520 THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB OF THE BRITISH ISLES. 
Rosa mollis x pimpinellifolia. Chee Dale, Derbyshire, 24th August 
1896. Some dozen or more bushes of this were growing at the place, 
generally flowering abundantly, but producing very little fruit. — 
W. R. Linton. 
R. septum , Thuill., var. Glynde, East Sussex, nth and 30th June 
r895. — E. H. Farr. 
Pyrus minima , Ley. Limestone Cliffs, Craig Cille, Brecon, 
27th May 1896. — A. Ley and W. R. Shoolbred. I send a few 
specimens of this plant, shewing the ripe fruit. It produced abundant 
and fine fruit this dry and warm season. — Augustin Ley. 
Cratcegus Ocyacantha , Linn., var. Holywell, Shrewley, Warwick- 
shire, 2 1 st May and 1st July 1896. This Cratcegus appeared to me 
a peculiar form, with very hairy calyx tube, and the leaves smooth 
and not deeply cut. On the 21st May it was out of flower, while the 
ordinary forms were in full bloom. There was only one bush in the 
hedge of it, and I could find no others in the locality. — Charlotte 
E. Palmer. 
Saxifraga stellaris , Linn., ‘Sp.Pl., 400 (1753), forma; var. font ana, 
mihi. Crowing in a spring with Bartramia , in Glen Callater, South 
Aberdeenshire, June 1896. The specimens of Saxifraga stellaris in 
almost all herbarium specimens show a distinct basal rosette of leaves. 
This is the usual condition of the plant as seen growing on the rocky 
margins of springs and small watercourses in alpine situations. It 
is also found under another modification, namely, when it grows 
amidst moss at the base of a more or less perpendicular piece of rock, 
where the roots are kept perpetually wet by the drip from above, or 
where it grows in an alpine rill with Bartramia. In this condition 
the rosette of leaves becomes less defined, owing to the main axis 
elongating. The stem and leaves become more succulent and are 
often tinged with red. The leaves occasionally become nearly or 
quite entire (var. integrifolia , Hook.). I have not succeeded in my 
attempt to cultivate it, so am unable to say whether it is a permanent 
form. In the ‘Annals of Scottish Natural History’ for 1892, p. 131, 
I recorded it from Glen Spean, Westerness, and provisionally named 
it var. fontana. — G. Claridge Druce. 
Rides petrceum (Sm). Wilton Egremont, Cumberland, May 1896. 
— Joseph Adair. 
Sedum rcflexum , L.; var. b. albescens (Haw.). Parkstone, July 
1896, and Broadstairs, 13th July 1896, both in Dorset. — E. F. 
Linton. 
Epilobium hirsutum x montanum. Near Mytham Bridge, Derby, 
25th August 1896. — W. R. Linton. 
Apium nodiflorum , Reichb. fib; c. ocreatum , Bab. Chagford, South 
Devon, 17th August 1896. The peduncles varied greatly in length, 
though usually short. Extreme forms, in which the umbel was
