REPORT FOR 1897. 
539 
Poly gal a oxyptera , Reichb. Near Prince’s Risborough, Bucks, 
1897. New county record. — G. C. Druce. 
P. oxyptera, Reichb. ; var. collina , Reichb. Shell-sand near 
Tain, v.c. 106, East Ross, nth August 1897. Specimens from this 
station were determined for me by Prof. Haussknecht some years ago. 
The plant is quite prostrate, usually more than half buried in the 
sand, and therefore difficult to find without a close search. — Edward 
S. Marshall. 
Silene sp. Sand of the river Towy, Nantymwyn, Carmarthen, 
August 1897. This Silene was abundant upon river gravel and sand 
for at least two miles along the course of the Towy at Nantymwyn, 
Carmarthenshire. It has all the appearance of an intermediate 
between S. maritima , With., and S. Cucubalus , Wibel. The distance 
from the sea along the river valley is about thirty miles. I was unable 
to determine whether the Silene occurred on any of the lower courses 
of the Towy. — Augustin Ley. “A. maritima, inland form.” — 
W. R. Linton. “A. maritima, With.” — E. G. Baker. “Is S. inflata, 
Sm., var. angustifolia, Koch, not S. maritima, Sm.” — J. Freyn. “If 
this determination be correct we should write A. Cucubalus , Wibel, 
var. angustifolia (Jord.).” — G. Claridge Druce. 
S. quinquevulnera , L. Bank near Vale Castle, Guernsey, July 
1897. — W. Moyle Rogers. 
Lychnis alpina , Linn. Little Culrannoch, Forfar, July 1882. — 
G. Claridge Druce. 
Cerastium trigynum , Vill. Beinn Chaoruinn, Westerness, August 
1892. See ‘ The Annals of Scottish Natural History,’ 1892, p. 129. — 
G. Claridge Druce. 
Stellar ia aquatica, Scop. Marston, Oxfordshire, June 1897. — 
G. Claridge Druce. 
Arenaria serpyllifolia , L. Castle meadows, in the neighbourhood 
of Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, 8th June 1897. Sent as a new 
county record for 35. — Charles Bailey. 
Arenaria serpyllifolia , L., var. Lloydii (Jordan). Coast near 
Ardamine, Co. Wexford, Ireland, 14th June 1897. — E. S. Marshall. 
Sagina subulata, Presl. Near Moffat, Dumfries, 4th August 1897. 
I send this to show that the S. subulata reported with some doubt in 
the ‘Dumfries Flora’ (p. 25) by Mr. Scott Elliott is correct. S. pro- 
cumbens grows with it. — W. R. Linton. Also from Burnham Common, 
Bucks, for which county it is queried in ‘Top. Bot.’ It was in good 
condition in June last. — G. Claridge Druce. 
Spergula sativa, Boenn. Brickhill, Bucks, 1897. New county 
record.— G. C. Druce.
