76 the BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB OP THE BRITISH ISLES. 
Rumex rupestris, Le Gall. Braunton Burrows, N. Devon, 14th 
Sept., 1882. — A. Ley. 
R. nemorosus , var. tngranulatus. Mud flats, near Beaulieu, 
Hants, 10th August, 1882. — A. Ley. Perhaps rightly named, but I 
suspect a hybrid between conglomerates and nemorosus. — J. T. Boswell. 
R. crispus, L. var. elongates . Tidal banks of the Itchen, near 
Southampton, nth August, 1882. Plentiful for a few hundred yards 
of the tidal river bank ; but I did not notice it elsewhere, though 
botanising carefully down the river. It had all the characteristics of 
the plant as it occurs at Tinterne, Monmouthshire, though less 
fine and well grown. — Augustin Ley. In reply to my naming this 
plant Hydrolapathum , Mr. J. G. Baker replies : “ Evidently Hydro • 
lap album, not crispusP “ R. Hydrolapathum ; certainly nothing to 
do with elongates or any form of crispusP — J. T. Boswell. 
Asarum europczum , L. Deerfold Forest, Wigmore, Herefordshire, 
20th April, 1882. — T Butler. 
Salix hippophaefolia , Thuil. River side, near Ross, Herefordshire, 
1st April and 26th June, 1882. I send specimens of a Salix under 
this name on the authority of Mr. Leefe, who, I believe, was inclined 
to consider it this species. Its bisexual catkins are remarkable. It 
was pointed out to me by the Rev. W. H. Purchas. — Augustin Ley. 
Cuttings of this interesting willow were supplied to me last year by 
the kindness of the Rev. W. H. Purchas, and also of Mr. Ley 
himself. I think this may be a form of S. hippophaefolia , which has 
long been suspected to grow near Ross. The form is curiously (and, 
I am told, constantly) bisexual ; but whether diandrous, as Koch 
says, distinguishing it thus from the triandrous S. undulata , Ehrh., 
the single specimen, and my impaired eyesight, do not enable me to 
determine. The male of what I take to be the S. hippophaefolia was 
found by Dr. Fraser near Wolverhampton, and a male plant named 
S. fusca was sent to me from Woburn a good many years ago, which 
I take to be hippophaefolia. — J. E. Leefe. Right, I believe. — J. T. 
Boswell. 
S. viminalis , L., var. intricata. River side near Ross, Hereford- 
shire, 1st April and 26th June, 1882. — A. Ley. In the var. intricata 
the style is very short, and the stigmas from the first cloven, reflexed 
and entangled. The leaves also are broader in intricata than is usual 
in S. viminalis. — J. E. Leefe. 
S. cinerea , L., var. oleifolia ? The plant I send under this name 
from Dorstone, Herefordshire, clearly belonged to the cinerea group 
by the short styles, the remains of which I was able to observe when 
picking it. — Augustin Ley. 
S. oleifolia. Pit near Hatton, Warwickshire, April and September, 
1882.- — H. Bromwich. Catkins much like those of S. oleifolia pub- 
lished in “S. Brit.” exsic., No. 44 which was said by Mr. Borrer to be 
exactly Smith’s oleifolia ; but the Warwickshire specimens have no 
stipules, and though the leaves are tapering towards the base, which 
is characteristic of oleifolia, they are less broad above the middle, i.e., 
less obovate than usual. — J. E. Leefe. 
S. Caprea, L. var. sphacelata. (?) Wood, Westhope Hill, Hereford- 
shire, 29th May, 1882. — A. Ley. A small variety, I think, of S. 
Caprea. — J. E. Leefe.
