crown of the root. I think it is A. prostrata, Bab., but do not know 
whether that is identical with A. triangularis , Woods, asked for in the 
desiderata list. — J. A. Wheldon. 11 A. deltoidea , prostrata , Bab.” — - 
W. R. Linton. “Is A. prostata , Bouch., ‘FI. Abbeville,’ in Hartm. 
‘ Skand. FI.,’ p. 349. I have exactly the same plant from Liverpool 
as A. Babingtonii , but A. Babingtonii is of quite a different appear- 
ance.” — J. Freyn. 
Atriplex sp. Ref. No. 1923. Golspie, East Sutherland, 6th 
August 1897. — E. S. Marshall. “Atriplex calotheca, Fries? Prob- 
ably; but I must see more, and more perfect material.”— J. Freyn. 
Atriplex sp. Ref. No. 1925. Golspie, East Sutherland, 6th 
August 1897. — E. S. Marshall. “A. Babingtonii , var. virescens, 
Lange.” — W. R. Linton. 
Polygonum Convolvulus , Linn., ‘Sp. PI.,’ 364 (1753), var. subalatum , 
V. Hall. The var . pseudo-dumetorum, H. C. Watson, ‘ Lond. Cat.’ 
ed. vi. (1861), 19. Near Oxford, July 1893. — G. Claridge Druce. 
P. aviculare, Linn., var. microspermum (Jord.). Milverton, 
Warwickshire, September 1897. — H. Bromwich. “I hardly think 
this is var. microspermum , Jord.”— E. G. Baker. “This is P. aviculare , 
L., var. P. denudatum , Desv. ap. Boreau, ‘ FI. du Centr.’ ” — J. Freyn. 
“The following is the description of P. denudatum , Desv., ‘Obs.,’ 98. 
See Boreau, ‘FI. du Centr.,’ ed. 3, vol. ii., p. 559 (1857). ‘ Tiges 
greles, couchees, k rameaux effiles etales, presque depourvus de 
feuilles excepte au sommet des ramuscules ; feuilles sublineaires 
etroites ; games laches, roussatres, dechirees au sommet en lobes 
blancs scarieux ; fleurs petites, rougeatres, a pedicelles tres courts, 
caches dans la game ; fruit petit, brun un peu luisant, finement 
chagrine, trigone oblong, attenue aux deux extremites, a faces peu 
excavees. Port du P. arenarium , W. K., que Ton distingue a ses 
fleurs plus pedicellees.’ This is identical (teste Freyn) with my 
Marcham plant distributed through the Club in 1892, which Mr. 
J. G. Baker thought, when he saw it growing, was Morale, and which 
Mr. Arth. Bennett named agrestinum , and the Rev. E. F. Linton on 
a cursory examination ventured to call rurivagum. See ‘Report,’ 
1892, p. 384, and ‘Flora Berks,’ p. 425. The fact that so many 
discordant views were entertained respecting it suggests that it was a 
form not described as British. Boreau cites as synonymous P. 
aviculare , var . polychnemwji, Reichb.” — G. C. Druce. 
Polygonum mite , Schrank. Near Water Eaton, Bucks, 1897. 
New county record. — G. C. Druce. 
Polygomim Persicaria, Linn., var. ? Near Ford, Derbyshire, 
12th August 1897. Growing with P. Persicaria and P. Hydropiper , 
both being in mature fruit, while this was immature ; also the ochrae 
of this are pilose, whilst those of the Persicaria were glabrous. — 
W. R. Linton. “ Too young.” — E. G. Baker. “ I think this may 
prove to be Persicaria x Hydropiper, ” — G. C. Druce. “Too young; 
perhaps P. mite.” — J. Freyn.
