plant is new to this county. The form described in Syme’s ‘Eng. 
Bot.’ as intermedia,^ Decaisne,” with “PI intermedia,, Gilb.,” as a 
synonym, seems to me to be only the common dry roadside form, with 
rosulate leaves and curved scapes, which is generally less luxuriant than 
the type, but not completely dwarfed. — F. T. Mott. “ This appears 
to be the same plant as Mr. Bailey’s var. microstachya, Wallr. I much 
fear that some of our Plantago varieties are merely states, and this 
remark applies to some of those I myself have formerly recorded from 
Shetland.” — W. H. Beeby. 
F. arenaria, Waldst. and Kit: On waste sandy ground at the 
back of the railway station, Hightown, South-west Lancashire, 
3rd August, 1895. There were several other aliens on the same 
ground, as Echinosper 7 nuin Lappiila, Linn., Potentilla hirta, Linn., &c. 
Cha’rles Bailey. 
Illecebrtcm verticillatum, Linn. In a sandy situation near 
Wellington College, Berkshire, in considerable quantity over a 
limited area, September, 1895. — G. C. Druce. “A very interesting 
extension of range, bringing the plant close up to the Surrey 
border. Recorded by Mr. Druce in ‘ Journ. of Bot.,’ 1891, p. 307.”

Atriplex laciniata, L. Colwyn Bay, Denbighshire, July, 1895. 
New County record. — W. H. Painter. “ The fruiting specimens are 
rightly named, but the flowering specimens belong to another species, 
probably A. BabingtoniiP — W. H. B. 
Suceda maritima, Dum. var. proctwibens, Syme, {fide Ar. Bennett). 
On the shore. Loch Ranza, Arran, 25th August, 1894. — A. 
Somerville. 
Polygonum. — Waste loamy ground, near Prestwich Clough, S. E. 
Lancashire, 26th July, 1895. — J. Cosmo Melvill. “P. mite Schrank, 
I believe ; an addition to v. c. 59. This is interesting, as the name 
of the Cheshire plant was much contested ; Mr. Hardy and Mr. 
Wilson contending it was mite, while Mr. Watson held it to be a large 
minus. Afterwards the true plant seems to have been gathered at 
Cotterill Clough. I think it was there that it occurred.” — Ar. Bennett. 
P. 7tiaculatum, Trimen and Dyer. Dried-up pond on Dunsfold 
Common, Surrey, 12th September, 1895. — E. S. Marshall. “I think 
merely 77 iac 7 ilatu 7 n ; it varies so greatly, as all the species of this section 
do, that slight differences might be multiplied ad Iibit 7 e 7 nf' — Ar. 
Bennett. “ I think it a condition due to environment, and not a 
variety at all — slight or otherwise.” — W. H. Beeby.

27th July, 1895. Leg. W. R. Linton, com. H. C. Levinge. Also, 
same locality and date. — W. R. Linton. “ I believe rightly named, but I 
should have liked to see more advanced specimens.” — W. H. B,
