REPORT FOR 1900.

larger than the type, which grows on heathy ground in the vicinity, 
and the leaves are broader. In fact, at a little distance, I thought it 
was A. palustns. According to Rouy and Foucaud in £ Flore de 
France,’ iii., p. 234, this variety is identical with the A. Dilleniana of 
Reichenbach’s ‘FI. Excurs.,’ p. 785, and of the ‘Icons.,’ f. 4910, but is 
distinct from A. Dilleniana of Moench. and Leers. The description 
given in the ‘ Flore de France ’ is : “ Plante robuste, verte, lachement 
diffuse ; feuilles lineaires ou sublanceolees ; fleures tres longuement 
pedicellees ; petales profundement bipartits 1-2 fois plus longs que les 
sepales.” It must be remembered that in drying the petals shrink 
more than the sepals ; when fresh, they agreed with this description. —

Arenaria serpyllifolia , L., var. Sands at Pembrey, Carmarthen- 
shire, September 1900. — Ft. J. Riddelsdell. “Is the var. scabra, 
Fenzl., I believe.” — G. C. Druce. “Why not type?” — E. F. Linton. 
Sagina apetala , L., glabrous f. Wall at Ambergate, Derbyshire, 
7th August 1900. — W. R. Linton, “Described as var. glabra, F. 
Schultz., in ‘Flora Apr.,’ 1849, P- 36. I have it from Holyhead, 
Glengariffe, etc.” — G. C. Druce. 
Buda . Small island, Kyle of Tongue, W. Sutherland, 
23rd July 1900. — W. A. Shoolbred. Also at same time and place. — 
E. S. Marshall. “A puzzle ! This has the habit of \Spergularia\ 
marginala, with the seeds of rupicola somewhat.” — Ar. Bennett in 
litt. I think this ought to be compared with A. marginata, Kittel, 
/3 angustata , ‘Clav. FI. Gir.’ in ‘Act. Soc. Linn. Bord.,’ xxxv., p. 403 ; 
a variety in which the wing is sometimes rudimentary or absent. I 
have seen no specimen of this.” — E. G. Baker. 
Hypericum linarifolium , Vahl. On shelving cliffs west of Dart- 
mouth, S. Devon, 23rd July 1900. — F J. Hanbury. “Mr. Hanbury 
sends a fine series of this scarce plant.” — Ed. 
Geranium columbinum , L. Erwood, Breconshire, June 1900. —
