REPORT FOR I 889 
245 
Viola canina x Riviniana . Hort. Reigate ; root from near 
Farnham, July, 1889. — W. H. Beeby. 
V. lactea x canina. Hort. Reigate ; root from Hedge Court, 
28th July, 1889. — W. H. Beeby. Mr. Arthur Bennett also sends 
this and writes : — “ I have in writing the labels unfortunately reversed 
the names, but the specimens are from the root named in Mr. 
Beeby’s paper in ‘Journal of Botany, 1889,’ page 226. These are 
the later summer and autumnal state. I hope to supplement them 
next year by the summer flowering stage. 5 ’ 
Poly gala serpyllacea , Weihe, var. with upper part of the plant 
ciliate. Glen Fiadh, Clova, Forfar, 13th July, 1889. — E. F. & W. R. 
Linton. This does not seem to be more hairy than usual; I 
certainly should not call it ciliate. — J. G. 
Arenaria hybrida , Vill. Near Thetford, Norfolk, 14th June, 
1889. — H. D. Geldart. “Mr. Geldart sent me specimens which 
I so named, but I think it is hardly the plant of the Rev. W. W. 
Newbould from Redneck Heath. 55 — A. Bennett. 
Sagina mariiima , Don, var. densa , Jord. (Two forms.) Sandy 
sea-shore Ballybunnion, Co. Kerry, 25th July, 1885. — S. A. Stewart. 
“ The prostrate plant I have called densa for Mr. Stewart. It connects 
the Christchurch (Hants) plant with debilis from the Hebrides. The 
other specimen would, I believe, have been called stricta by 
Fries. 55 — C. C. Babington. 
S. apetala , Linn., var. prostrata , Bab. Gravel walks, Milverton, 
Warwickshire, August, 1888. — H. Bromwich. “I think so, but 
only a form produced by the place of growth, although marked 
there. 55 — C. C. Babington. 
Impatiens parviflora, DC. Railway bank between Disley and 
Whaley Bridge, Cheshire, 27th July, 1889. — Charles Bailey. 
Ononis repens L. var. horrida Lange ! Notes on the wild plant 
will be found at pp. 66-67 of the 1882 Report. The specimens now 
sent are from seeds gathered on Yarmouth Denes, and sown in 
ordinary garden soil with a slight admixture of Redhill sand. The 
second year they commenced to form trailing branches, and in 1889 
they flowered profusely ; at the same time the branches that 
ultimately ended in a flower spike produced spines, thus agreeing 
with the wild plant, which I had observed never produced spines 
until the third year of growth from the seed ! It seems to me that 
these spines are produced each year by the branches that flower ; 
this may be modified next year, but at present it seems to point to 
such being the case. As will be seen these cultivated specimens are 
greener, less robust (but this may be from being only seedlings) than 
the wild examples I distributed in 1882, but they seem quite as viscid. 
I dried a series in flower and fruit for the members. I hope to 
supplement these in a few years time by examples from the same 
plants. — Arthur Bennett. 
Medicago denticulata , Willd. var. lappacea (Lam.) Waste ground, 
Kenilworth, Warwickshire, Sept. 1889. — H. Bromwich. “This seems 
the plant of the Flora of France (Gren. and Godr.)” — A. Bennett. 
“ Typical deniiculataP — J. G. Baker.
