REPORT FOR 1895.

Erophila. Ridgeway, Berl<s, May, 1895 ; and Shrivenham, Berks, 
May, 1895. — C. Druce, “ I have been unable to do anything with 
these, since I have not succeeded in obtaining opinions on two large 
parcels sent abroad over a year ago.” — W. H. B. 
Cochlearia micacea, Marshall. Root from Perthshire. Garden, 
Milford, yth May and 15th June, 1895. — E. S. Marshall. 
Cochlearia danica, L., var. Walton Gaol, Lancashire, April and 
October, 1895, Having had two different opinions regarding this 
plant (see ‘ Report,’ pp. 401 and 464), I thought a further supply 
might prove of interest to the members. — J. A. Wheldon. “I do 
not see any reason for calling this a variety ; it is an ordinary annual 
form of the plant. Syme (‘ Eng. Bot.’ hi.) doubted whether this species 
ever bore angulated root-leaves, and my own limited experience in 
growing the plant from seed would have led me to the same con- 
clusion j but Mr. Wheldon’s specimens show that the radical leaves 
are occasionally slightly angulated. When the plant assumes the 
biennial habit, however, the apex of the root-stock usually branches 
at the end of the first season’s growth, and each of these heads pro- 
duces a tuft of ivy-like leaves ; but these are not the true root-leaves. 
In the ‘Report’ for 1894, p. 464, Mr. Marshall speaks of a plant 
from the above locality as being “ untypical ” for C. danica on account 
of the “stalked stem-leaves,” etc. I do not know the meaning of 
this, unless we are to infer that the specimen in Linn, Herb, has sessile 
stem-leaves. If so, while it may be technically the type, it would 
certainly be a very uncharacteristic example of the species as it usually 
occurs in nature.” — W. H. Beeby. 
Erysimum repandum, L. Alien ; St. Philip’s Marsh, Bristol, 2nd 
May, 1894 . — Jas. W. White. 
Brassica ? Southern shores of Lough Mask, Co. Mayo 
and Co. Galway, nth July, 1895. This occurs at intervals, sometimes 
in great profusion, on barren shingly limestone, near the water’s edge. 
It has quite the look of a wild plant, and I was unable to trace it into 
cultivated soil. So far, indeed, as I was able to explore, the shores 
of this part of Lough Mask are left untilled. In all the stations where 
I observed this form, it was fully half-a-mile from the nearest field or 
garden. — Edward S. Marshall. “This seems to me Brassica 
Rapa, var. Briggsii ; just such a state of the plant as the conditions 
described would be likely to produce.” — -W. H. B. “I think you are 
correct in referring this to B. Rapa, var. BriggsiiP — Ar. Bennett. 
— (See ‘Jour. Bot.,’ 1896, p. 251.) 
B. Rapa, v. silvestris, H. C, Watson. Near Mayfield and Tutbury, 
Derby, ist and 27th June, 1894-5. The flowers are rather bright 
yellow, but the leaves, especially the stem leaves, fully glaucous. The 
plant is wild and abundant along the Dove for the greater part of its 
course. As it has been reported from Dovedale before, I send a few
