REPORT FOR I 884. 
103 
Viola tricolor , var. May, 1884. Occurred in chalky cornfields 
near Stokenchurch, Oxon.; and was also seen near Loudwater, Bucks. 
— G. C. Druce. 
Drosera obovata , M. & K. Sligachan, Skye, July 31st, 1884. At 
a certain point up the River Sligachan the hybrid intermediate was 
almost the commonest form in boggy margins of pools ; D. a?iglica 
being also frequent, D. rotundifolia rather scarce. We saw no well 
developed capsules of D. obovata ; and blackened decaying petals (?) 
covered up what capsule there was. — E. F. and W. R. Linton. 
“ Yery good obovata .” — J. G. Baker. 
Cerastium pumilum, Curt. From W. Gloucester and N. Somerset, 
which latter may be a new record. — J. W. White. “Of the three 
specimens on the sheet, with the one label, I would so name the side 
and smaller specimens only ; the larger one being, in my opinion, 
C. semidtcandrum , L.” — T. R. Archer Briggs. Mr. Briggs is certainly 
right, the specimens are mixed on many of the sheets. 
Alsine hybrida, ‘Vill.’ Lakenheath, W. Suffolk. — G. C. Druce. 
Is A. laxa, Jord. 3rd edition of Eng. Botany; the plant under the 
name of hybrida in Eng. Botany is much more glandular, the calyx 
quite broad at the base, and the capsule shorter. 
Spergularia neglecta , Syme?? Forms sent for correction. — H. E. 
Fox. “These scraps are unsatisfactory to determine. I suspect 
them to belong to a maritime form of S. rubra , and to be wrongly 
named S. neglecta .” — T. R. Archer Briggs. 
Claytonia alsinoides, Sims. Spreading rapidly on garden walks, 
&c., at North Shields, probably introduced in ship’s ballast. — W. H. 
Brown. 
Hypericum dubium. Hedge Court, Surrey, 14th Sept., 1884. To 
confirm new county record. J. of Bot., 1884, p. 300. — W. H. Beeby. 
Althcea officinalis , L. One large plant near the wood, about a 
mile from Charthill, perhaps escaped; not recorded for Northumber- 
land. — H. E. Fox. Probably an escape; I twice found it in that 
state in the South. 
Radiola millegrana , Sm. Ross Links. Not recorded in Baker 
and Tait’s Flora, “ Cheviotland ” Top. Bot. — H. E. Fox. 
Melilotus arvensis , Wallr. A casual, but not hitherto recorded, 
from Northumberland. — H. E. Fox. 
Trifolium procumbent, L. Abnormal form, with foliaceous calyces. 
— H. E. Fox. 
Sanguisorba officinalis , L. Blackwater, Surrey, 30th Aug. 1884. 
To confirm new county record. J. of Bot., 1884, p. 300. — W. H. 
Beeby. 
Poterium stenolophum , Jord. Bristol, Gloucestershire. The plant 
so named by Dr. Boswell in 1883. — J. W. White. 
Potentilla reptans , L., flora pleno. Everywhere on banks on the 
Gault formation on the lower road, Undercliffe, Folkestone, towards 
Sandgate, the flowers being all more or less double, though some were 
more so than others.— J. Cosmo Melvill. 
Rubus hemistemon. Willenhall, 5th July, 1884. — J. E. Bagnall. 
“Hardly my plant; is it a small form of suberectus?” — C. C. Babington. 
“ I should have hesitated between fissus, Lindl., and a small form of
