484 THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB OF THE BRITISH ISLES, 
Ribes petneuni, Sm. Wilton, Egremont, Cuniljerland, 22nd May, 
1895. — Joseph Adair, “Is it not better to adopt Syme’s name 
/ 3 . S/nithianum, as there is a R. pdrceiim^ Wulfen. ; or perhaps var. 
petrceum, Hooker, would be a prior name and the proper one. I can 
find no exact equivalent for this form in Continental Floras.” — Ar. 
Bennett. 
Myriophyllum verticillatum, form. Bog of Lynn, near Mullingar, 
22nd July, 1895. Apparently checked in growth, owing probably to 
the extreme dryness of the early part of the season. — H, C. Levinge. 
“ I should call it simply the mud state of the plant.” — W.H.B. 
Epilobium ana^allidifolium x obscuruni. Root from Ben More of 
Assynt, W. Sutherland, 1890. Garden, Milford, 15th June, 1895. — 
E. S. Marshali.. 
Apium nodiflorum, Reich., var. ocreatu??/, Bab,, fide Ar. Bennett 
and E. S. Marshall. King’s Cove, Arran, v.c. 100, 3rd July and 15th 
August, 1894. — Growing beside the type. — A. Somerville. 
CEnanthe pimphidloides^ L. A characteristic plant of Milford-on- 
Sea, S. Hants, June, 1895. — J. Cosmo Melvill. “Yes.” — A. R. 
Bennett. 
Galium Root from Paddlesworth, E. Kent, 1894. Garden, 
Milford, 15th June and 3rd Sept., 1895. This is closely allied to G. 
erectum and G. Molhcgo, but I think it to be distinct from both. The 
fruit (sparingly produced in cultivation) is smooth. Leaves bright 
green, rather thin. Habit weak and straggling. In the wild state it 
is smaller, and reminded me of G. sylvestre, Poll.- — Edward S. 
Marshall. “Cultivation shows this plant to be intermediate between 
G. Mollugo and G. erectum^ on the whole nearer the latter. "WTether 
it be simply “ one of the intermediates ” such as Syme speaks of, or a 
hybrid, remains an open question. I have not seen G. erectum from 
the locality. The plant has not yet borne any fruit in my garden, nor 
have I seen any perfect fruit on the wild specimens.” — W. H. Beeby. 
G. Mollugo, Linn. var. No. i. Meadows, Bray, Berkshire and 
Buckinghamshire, August, 1895. One of the puzzling intermediate 
forms between type G. Mollugo {G. elatum, Thuillier) and G. erectum. 
This may be referred to the var. insubricum (Gaudin, ‘ FI. Helv.’ i , 
p. 421). It must be borne in mind that these specimens occurred in 
a meadow which had been once mowed that year, so that they have 
grown laterally from the original stem in many instances. It may be 
remembered that Mr. Bolton King sent to the Ex. Club, some years 
since, from the meadows near Old Windsor, a Galium which Mr. 
H. C. Watson thought might be the G. diffusum of Hooker — the G. 
cinereum of Smith \ Babington thought it was G. erectum., while Dr. 
Boswell considered it to be G. Afollugo, var, Bakeri. I have not seen 
Mr. King’s specimen, so I am unable to say whether this is identical. 
— G. Claridge Druce.
