REPORT FOR 1 893. 
423 
Euphorbia exigua , L., var. retusa, DC. In cornfields near Egrove, 
about three miles from Wantage, Berks, September, 1893. It occurred 
with the type plants. — G. Claridge Druce. 
Ulmus campestris , Sm., var. glabra , Mill. Hedge, Chesterton, 
Warwickshire, April, 1892, and August, 1893. — H. Bromwich. 
“ Specimen too poor to determine.” — G. Nicholson. 
Salix rubra , Huds., var. Helix (Linn.) Bog at the Woodloes, 
Warwick, April and August, 1893.— H. Bromwich. “A. purpurea. 
A. Helix , L., is altogether dubious, and the name should be dropped.” 
— F. Buchanan White. 
Salix aurita , L. x Caprea , L. (No. 259). Edlaston, S. Derby, 
April and June, 1893. The bush from which the specimens were 
taken grew next to a bush of typical Caprea , from which it differed 
in the smaller fruit, and in the leaves narrowing towards the petiole 
and glabrescent beneath. It appears to be Caprea , with a strain of 
aurita in it. — W m. R. Linton. “ = x A. capreola, J. Kern. The 
aurita element is shewn chiefly in the catkins.” — F. Buchanan 
White. 
A. aurita , L. x cinerea , L. Dunbeath, Caithness, 1888, and cult. 
April and July, 1893. (No. 44.) This was considered by Dr. 
Buchanan White to be this hybrid, judging from the wild foliage; in 
cultivation it has turned out to be so, and gynandrous. — W. R. Linton. 
“= x A. lutescens , A. Kern.” — F. Buchanan White. 
A. repens , Linn., var. argentea (Smith). Ross Links, Northumber- 
land, August, 1890. — H. E. Fox. “One of the numerous forms of 
the polymorphic A. repens, for which, as they pass one into the other, 
it is not desirable to retain varietal names.” — F. Buchanan White. 
Juncus supinus, Moench, var. fluitans , Fr. Holes, quarry bog, 
Knock Drin, Westmeath, 8th July, 1893. — H. C. Levinge., “May 
be so called, but it is merely a state due to local conditions. In Dr. 
Buchenau’s ‘ Kritische Zusammenstellung,’ only one variety, Kochii , 
is admitted. All the rest are relegated to the ‘ formas diversce ’ which 
comprise those forms which Dr. Buchenau considers are not entitled 
to varietal rank, and which are, for the most part, simply states due 
to situation, &c.” — W. H. Beeby. 
J. lamprocarpus, Ehrh. Sandy coast form. Littlesea, Dorset, 
29th August, 1893. Note the short perigynia and generally stunted 
growth. It seems a departure from type towards v. littoralis , Patze. — 
W. R. Linton. 
J. lampi'ocarpus , Ehrh, forma. Streamlet below Ben Chaisteil, 
Argyll, 4th August, 1893. Frequent in the western Breadalbane 
country, and much resembling J. alpinus , Vill., in a living state. I 
suspect that the J. nigritellus of British authors is made up of this 
and J. alpinus combined. It comes very near the var. pauciflo 7 us , 
Sonder. — E. S. Marshall. I have omitted the varietal name from 
this note for the same reason as that given under Mr. Marshall’s 
Cochlear ia (p. 401). — J. G. 
/. alpinus , Vill. Ben Laoigh, Argyll, at 2,500 feet, 5th August, 
1893. Assented to by Prof. Buchenau as his genuinus. — E. S. 
Marshall.
