Herbarium is preserved, and whid i I had an opportunity of inspecting 
a few years back. — G. Claridge Druce. “ A very interesting 
variety of Malva moschaia, L. d'his certainly must closely approach 
var. Ramondiana^ Gren. et Godr., but I only know this from the 
description, which is “ feuilles toutes entieres, dentees.” The upper 
leaves here are certainly lobed.” — E. (h Baker. 
Impatiens biflora^ Walt, seems now to be well established in several 
places on the banks of the Enborne stream, which forms the boundary 
between Hants and Berks. It was originally introduced at Highclere 
Park, and from thence it appears to have spread along the stream for 
some miles. It is abundant at Washwater, about three miles from 
Newbury. 7th September, 1895. — Jackson. 
Ononis repens^ v. horrida, Lange. Near Moechras, Merioneth, 8th 
Aug., 1895. The older plants produced spines according to state- 
ments in ‘ J. Bot.,’ 1881, p. 358, and 1884, p. 215. Not realising this 
at the time I only gathered mostly younger and spineless pieces, and 
consequently though these are the true plant they do not well represent 
it. — Wm. R. Linton. “ Probably correct ; the absence of spines I 
believe to be because the specimen is only two years old. The third 
year spines are produced.” — Ar. Bennett. 
Meliloius, sp. — Waste ground, St. Philip’s Marsh, Bristol, Glou- 
cestershire, 1 6th September, 1895. — S, T. Dunn. “ Is Medicago 
fa/cata, of course an alien here.” — W. H. B. 
Medicago centiciilata. Willd., var. lappacea, Desr. Sandy fields, 
Tilford, Surrey, ist Oct., 1895. — W. A. Shoolbred. “This matches 
Mr. Reginald Pryor’s Bedfordshire specimens. For an interesting 
note on Medicago lappacea^ Lam., see ‘ Journ. Bot.,’ 1876, p. 22. The 
chief points of difference given there in order to distinguish this plant 
from M. denticulata are the generally fewer flowers ; the large sub- 
globose burr-like pods are less deeply and regularly veined, and the 
veins themselves take a different direction ; the uppermost whorl is 
larger in proportion and covers much more of the next ; the spines 
are radiant, standing out horizontally, and are not set at an oblique 
angle \ the seeds also are said to be rather oblong than reniform ; 
the whole plant is said to be coarser and ranker, and of a more 
succulent and leafy habit.” — E. G. Baker. “ Doubtless an alien, but 
there is no note sent on the point. I have it from Mr. Marshall, 
under same date and apparently from same locality, as a clover-field 
plant, introduced with the crop.” — W. H. B. 
M. lupulina^ Willd., var. Willdenowiana, Koch. Bury Fields, 
Odiham, N. Hants, nth October, 1895. — C. E. Palmer. Roadside, 
Worplesdon, Surrey, 24th July, 1895.— W. H. Beeby. (See ‘Journ. 
Bot.,’ 1895, pp. 315, 377 -) 
Melilotus indica, All. This plant was introduced into a meadow in 
Odiham, N. Hants, with wheat seed from America. The wheat seed 
was sifted and the dust thrown upon this meadow in 1893. The next
