plants for verification, and should be glad to be assured that it is 
correctly named. — VVm. R. Linton. “Seems to me the .same as the 
I'hames side sy Ives iris, but it would be well to see early leaves.” —

Capsella Bursa-pastoris, Moench., var. bifida. Kingsweston Down, 
West Gloucester, nth May, 1890. — Jas. W. White “I should 
place this Capsella with brachycarpa rather than with bifida. The 
equilateral capsules are typical of brachycarpa., and although the radical 
leaves approach those of bifida, they are too small for that form, 
though more entire than is usually found in brachycarpal' — F. A. Mott.

specimens from the main land are even less hairy than those sent 
last year from the Island of Arran, and, I suppose, fairly represent 
the variety. — H. C. Levinge. “ This seems to me a more diffuse 
plant than the Cronkley Fell one ; the raceme more elongated and 
flowers larger.” — Ar. Bennett. 
Viola Reichaibachiatia, Bor. Plant from Greywell, N. Hants ; 
grounds at Odiham, April, 1894 and 1895 ; seed, 14th May, 1894. — 
C. E. Palmer. A beautiful series of V. silvestns, Reich.,/, leucantha, 
G. Beck. The specimens have been most carefully laid out for drying, 
so that the shape of the leaves is seen at once, a feature too often 
obscured by want of care. Although by no means a character that 
can be relied on with safety, it is often noticeable that the leaves of 
this species are longer in proportion to their breadth than is the case 
with those of V. Rivinia?ia ; this character is strongly marked in 
Miss Palmer’s plants.” — W. H. Beeby.

few specimens from a plant which has arisen spontaneously in the 
garden among a quantity of both parents. — Wm. R. Linton. “ I 
have no doubt Mr. Linton is right, but I should hesitate to speak 
definitely of this hybrid without further experience of this particular 
plant.”— W. H. B. 
Viola stagnina, Kit. South side of Lough Mask, co. Mayo, 8th 
July, 1895. Unfortunately, owing to the extraordinary drought of 
last summer, the plants were quite past flowering; and it is not 
unlikely that some of the specimens sent may be hybrids, or states 
of V. ericetorwn, Reich., which also occurs hereabouts, as well as 
V. Riviniana. New to the county Mayo, I believe. — Edwin S. 
Marshall. Limestone banks of lake ; south end of Lough Mask, 
CO. Mayo, 8th July, 1895.— W. A. Shoolbred. “ Both of these are 
mixed gatherings, consisting chiefly of V. ericetorum x stagnina.
