REPORT FOR 1S82. 
65 
“ When fresh the fruit section is almost as round as inflata.” — G. C. 
Druce. I queried this being var. brachycarpa , to which Mr. J. G. 
Baker replies “ Yes.’’ Very like the plate of brachycarpa , Jord., but 
surely these forms are not worthy of distinction. — C. C. Babington. 
Is prcecox, Reich, (as I suppose I must call brachycarpa , E. B. III.), 
as D. brachycarpa is a N orth American plant quite different from the 
European. — J. T. Boswell. 
Subularia aquatica, L. Westmoreland, August, 1882. — G. C. 
Druce. 
Capsella Bursa-pastoris , Moench. var. rubella ? Near Farnham, 
Surrey, May, 1882. — W. H. Beeby. Quite doubtful for rubella, 
Reuter. — J. G. Baker 
C. Bursa-pastoris , Moench, var. gracilis. Stack-yard, Old Ingarsby, 
Leicestershire, April, 1882. “ In April the stack-yard was empty 
and completely overgrown with this peculiar form of Capsella. In 
September alterations had been made, and not a vestige of the plant 
was to be found.” — F. T. Mott. This is 1901 of the Societe 
Dauphinoise, and said on the ticket to be C. gracilis , Grenier. It is 
a form with abortive silicles. — J. G Baker. 
The plant from Cound, Salop, July, 1882, T. Butler, is a large 
form of the type. 
Lepidium Smithii , Hook., var. alatoslyla, Townsend. “This form, 
which was described by Mr. Townsend in the Hants Flora (1883), 
was first noticed by me several years ago, growing in some plenty, 
along a bank on the coast, near Redbridge, Hants,- but I have not 
met with it elsewhere. The present specimens were collected in the 
same locality by my sister, Miss M. Groves, in May and June, 1882. 
The usual notch at the apex of the pouch is entirely wanting in this 
form.” — J. Groves. “Z. Smithii without a notch is very interesting.” 
— C. C. Babington. “A very remarkable plant, probably deserving to 
be considered a sub-species if it comes true from seed. The entire 
pods are considerably more swollen below than in L. Smithii , the 
fruit pedunches are shorter, and the rachis has longer hairs. The 
name is an unfortunate one. If a nominative specific name with a 
capital letter, it ought to be Alatistylus ; if an adjective, alatistylatum .” 
— J. T. Boswell. 
Neslia paniculata , Moulsey, 1882. — E. de Crespigny. “ Is 
Bunias orientalist — J. T. Boswell. 
Viola lactea , Sm., and var. intermedia l Near Copthorne, Surrey. 
May, 1883. — W. H. Beeby. “The first is correctly named, and the 
other from the same station, growing in longer herbage, I believe to 
be Mr. Watson’s V. lactea , b. intermedia.” — J. T. Boswell. 
V. stagnina , Kit. Wicken Fen, Cambs., 30th May, 1882. — J. 
Groves. 
V. Mackaii. Sinclair Bay, Wick, Caithness, 17th June, 1882. — 
W. H. Painter (Coll., J. Grant). “ Scarcely differs from ordinary 
iricolor .” — J. G. Baker. Is eu-tricolor. — J. T. Boswell. 
V. tricolor, L. var. Paillouxii. Near Cleckheaton, Oxon, June, 
1882. — G. C. Druce. “Exactly V. . mentita, J of dan (Bill, exsicc. 
2021), except that the petals are a little longer. We seem to have 
all imaginable forms here except Paillouxii, which I cannot find,” — » 
J. Britten.
