. C. Druce. Published also in the “Scottish Naturalist.” 
Capsella Bursa-pastorls, Moench. I send six more sets of the 
eight described forms from Leicestershire. (See “Midland Naturalist,” 
August, 1885.) It is difficult to make the sets complete, because 
though some forms are abundant enough, others are scarce, and it has 
been necessary to include a few specimens which are not quite 
typical, this fact being noted on the labels. I have added to each 
set a specimen bearing a new form of capsule, which I had not 
observed until this year. The plant has the foliage of the stenocarpa- 
coronoplfolla form, often with the densifolla habit, but the lateral 
margins of the capsule are straight or contracted below the top, and 
the notch is very shallow. — F. T. Mott. 
C. Bursa-pastorls, Moench., form. Biddulph, September, 1887. 
— W. H. Painter. “ Mr. Painter’s plant from Biddulph is an 
intermediate between brachycarpa and bifida, with a slight tendency 
towards rubellccformls. All these mixed forms seem to be common 
everywhere. The types are less common, though abundant in some 
spots. A typical specimen should not bear capsules of more than 
one form on the same root, and should have the root leaves well 
developed.” — F. T. Mott. Prestwich (in cultivated ground), Lanca- 
shire, July, 1887. — J- Cosmo Melvill. “Mr. Melvill’s Capsella 
consists of two roots from Prestwich. Referring these to the eight 
forms described as types in the “ Flora of Leicestershire,” and in the 
“Midland Naturalist,” vol. 8, p. 217, they are neither of them quite 
typical. The smaller root comes near to a stunted example of 
stenocarpa lyrata, but the capsules have the lateral edges a little too 
straight, and the root leaves are not well developed. The larger 
root is intermediate between gracilis and riibellczformls. The large 
number of undeveloped capsules allies it with the former, while in 
the shape of the developed capsules it approaches the latter.” — 
F. T. Mott. 
Viola seplncola, Jord. Near Wotton, Surrey, 26th May, 1886. — 
W. R. Linton. 
V. tricolor, L., var. Orkney Isles, August, 1886. A remark-
