of its leaves and peduncles, smaller and brighter-coloured flowers, the 
outer phyllaries spreading, the inner green (not glaucous), long, narrow, 
appressed ; leaves usually very much incised. — Edward S. Marshall. 
Mr. Townsend passed this without comment. A definition of T. udum 
is given in the ‘Report’ for 1882, p. 74. 
Sonchus palustris^ Linn. Oxfordshire, Sept., 1894. The speci- 
mens sent were gathered in the Oxfordshire locality. The particulars 
of its discovery are given in the ‘Journal of Botany’ for 1893, p. 183. 
The dry summer of that year terribly punished it, but the more rainy 
summer of 1894 again revived it. The plant is, I believe, native to 
the county. These specimens were gathered during a heavy thunder- 
storm, so that the flowers were a little injured in the subsequent 
drying. — G. Claridge Druce. Fine specimens of the same, from 
above Snodland, W. Kent, 19th August, 1894, were contributed by 
Captain A. H. Wolley Dod. 
Tragopogon orientalis, L. Railway banks, Burton Green, near 
Berkswell, Warwickshire, June, 1894. — H. Bromwich. See previous 
‘ Reports.’ 
Campanula rotundifolia, L., var. spedosa, More. Sandhills by coast, 
Benbecula, 28th July, 1894, Naming confirmed by Mr. Ar. Bennett, 
who kindly compared the specimen with Mr. More’s. He writes : 
“ As one would expect, much less luxuriant than the Irish specimens. 
They have five to eight flowers on long peduncles, &c. The flowers 
of your specimens are as large as Mr. More’s plant. Looking at the 
difference in climate between Boffin Island, Galway, and the Outer 
Hebrides, it seems to me that yours only differ from that cause.” — 
W. A. Shoolbred. 
Statice pyramidalis, Syme. Wells, Norfolk, Aug., 1894. Coll. F. 
Long. — H. D. Geldart. See ‘Report,’ 1892, p. 378, where also 
this plant is correctly given as a variety, and not a species. 
Erythraa lit/oralis, Fr. Hightown, Lancashire, 21st July, 1894. 
There are two states of this species on the Lancashire and Cheshire 
coasts, one depauperate with one or few stems, and the other (the 
form sent) more luxuriant with many stems. 'Fhe first-named is the 
most frequent. E. piilchella varies in a similar way. — J. A. Wheldon. 
Mr. Druce remarks on his specimen : “ A large-flowered form.” The 
plant sent is E. lina 7 -ifolia^ P., E. litforalis, Fr., E. litforalis, Sm.
