G. sylvestre, Poll., var. nitidtdum (Thuill.). Between Tring and 
Wendover, Bucks ; a new county record ; June 1898. — G. C. Druce, 
“ This plant occurred in abundance over a considerable area of a large, 
grassy chalk down with a southern exposure, and was associated with 
the foregoing. I see no reason to doubt that in this locality the plant 
may be native. This is not typical G. sylvestre^ but I believe G. 
nitidulum^ Thuillier, ‘FI. Par.,’ ed. 2, p. 76, and is a well-marked 
variety, if not specifically distinct from the G. sylvestre of Ben Laoigh, 
etc. The occurrence of this Galium on the eastern Chilterns supports /j 
its claim to be considered native in Berkshire, where my lamented 
friend Mr. F. Tufnail discovered it, but which, from Euphorbia 
Cyparissias being in the vicinity, I felt was not altogether beyond 
suspicion of having been accidentally introduced.” — G. C. D. “This 
is doubtless what we call sylvestre; but has not the name nitidulum 
been denied to our plant ? ” — Ar. Bennett.
