except in having narrower capsules with a more wedge-shaped base. 
It is remarkable for its d?'ight green, fleshy, glabrescent leaves, usually 
appressed to the ground in a regular rosette, and is a very pretty little 
plant. I believe it to be a good and perfectly distinct species, well 
apart from E. prcecox. — E. S. Marshall. 
Erophila. No. 2284. Grassy wall-top, Milford, Surrey, ist May 
1899. Not the common form of this district, though less peculiar- 
looking when dry than when growing. Petals about two and a halt 
times as long as the sepals, not veined (therefore not E. majuscula, 
Jord.). Seeds about twenty (or less) in each cell. Leaves dull, palish 
green — E. S. Marshall. “^Vhy not the type?” — E. E. Linton. 
Hesperis matronalis, Linn. Banks of the Hodder, on both the 
Yorkshire and Lancashire sides, below Whitewell, July 1899. How 
introduced I am unable to say. — J. A. Wheldon. 
Sisymbrium orientale, Linn. Weed on cultivated ground by railway, 
Clapham, Surrey, July 1899. — J. Groves. 
Camelina saiiva, Crantz, var. integrifolia, ^\Hllroth. C.fa’tida, var. 
integrifolia, Celak. In very large quantities by the railway near Hart- 
well, Northants, and extending into Bucks, July 1899. — Cl.vridge 
Druce. 
Viola odorata x hirta. Backwell Hill, North Somerset, 27th April 
1898. This sub-hirta hybrid {V. pertnixta^ Jord.) is frequent on lime- 
stone in the Bristol district. It forms dense patches, sometimes many 
feet in extent, producing dark slaty-blue flowers in abundance, and 
some capsules. The sub-odorata hybrid ( — sep incola, Jord.) is very 
much rarer. With us it has a scentless white flower {imberbis), 
far-rooting stolons, and partially abortive capsules that contain a very 
few seeds. — J. W. White. 
V. ericetormn x Rivmiaoia. Near Aberarth, Cardigan, 23rd xA.ugust 
1899. No. 2254. ^Associated with the parents. Quite sterile, and 
having the usual vegetative luxuriance of such hybrids. — E. S. 
Marshall. “Yes.” — E. E. Linton. 
V. arvensis, Murr., var. nana (DC.). Sand dunes, St. xAubin’s Bay, 
Jersey, 28th April 1899. — L. V. Lestp:r. “ Right.” — E. F. Linton. 
“ This plant, according to Mr. Baker, is certainly the var. nana of 
Lloyd’s ‘ Elore de I’Ouest,’ where it is described as a variety of V. 
tricolor. This is also the case in the‘ Prodromus,’ vol. i., p. 304, where 
it is described as '■ glabriuscula, caule brevissimo, cotyledon ibus per 
anthesim persistentibiisl V. tefiella, Poir., ‘Diet.,’ 8, p. 644, v.s.s. 
Rouy and Foucaud, in ‘ Flore France,’ place the var. na/ia under V. 
Kitaibeliana^ Roem. and Schult., ‘Syst.,’ 5, p. 383, as a variety. They 
separate from V. Kitaibeliatia, V. arvensis by the following characters:
