REPORT FOR 1 899.

Buda media, Dum. Salt marsh by the Wyre, Preesall, W. Lancs., 
9th August 1899. — J* A- Wheldon. “Right.” — W. R. L. 
B. media, Dum., var. glandulosa, mihi. Hay Cliffs, Dover, Sept. 
1899. This curious variety of B. media grew on the bare chalk cliff 
of Hay, Dover, probably on a slightly more impervious band, in 
district 7 of the ‘Flora of Kent,’ where this plant is referred to on p. 67. 
It was originally referred to in the ‘ Phytologist,’ n.s., vol. v., p. 33, but 
the authors of the ‘ Flora of Kent ’ say that the station seems an 
unlikely one for B. media or B. marina, and they would not be sur- 
prised if it proves to be B. rupestris. As a matter of fact, the 
specimen belongs to B. media, but it differs from the type not only in 
its place of growth but in having a woody root-stock, and the pedicels, 
instead of having glabrous calices, are distinctly glandular. I have, 
therefore, ventured to give it the above name whether it be considered 
a variety either under the generic names Buda, Arenaria, Tissa, or 
Spergularia, and, with the alteration of the terminal letter, under 
Lepigonum or Urion, for it is blessed with an astounding variety of 
synonyms. In the situation I have described the plant is exposed to 
the full rays of the sun and the fierce winds from the Channel. How 
far these are factors in producing the alterations in structure one is at 
present unable to say, but we may be sure that they are not without 
influence. The bare cliffs also yield a specimen of Euphorbia amyg- 
dala ides, which grew out of the bare stone in full exposure. Near the 
summit a very prostrate form of Jimiperus communis is plentiful, and 
this is not given for district 7 in the ‘ Flora of Kent.’ Between this 
place and the town of Dover I noticed Malva silvestris, var. lasio- 
carpa. — G. Claridge Druce. 
Hypericum perforatum, Linn., form. Coppice on chalk, near 
Guildford, Surrey, 19th August 1899. The narrow-leaved, rather 
glaucous, form of our chalk-hill thickets, which, I suppose, is referable 
to var. angustifolium, DC. — J. Groves. “Approaching the var. 
angustifolium, but not it.” — E. F. and W. R. L. 
Malva borealis, Wallr. On road ballast near Morecambe, W. 
Lancs., September 1899. — I. A. Wheldon. “Correct: = pusilla, 
Sm.”— E. F. Linton. 
Tilia platyphyllos, Scop. Woods, Caplar, Herefordshire, 17th 
August 1899. Very possibly native at this station, but not certainly 
so. — A. Ley. “Right.” — E. F. Linton. 
Geranium purpureum, Vill. Dry sunny banks, St. Ouen’s, Jersey, 
2 1 St May 1899. This plant seems to correspond well with the very full 
description of 6^. Vill., in Lowe’s ‘Flora of Madeira,’ except 
that the carpels are downy, whereas Lowe describes them as smooth. 
The Rev. R. P. Murray tells me that it is exactly the form which is 
abundant in Portugal. It is distinguished from G. Robe?’tianum, Linn., 
by (i) the erect habit; (2) the absence of the villous hairs, and
