108 THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB OF THE BRITISH ISLES. 
endorse the name given by the collector of the specimens. Any how 
I do not know what else to call them. 5 ’ — T. R. Archer Briggs. I 
have seen and gathered pedunculata, with sub-sessile fruit, and with 
peduncules y± inches long ; I do not think there is any reliance to be 
placed on this character. I have also gathered it in water a foot 
deep, -with both states of fruiting. 
Galium, form approaching G. aristatum , Sm. — J. Cunnack, July, 
1884. Goonhilly Down, Helston. “ A poor specimen of a Mollugo 
form.’ 5 — J. G. Baker. 
Car duus tenuiflorus , Curt. Hamborough, Northumberland, Aug. 
1884. — H. E. Fox. “ Pycnocephalus = C. tenuiflorus , Curtis.” — 
J. G. Baker. 
Arctium nemorosum ? Bournemouth. — Elizabeth Lomax. “ An 
unsatisfactory specimen, probably^?, intermedium .” — C. C. Babington. 
“ Seems not to have the £ ovate 5 heads of Babington’s description. It 
is often impossible to me to name positively Arctia from a dried 
specimen. Of the one in question I can only say certainly not A. 
majus , nor typical minus ( eu-minus , Syme ).” — T. R. Archer Briggs. 
Artemisia vulgaris. L., v. coarctata , Fors. Near Howdon-on-Tyne, 
Northumberland. — W. H. Brown. Professor Babington writes, “many 
thanks for this,” hence I judge he considers it correctly named. 
Se?iecio palustris. East Norfolk, June, 1884. — F. J. Hanbury. 
Mr. Hanbury sends a large number of this rare species ; unfortunately 
immediately after gathering them, he had to leave London, and so 
the drying is not so satisfactory as he could have wished. He tells 
me the plant was in great abundance, much more so than when I 
pointed out the station to him in 1883. It is very satisfactory to find 
this rare Btitish plant “ holding its own ” so well, as, besides the above 
station, I know of two others in Norfolk and one in Suffolk. 
Solidago virgo-aurea , L., angustifolia , E.B., 3 ed. Skye, 7th Aug.. 
1884. — W. R. Linton. “ Judging from Boswell’s description in E.B. 
3 ed. of var. b., I do not think this represents it well. There seems 
little to distinguish genuina and it.” — T. R. Archer Briggs. 
Tragopogon pratensis , L., c. grandiflorus Railway - bank, Leek 
Wootton, Warwickshire, July, 1884. — H. Bromwich. Mr. Baker 
made no remark on this — I doubt it being anything more than 
pratensis type. 
Lactuca virosa, L*. Cromer, Norfolk, July, 1884. I send two or 
three specimens with leaves runcinate and cut like those of S. scariola. 
E. F. Linton. On the Norfolk coast virosa is very fine, near Holkham. 
I have seen it forming dense masses, and forming quite a feature by 
the roadside. 
Sonchus oleraceus , L., glandular. — H. Bromwich. I suppose 
correct for the form spoken of by Boswell under S. olerccceus (but 
not designated by him a variety) as rarely with glandular hairs on the 
underside of the leaves and peduncles.” — T. R. Archer Briggs. 
Sonchus asper , glandular, Sept, 1884. — H. Bromwich. “ New to 
me.” — C. C. Babington. 
For a fine series of specimens of Hieracia. the members are indebted 
to the Messrs. Linton, whose collections of these plants in 1883 and 
1884, are probably as interesting as any gathered for many years.
