shorter than the peduncle, could be distinguished from var. repens , 
Hook, fib, by their obtusely-toothed leaves. — S. T. Dunn. King’s 
Cove, Arran, v.c. ioo; growing beside the type in marsh near the sea, 
26th June and 3rd July 1894. — A. Somerville. 
Archangelica officinalis, Hoffm. Debris of disused quarry in cliffs 
between Ballintoy and Carrich-a-raide Island, Antrim, nth July 1896. 
Not in any plenty, and still collected by the peasantry. — Charles 
Bailey. 
D aliens gummifer , Lam. Origin, Durlstone Head, Dorset; hort. 
Bournemouth, 5th August 1896. These specimens are sent as a 
sample from a crop of seedlings, which were reared to test the con- 
stancy of our British D. gummifer. On the whole the plants were 
fairly uniform, one only showing a marked leaning towards D. Carota , 
an exception which may suggest the idea that the two species are 
capable of hybridization. All were very distinct in appearance from a 
casual carrot, which came up as a weed in the garden and was 
allowed to develop for the sake of comparison. Both D. Carota and 
D. gummifer occurred about Durlstone Head in 1894, when I 
gathered the seed of this sowing. — E. F. Linton. “The most 
extreme form I have seen of our maritime Daucus was from Portland, 
gathered by Mr. H. I. Mennell. These are the nearest to it I have 
seen hitherto.” — A. Bennett. 
Galium Vaillantii, DC. Firmly and plentifully established in Long 
Lawford allotments, Warwickshire, 24th July 1896. — S. T. Dunn. 
Inula britannica , L. Naturalised on shore of Cropstone reservoir, 
Leicestershire, July 1896.— F. T. Mott. 
Achillea nobilis, L. I send a few cultivated specimens of this 
plant, which occurs sparingly as an alien on Walton-on-Thames 
Common, Surrey, in proximity to the allotment grounds, 26th October 
1895. I am indebted to Dr. Focke for the name. — W. H. Beeby. 
Matricaria Chamomilla , Linn., apetalous form. Cubley, nth 
July, and Edale, 31st August 1896, both in Derbyshire. — W. R. 
Linton. 
Artemisia vulgaris ; Linn., b. coarctata , Forsell. Chagford, South 
Devon, 20th August 1896.— S. T. Dunn. “ In his ‘ Flora of Berks,’ 
p. 289, Mr. Druce says: ‘ T. H. Fors.,’ as a species; but Forselles, 
himself, reduced it to a variety in ‘Fries Flora Hallandica,’ p. 132, 
obs. 1817.” — A. Bennett. 
Artemisia pontica , Linn. A large patch has established itself on 
waste ground near Warmley Station, Gloucestershire, nth September 
1896. " Miller refers to Roman wormwood, ‘ Absinthium ponticum 
tenuifolium incanum , Bauh. Pin ,’ as grown in English gardens, and 
this is quoted by Linnaeus under Artemisia pontica. The Warmley 
plant is therefore the same as Miller’s ‘Roman wormwood’ and is 
doubtless a relic of cultivation. — S. T. Dunn.
