Sa/tx Myrsinites x 7 tigricans. Accidental garden hybrid ; hort. 
Bournemouth, No. i8i (4) and 181 (5), 1896-7. — E. F. Linton. 
“These both show very little of the usual discolouring effect of S. 
nigricans^ and have led me at times to suppose S. phylicifolia present 
as a modifying influence. However, the plants were raised from seed 
from a catkin of S. nigrica?is (which had been fertilised by me with- 
out success by S. Ia 7 tata), and of the seedlings saved these two shew 
the clearest signs of S. Myrsmites. A narrow-leaved male plant of 
S. Myrsinites close by the A. nigrica 7 is bush (No. 30) would well 
account for the narrow leaves of these two hybrids.” — E. F. L. 
Epipactis atroriibens^ Schultz. Longstone Edge, N. Derbyshire, 
29th July 1898. A new record for county 57. — W. R. Linton. “I 
do not know the exact locality of Longstone Edge, but suppose it is not 
near the two localities, Brassington and Dovedaie (or is it in the latter ?) 
given by Rev. W. H. Purchas (‘Journ. of Bot.’ 1885, p. 201). I have 
not seen the Derby specimens, but if the same as those from Little 
Doward Hill, as noted by Mr. Purchas (l.c.), then I agree with him 
they are not at 7 'orube 7 is^ Schultz ; but the present specimens do come 
close to the Settle and Great Orme’s Head plants, and must, I suppose, 
be referred to atrorubens, anyhow of English authors, and the Rev. E. 
S. Marshall, says (‘Journ. of Bot.’ 1899, p. 328), that the Swiss plant 
is identical with the Sutherland atrorubens. Specimens I possess 
from Rugen (Dr. Winslow), Vaucluse (Reverchon), Bohemia (Polak), 
Somme, France (Gouse), and Moens (Dr. Lange), show about the 
same range of variation that our plant does, but a specimen from 
Gotland (H. Nielsson), is a much stronger and stouter plant in all 
its parts, and approximates to E. sessilijiora, Peterm., from Weimar 
(Haussknecht).” — Ar. Bennett. 
Jtmcus effusus x glaucus. {/. diffusus, Hoppe). Near Thursley, 
Surrey, 3rd September 1898. — E. S. Marshall. 
J. diffusus, Hoppe. ( = yi glauco-effusus, Schnitz.). In considerable 
quantity in a marshy piece of ground near Linslade, Bucks. A new 
county record, July 1898. — G. Claridge Druce.

Isles,’ p. 31, t. 21 (1899) j P. fluitans, Fryer in lit., and Druce, ‘FI. 
Berks,’ 516; P. 7 iatans x alpuius (?), Druce, l.c., 516. From the 
original locality where I discovered this plant, in the river Loddon, 
near Sandford Mill, Berks, September 1898. — G. C. Druce. “The 
plant here distributed has been clearly described by Mr. Fryer in 
his excellent monograph, and beautifully figured, and is, when 
growing, quite the most beautiful of British pondweeds. It affords 
a sight not easily to be forgotten as it occurs in the shallow and 
clear water of the Loddon, where the flickering lights illumine the
