Museum Herb, are from Jordan himself, and represent a much less 
elongate plant, with shorter, rounder leaves. The plant figured by 
Jordan under this name in ‘ Obs.’ ii., tab. 2, fig. A, differs in several 
particulars, and agrees very closely with these specimens.” — A. H. 
Wolley-Dod. 
Viola tricolor , L., var. Lloydii , Jord. Reclaimed land on the borders 
of Cockersham Moss, West Lancashire, v.-c. 60, county record, June 
1900. — J. A. Wheldon and Albert Wilson. “I have compared it 
with the description and specimens from Mr. Lloyd, and I agree with 
you that it must be referred to this species, though in the plant I have 
from Mr. Lloyd the petals are all violet ; but the description states 
that the flowers are sometimes yellowish.” — E. G. Baker. 
V. tricolor , L., var. confinis , Jord. (Lloyd, ‘ FI. de l’ouest de la 
France’). ‘B. E. C. Report,’ 1885; ‘Engl. Bot. Suppl.,’ p. 32. Steep 
limestone bank at Ecton, N. Staffordshire, growing with Helianthemum 
vulgare and other native plants, 13th Sept. 1893.- — -W. H. Purchas. 
V . Odiham, N. Hants, 5th May 1900. — C. E. Palmer. 
“An arvensis violet belonging to the section having foliaceous median 
lobe to stipule. Closely allied to V. agrestis, Jordan, differing prin- 
cipally in having the bracteoles close to the curvature of the peduncle, 
instead of rather lower.” — E. G. Baker. “ This seems to oe the var. 
gracilescens , DC. ( V. gracilescens , Jord.) of V. arvensis. The leaves 
and stipules are rather fuller than in continental specimens, as is usual 
in our more humid climate.” — E. F. Linton. 
V. . Barren field outside Steyn Wood, Bembridge, Isle of 
Wight, 6th June 1900. — C. E. Palmer. “Prof, von Borbas, of 
Budapest, to whom I submitted specimens of this plant, has deter- 
mined it to be V. banatica , Kitaib. in Roem. and Schultz ‘ Syst.,’ v., 
p. 382, non Reichb., ‘ Icon.’ The following is the original description 
of this species : ‘ Caule imgulato decumbenti-dififuso, foliis inferioribus 
cordatis, superioribus ovato-oblongis, dentato-crenatis, stipulis 
runcinato-pinnatifidis, corollis calycem glabrum vix excedentibus. 
Intermedia quasi tricolorem inter et arvensem f 3 ; statura tricoloris, 
corolla, praeter calycem, arvensis / 3 .’ Hab. (of type) in Banat. I 
am not aware that this has ever before been recorded for Britain.” — 
E. G. Baker. 
V. arvensis , Murr., var. Cornfields between Stromness and Sand- 
wick, Orkney, v.-c. hi, 16th July 1900. — E. S. Marshall. “Yes, 
this belongs to the arvensis series, and is closely allied to V. segetalis , 
Jordan.”— E. G. Baker. 
V. tricolor , L., var. Tongue, v.-c. 108, W. Sutherland, 24th May 
1 900. — E. S. Marshall. “ V. tricolor , L. genuina , forma versicolor ,
