REPORT FOR 1894. 
449 
Epilobium hirsutiim x montanum. Cultivated ground, Corston, 
N. Somerset, 31st July, 1894. — J. W. White. A good intermediate, 
exhibiting features of both parents.— W. R. L. 
E. parviflorum x obscurum ; ad pan)ifloruin vergens. Near Mal- 
pas, Cheshire, 23rd July, 1894. Confirmed by Rev. E. S. Marshall. — 
A. H. WoLLEY Dod. 
E. montanum x roseum. Natural garden hybrid, Milford, Surrey, 
23rd July, 1894. — E. S. Marshall. 
E. montanum x obscurum \ ad montamun recedens. Duckington, 
Cheshire, 22nd July, 1894. Confirmed by Rev. E. S. Marshall.— 
A. H. WoLLEY Dod. 
E. adnatum x La?nyi. Natural garden hybrid, Milford, Surrey, 
29th August, 1894. — E. S. Marshall. 
E. Lamyi x montanum ? Quarries, Brislington, N. Somerset, 
July, 1894. One large plant only.— J. W. White. E. mo 7 itanum x 
obscurum. The habit, inflorescence, shape and texture of leaves all 
strongly recall E. obscurum. I can detect no evident sign of E. Lamyi 
in the specimens sent.”^ — E. S. Marshall. 
E. obscurum x roseum. Shore of Cropstone Reservoir, Leicester- 
shire, Aug., 1894. Leg. Rev. T. A. Preston. On the muddy shores 
left dry by the receding water of Cropstone Reservoir, six miles from 
Leicester, sprang up vast beds of plants, sometimes a belt of one genus 
followed lower down by a belt of a quite different genus. One of 
these belts was an Epilobium belt. The species were hirsutum^ par- 
viflorum., montanum, obscurum, and roseum, but hybrid forms occupied 
by far the largest area, the individuals of pure type being comparatively 
few. Among the hybrids what appears to be obscurum x roseum was 
perhaps most conspicuous. This belt being rather high on the sloping 
banks has probably been exposed for at least two summers, so that it 
it possible the hybridizing may have taken place on the spot. Another 
belt consisted almost entirely of Polygonum Persicarid and lapathi- 
folium intermixed and growing three feet high. — F. T. Motf. — 
“ Correct, I believe.” — E. S. Marshall. 
E. Lamyi, Wirtg. Quarries, Brislington, N. Somerset, Sept., 1894. 
I think it unlikely that Bristol specimens have been distributed 
hitherto.- — J. W. White. 
E. Lamyi x lancrolatum. Natural garden hybrid, Milford, Surrey, 
23rd July, 1894. Stigmas shortly four-cleft. E. Lamyi rather than 
E. adnatum is indicated as a parent by the large flowers, broader band, 
shorter and less strap-shaped leaves, and the texture.— E. S. Marshall. 
Falcaria Rivini, Host. Originally from Preston, E. Kent. Leg. 
G. Bowker. Garden, Milford, 29th Aug., 1894. I regret that I can 
only send leaves. Owing, probably, to the very wet season, it hardly 
flowered at all with me last summer. — Edward S. Marshall. “The 
plant was found near Westgate, Kent, by the late Rev. Aubrey 
Moore in 1886 as reported by me in the ‘ Journ. Bot.’ for that year. 
The older generic name is Prionitis, Adans. (1763) and its name in that 
genus is P. Falcaria, Du Mort., ‘FI. Belg.’ 77.” — G. C. Druce.
