REPORT FOR 1891. 
337 
from Sweden, is a smaller plant ; and I would put his C. alpina var. 
as intermedia , Ehrh. In alpina , apart from fruit, the leaves are 
remarkably thin and papery, and the whole plant has a flaccid look 
which lutetiana has not. 
Anthriscus Cerefolium comes up annually as a weed in the garden 
of my friend, the Rev. T. A. Preston, Rector of Thurcaston, in this 
county, but as this plant is the famous chervil, much used in French 
cookery, it is probably a relic of cultivation, as the garden is an old 
one. Oct., 1891. — F. T. Mott. I doubt the expediency of garden 
weeds being sent to the Club ; for thirty years Datura , Panicum viride, 
and others came up annually in my garden, but I certainly never 
thought of distributing them as British plants. 
Galium boreale , var. vel forma oreinum. Ben Bavigh and Ben 
Chonzie, Perthshire, 31st July and 5th August, 1891. This form or 
state of G. boreale looks very distinct. I have for many years noticed 
it on Ben Chonzie, on dry terraces and ledges of rock overlooking Loch 
Turrit. Also on Ben Lavigh, Perthshire, but there somewhat larger in 
growth. This form seems to differ from the type mainly in the rough 
stunted and scrubby growth. Greater rigidity and pubescence, darker 
colour of stem and leaves, and almost simple stalk, hardly branched. 
At about 2,000 to 2,500 feet. A similar form occurs also on dry 
insulated rocks in the R. Ruchill, Glen Artney, Perthshire. — J. C. 
Melvill. This may be the plant named as G. hercynicum , Weigel, 
from Cereag Meaghaidh, Westerness in ‘Annals of Scottish Nat. 
History,’ 1892, p. 178. It is greatly to be desired that those botanists 
who quote a name new to our Floras would give the references. 
Weigel described his plant in ‘ Obs. bot.’ p. 25, 1772. 
G. Mollugo , L., var. insubricum Gaud., fide A. Bennett. Roadside, 
St. Fintens Graveyard, Howth, Co. Dublin, 15th June and nth July, 
1891. — H. C. Levinge. G. insubricum , Gaud., seems to be var. latifolium 
Wallr, ‘Sch. crit.’ p. 56, 1822. 
Valerianella Auricula, DC. Cornfield between Fellbrigg Green and 
Cromer, East Norfolk. Vice-County 27. 22nd July, 1891. — Charles 
Bailey. New record for Fast Norfolk. 
Solidago Virgaurea , L. var. angustifolia, Gaud. Grange, August, 
1891. I send specimens from the limestone at Grange, Lancashire, and 
from the syenite in Leicestershire. They appear to be indistinguishable, 
and both correspond to the description of angustifolia in the ‘Student’s 
Flora.’ S. Virgaurea, proper, as there described, I have never met with. 
I have specimens in my herbarium from Scotland, Yorkshire, Isle of 
Man, Hampshire, Glamorganshire, Lancashire, and Leicestershire, 
varying in height from 9 to 30 inches, but in every one the lower leaves 
are lanceolate, the upper narrower, and both more or less serrate. 
This form ( angustifolia ) seems to be the common one in this 
country. — F. T. Mott. Is the plant figured in ‘ English Botany ’ as 
var. genuina , not angustifolia. 
Senecio vulgaris x squalidus. Growing with the assumed parents 
near the Great Western Railway Station, Oxford, July, 1891. It 
scarcely differs from plants named A. crassifolius, Willd., by Mr. 
Baker. — G. Claridge Druce.
