descendant of the original Kerry plant, and have grown it since 1875. 
It increases rapidly by throwing out fresh rosettes annually, but, 
though it apparently ripens its seed, I have yet to prove that it is 
fertile. It is supposed by some authors to be a hybrid between 
vS. umbrosa, L. and S. Aizoofi, L. The latter, however, does not grow 
wild in this country. It is the 6'. Guihrieana, Engler (‘ Verh.-Zool. 
Bot. Ges.’ Wien., 1869, 537).” — J. C. M. 
Epilobiian hirsutum x parviflorum. Near Witley, Surrey, 4th 
July 1898. — E. S. Marshall. 
E. obscurum x palustre. Near Chapel-en-le-P'rith, Derbyshire, 5th 
August 1898. — W. R. Linton. “Correct.” — E. S. Marshall. 
E. . Odiham, N. Hants, 22nd July 1898. — C. E. Palmer. 
“ I send a packet of this Epilobium^ which is growing on the same 
ground as the specimens sent in 1897 — the plants are second year’s 
growth, between two and three feet in height — thinking it may prove to 
be E. Lamyi, or a hybrid.” — C. E. P. ^^E. LamyiA — E. S. Marshall. 
E. palustre, L., form. Mouth of burn, coast near Tigharri, N, 
Uist, vice-county no, 20th July 1898. — W. A. Shoolbred. “A 
branching form exactly like this I gathered in a similar situation in 
Benbecula in 1894.” — W. A. S. “I should not care to give this any 
special name ; it is sometimes extremely branched, sometimes 
normal.” — E, S. Marshall. 
Carmn verticiUatiun, Koch. Maughold, Isle of Man, September 
1898. — S. Gasking. “Sent because there is no authority attached to 
this plant in ‘Topogr. Bot.,’ ed. ii. The specimens now forwarded were 
collected in the ‘ moist meadows below Christ’s Church, Maughold,’ 
the locality given by the Rev. H. A. Stowell in ‘Phytologist,’ i860, and 
in Thwaite’s ‘ History and Directory of the Isle of Man.’” — S. G. 
Galium Mollugo, L., var. angustifolium, Leers, ‘FI. Herb.,’ 115 
(1789). Chalk downs, between Tring and Wendover, Bucks, June 
1898. — G. C. Druce. “ Herr J. PTeyn identifies it as the above ; I 
think most English botanists would have placed it under G. erechmi, 
Huds. Beck, in ‘ P '1 or. Mid. Oesterr.,’ ii., p. 1125, divides the forms 
of G. Mollugo into two groups. In group i are included the type, 
var. latifolium, Leers, ‘ Llerb.,’ 115 ; yS angustifoliu 7 n, Leers, l.c. ; and 
ry abietmuni. In group 2 are included var. elatwti, Thuill. (under 
which name he puts G. msubriawi), and var. erechwi (Huds.), which 
includes G.dumetorum, Jord.,and ybx. praticohaii, H. Braun.” — G. C. D. 
“A good example of G. erectmn, Huds.” — E. F. Linton. On the 
labels Mr. Druce gives the authority for the var. as ‘ Beck,’ and Mr. Ar. 
Bennett draws attention to the ambiguity of such a citation, as although 
probably Beck v. Mannagetta is intended, it might equally apply to 
the American author so named or to Becker. He also points out that 
the name has been used by two earlier authors — Leyss., ‘ P"l. Hal.’ 
(1761), and Retz., ‘Prod. PI. Scand.’ (1779).
