nothing of elongatus in this, that is in approaching the plant of 
Gussone. 
Ulmus nitida. Hereford, 1884. — A Ley. “ I do not know what 
U. nitida is.” — C. C. Babington. 
Quercus mtermedia, Don. Hereford, July, 1884. — A. Ley. “It 
may be intermedia .” — C. C. Babington. “ Perhaps so, but I should 
have had some doubt.” — J. G. Baker. 
Salix rubra , Huds. c. Helix. Halton, Warwick, April-September, 
1884. — H. Bromwich. “Anther large, filament so far as I can see, 
but one and this undivided. In S. rubra , Huds., the filament is often 
divided quite half-way down. Scarcely rubra, but I do not like to 
speak positively.” — Rev. J. E. Leefe. 
Salix Smithiana , var. pseudo-stipularis. Little Doward, Hereford, 
May and August, 1884. — A. Ley. “No resemblance to S. stipularis , 
Sm. I think it is viminalis var. stipularis. The stipules are often 
absent in S. viminalis. ” — Rev. J. E. Leefe. 
Salix ferruginea. Turvey, Bedfordshire, 24th April, 1884. — W. R. 
Linton. “A form, I think, of S. femuginea , but not S. ferruginea of 
E. Bot., nor S. ferruginea , Anders., which has styles so short that Dr. 
Lindley referred it to S. cinereaP — Rev. J. E. Leefe. 
Salix nigricans , var. petrcea , Borr. Glen Callater, Aberdeen, S., 
13th August, 1884. — W. R. Linton. “A good deal like it. Catkin 
longer than the floral leaves, style cloven, stigmas divided, ovarium 
smooth, but I do not observe that it is wrinkled upwards, which is 
characteristic of petrcea , and there are no stipules, which in petrcea 
are often large.” — Rev. J. E. Leefe. 
Salix repens , L. Berrow, Somerset, April-May, 1884. — J. W. 
White. “ Yes; as an aggregate.” — Rev. J. E Leefe. 
Salix repens , L. Probably the form argentea. Somerset coast. 
J. W. White. 
Salix Lapponum , L., arenaria. Canlochan, Forfar, 3rd Aug., 
1884. — W. R. Linton. “ I think so.” — Rev. J. E. Leefe. 
Salix Arbuscula , c. venulosa. Killin, Perth, Lochan-na-lai, 17th 
Aug., 1884.— W. R. Linton. “ Possibly venulosa, Forbes. Venation 
peculiar, veins prominent above.” — Rev. J. E. Leefe. 
Salix ? Glen Callater, Aberdeen, S., 13th Aug., 1884. — 
E. F. Linton. Among the Alpine Salices, I send two from Glen 
Callater, which I fail to name. One is apparently a S. nigricans 
form, from the Water-break-neck falls. The other has the leaves 
something like S. Lapponum, L., but broader and much rounded at 
the base ; this was from the head of the glen, and no fruit was found. 
— E. F. Linton. I have little doubt that Mr. Linton is right in 
referring the specimens to the species he does, the material was not 
sufficient to do more. 
Sparganium affine , Schneiz. Braemar, Aberdeenshire, 6th Aug. , 1 883. 
— W. R. Linton. “I should certainly accept this name.” — W. H. Beeby. 
Sparganium affine , Schneiz. Peaty pool, between Uig and 
Quirang, Skye, 5th Aug., 1884. — W. R. Linton. “ I believe it to be 
a northern form of S. simplex , which is often labelled affine. This 
last has unfortunately no anthers left, but the fruit is that of simplex. 
— W. H. Beeby. “ Sparganium affine , probably.” — C. C. Babington.
