REPORT FOR I902. 
57 
gathered in Cambridgeshire since the record in ‘FI. Carnbs.,’ i860. 
‘By the riverside recently.’ — A. Peckover. Specimens from Wisbeach 
in ‘Herb. Brit. Museum,’ 1796. It cannot be found in Lincolnshire, 
though it certainly occurred in District 12 (‘Banks’ Herb., Brit. Mus.’) 
and in South Lincoln in District 17. “Extinct both in North and 
South Lincoln,” ‘Naturalist,’ 1895, p. loi. So that probably East 
and West Norfolk are the only remaining vice-counties in which it at 
present exists.” — Ed. 
Statice lychnidifolia^ De Gir. Estuary of the river at Carteret, 
Western Normandy, 3rd August 1902. It is also abundant at Portbail, 
a little lower down the coast. I send a few French specimens, after 
consulting Mr. Arthur Bennett, as the Alderney supply seems to be 
very limited, and the French coast is not many miles off. — L. V. 
Lester. “ If unduly gathered in Alderney it will soon become 
extinct.” — Ed. 
Pulmonaria officinalis^ L. Farley Dingle, near Much Wenlock, 
Salop, May 1902. Originally a garden escape, but it has now spread 
on both sides of the valley and is growing upon railway ballast. — W. 
Hunt Painter. 
Pneumaria maritima, Hill. Golspie, East Sutherland, vice-county 
107, August 1902. New county record. — G. C. Druce. 
Cuscuta Epithymum, Murr. Growing in the herbage of the road- 
way slope at Fairhaven, and in several places on the flat turfy spaces 
of the sandhills between Fairhaven and St. Anne’s-on-the-Sea, West 
Lancashire, 2nd August 1902. Not recorded for vice-county 60 in 
‘Top. Bot.,’ p. 283, but its occurrence at this station was published in 
the ‘Journal of Botany,’ vol. xL, No. 476, p. 295. — Charles Bailey. 
Verbascuni phlomoides, L. Garden, June 1902. The history of 
this plant is as follows: — In 1869 and the two following years it grew 
in a new plantation which had been made at King’s Sterndale, Derby- 
shire, in fair plenty. Specimens picked at this station in 1869 were 
named as above by both Mr. J. G. Baker and Dr. Boswell. Since 
that date it has been grown in the garden at Sellack, where it comes 
up spontaneously year by year. — Augustin Ley. 
Linaria repens x vulgaris. From a deposit of chalk rubble 
brought from Upton, in Berkshire, to fill up a space near the railway 
station at Oxford, July 1892. For a full description see my ‘Flora of 
Berkshire,’ pp. 368-9, and the ‘Annals of Botany’ for December 1896, 
p. 662. The colour of the specimens has now, I am afraid, quite 
deteriorated. In this locality, where only L. vulgaris at one time 
grew, the advent of L. repens, the seeds of which were brought with 
the chalk rubble, led to a most beautiful series of the hybrid being 
produced. The first year (1891) plants were wholly hybrids near 
repens, the second year (1892) almost all stages between the two 
plants were represented, and in 1893 the hybrids were more numerous
