‘Topogr. Bot.,’ p. 14 1 . — Charles Bailey. R. villicaulis , Koehl. 
Ashopton, N.E. Derby, 19th July, 1893. The Rev. W. H. Purchas 
gathered this with me and agreed to the name. It is the first typical 
villicaulis I have seen for Derbyshire. — W m. R. Linton. I believe all 
three to be good var. Selmeri , Lindeb., which I have gathered near 
Bugsworth and New Mills, N.W. Derby. — W. M. R. 
R. dumnoniensis , Bab. Branksome Park, Dorset, 15th June, 
1893. — W. M. Rogers Open ground by Piddle Wood, Dorset, 
24th August, 1891 ; and Wareham (roadside towards Bere), Dorset, 
15th September, 1891.— E. F. Linton. Yes. — W. M. R. 
R. erythrinus , Genev . ; E. F. Linton On the banks of the canal 
between Limpley Stoke and Freshford, N.W. Wilts, 27th July, 1893. 
— Charles Bailey. Yes. — W. M. R. 
R. latifolius, Bab. Near Ty Croes .Station, Anglesey, August, 
1893. — J. E. Griffith. “ I have named this plant for Mr. Griffith. 
It resembles in every respect a specimen sent by Mr. Bloxam as 
latifolius.” — Dr. Focke. Seen by Dr. Focke and me in situ in August, 
1894. — W. M. R. 
R. latifolius , Bab. Near Bethesda, July, 1893. Dr. Focke 
remarks, “a variety with greyish underside of the leaves.” — J. E. 
Griffith. Does not this hairy-stemmed plant belong rather to the 
Silva tici ? — W. M. R. “Near our German R. silvaticus , which has, 
however, a more compound panicle, and a somewhat different 
foliage.” — Dr. Focke. Others besides myself will, I venture to think, 
be interested in the following remarks which Dr. Focke kindly wrote 
to me on this species in December last : “ I am disposed to believe 
in the existence of such a species as R. latifolius. I know it from 
the description, and from a specimen once sent by Mr. Bloxam. I 
saw a few more specimens, which I put under that species, from 
Scotland and N. England. The general habit of the plant reminds 
one of R. macrophyllus , or R. leucandrus , but the panicle usually is 
very simple, and the lateral leaflets are nearly sessile. The leaves of 
the typical plant are green beneath, but I received a specimen from 
North Wales, gathered by Mr. Griffith, having some greyish felt on 
the underside of the young leaves.” If it was at Bethesda that Mr. 
Griffith gathered his latifoiius with greyish felted leaves, perhaps it 
grows there, intermixed with the silvaticus- like form now sent to the 
Club. The panicle of the latter certainly bears considerable resem- 
blance to the true plant. — W. M. R. 
R. argentatus , P. J. Muell. Foxholes Wood, Bailie Gate, Dorset, 
4th July, 1891. New County Record. — R. P. Murray. “ Poor R. 
argentatus.” — Dr. Focke. 
R. thyrsoideus , Wimm. Repton, Derbyshire, 6th July, 1S93. 
The Rev. W. Moyle Rogers has named this plant thus in an aggregate 
sense as it does not appear to him to agree with R. candicans , Weihe,
