REPORT FOR 1887.

the district during the past summer I have come upon no instance of 
that species, and am inclined to think it is absent from this part of 
the country. — W. R. Linton. 
Epilohium roseum^ Schreb. Garden ground, Oxford, 1886. New 
record, 23. It is, I suppose, the var. simplex^ Moris. — G. C. Druce. 
Published as a new record in ‘Bot. Record Club Report, 1884-6.’ 
E. roseiim x montanum. Garden, Malvern Link. — R. F. 
Towndrow. “ Very interesting ; more probably E. montanum x 
tetragonumP — W. Barbey. 
E. tetragonum^ L. var. (?) I doubtfully refer to this species, a 
plant which occurred in a field, apparently only recently brought 
into cultivation, near Burghfield, Berks. It is not in good condition, 
the dry season having prejudicially affected it. The stigma was 
clavate. — G. C. Druce. “jS. tetragonum^ L. (!) ” — W. Barbey. New 
County record. 
E. ohscurum x montanum. Near Shirley, Derbyshire, 12th July, 
1887. — W. R. Linton. “I doubt if E. montanum is one of the 
parents \ look for E. teU'agonum in the neighbourhood.”-— W. 
Barbey. 
E. ohscurum, Schreb. Banks of River Trent, near its source, 
Biddulph, September, 1887. — W. H. Painter. New County record. 
CirccEa lutetiana, L., intermedia. Wood, Moccas, Herefordshire, 
13th July, 1887. — Augustin Ley. In the opinion of Mr. James 
Groves this “ belongs rather to C. alpma. The fruit resembles 
lutetiana in shape, but there are well developed bracteoles, and the 
petioles are distinctly winged.” New County record. 
C. lutetiana, L., intennedia. Shirley, Derbyshire, 26th July, 1887. 
— W. R. Linton. “Appears fairly typical C. alpinal' — J. Groves. 
New County record, 
(Enanthe pimpinelloides, L. Amongst damp wooded places 
in the Undercliff, between Rousdon and Lyme Regis, S.-E. Devon, 
July, 1887. — J. Cosmo Melvill. 
[^thusa Cynapium, L., var. segetalis (Boenngh.). In cultivated 
fields near Marston, Oxon., 23rd August, 1887. This is, I suppose, 
the var. pygmcEa, Koch, agrestis (Wallr.). It is probably only a form, 
but the attenuated bracteoles give the plant a different appearance. 
The fruit is quite normal. — G. C. Druce. 
Adoxa moschatellina, L. Rocky bank in the Via Gellia, near 
Matlock, Derbyshire, June, 1887. I send one or two examples of 
this, in case any members should ask for fruiting specimens. This 
last season is the only one in which, notwithstanding diligent search, 
I have been able to find fruit. — W. H. Purchas. 
Aster Novi-Belgii, L. Probably an escape from cultivation. It 
has now established itself in a wet place, frequently overflowed, by 
the side of the tidal New Bedford River. This plant has not spread 
by seed at present, but increases by its abundantly produced stolons. 
From the single patch or cluster of stems some hundreds of flowering 
shoots were produced last autumn. The locality seems thoroughly 
suited to the requirements of the plant, and it will be a matter ot 
great interest to see whether, in so favourable a situation, seedling':
