Gallia freqiientius nasci, crenis foliorum obscurioribus.” He gives, 
among other synonyms, Virga-aurea angiistifolia mmus serrata, H. 
Ox. iii., p. 125. Haller describes the type Virgaurea as having “folio 
lato, subhirsuto, serrato, caule sepedali.” Morison describes his 
plant (of which there is no specimen extant), cited by Haller, “ Hsec 
cum proxime antecedent! [.S’, Virgaurea] convenit at folio habet 
minora, angustiora, sine crenis aut saltern crenis minus conspicuis 
prcedita, alias a vulgar! non differentia.” In the ‘ IconeS FI. Helv. et 
Germ,’ vol. xvi.,page 8, Reichenbach describes his var. a. angustifolia 
as “ gracilis, flaccida, glabriuscula foliis omnibus sublineari lanceolatis, 
ex Hispania obtinui.” In the ‘ Syn. FI. Germ et Helv.,’ vol. i., 390 
(1843), Koch says: “var. angustifolia elatior foliis omnibus lanceo- 
latis obscurius serratus vel integerrimis.” From the above citations 
we learn that the description in the ‘ Student’s Flora ’ of the variety 
is not correct, and that if we cite var. angustifolia^ Gaud., it must be 
represented by a plant with narrow lanceolate leaves whose margins 
are entire or obscurely crenated. With neither of these characters do 
Mr. Mott’s specimens agree, and to me his plant is simply Solidago 
Virgaurea, L. — G. C. Druce. 
Aster paniculatus, Lamarck. Oxford, Sept. 1892. Prof. Asa Gray 
informed me that this was the name he should give to the plant. —

Erigeron alpinum, L. Glen Dole, Forfar, 1885. — G. C. Druce. 
Filago apiculata, G. E. Sm. Near Padworth, Berks, August,

Dawber, ex herb. — J. H. Steuart. 
G. hiteo-album, L. Jersey, wood near the sea, 3rd August, 1892. 
— M. L. Hodgson. No; these specimens are the North American 
Gnaphalium polycephalum, Michaux, which Mr, F. J. Richards first 
brought me from Jersey in 1888, and which I had some difficulty 
in running down to the unexpected western species. It is described 
in Asa Gray’s ‘ Manual of Botany’ p. 268, and is said to be common 
in the States, “in old fields and woods.” Mr. Richards said it appeared 
to be quite naturalized in Jersey. — G. C. Druce.

Doronicum Pardalianches, L. Near Buscot, Berks, July, 1892. 
New County Record, but as a naturalized plant only, as the locality 
is really an extension of the pleasure grounds. — G. C. Druce. 
Senecio vulgaris x sqiialidus — x A. Baxterii, mihi. Nearer vulgaris 
than some other hybrids of these species which I have found on waste 
ground, growing with both of the assumed parents, about Oxford, 
luly, 1892. — G. C. Druce. “The facies seem fully to warrant the 
above determination. I think hybrids are rather scarce in Compos-
