Vio/a sp. Cockerham Moss, West Lancashire, 25th August 1902. 
— D. A. Jones and J. A. Wheldon. “A member of the ^arvensis' 
series, closely allied to V. mentita, Jordan.” — E. G. Baker. 
V. sp. Odiham, North Hants, i8th July 1902. — C. E. Palmer. 
“A member of the ^arvensis’ series, allied to V. merit ita., Jordan.” — 
E. G. Baker. 
V. sp. Sandy railway bank, Selham, West Sussex, vice-county 13, 
loth May 1902. — E. S. Marshall. “A member of the ^arvensis' 
series, perhaps V. obtusifolia, Jordan.” — E. G. Baker. 
Cerastium semidecandrum, L., forma. This plant grows rather 
plentifully on the greensand formation at Bow Brickhill, Buckingham- 
shire, June 1902. It has a very different facies from the ordinary 
plant of the Midlands, but I have been unable to match it with any 
named form. — G. Claridge Druce. 
Sagina Reuteri, Bois., glandular form. Birkenhead Docks, 
Cheshire (58), 31st July 1902. This has been referred to three 
different species by as many well-known botanists. I cannot agree 
that it belongs to any of our British forms. Mr. Williams says : ‘‘I 
have little doubt that it is S. Reuteri. You will notice that the valves 
of the capsules are emarginate truncate at the tip. In N. apetala the 
outer sepals have a small mucro, and in fruit all the sepals are patent. 
In your specimens all the sepals are much shorter than the capsule ; 
in S. ciliata they are about the same length as the capsule. S. Reuteri 
is a small plant compared with other species of the genus. That 
it is a British plant is very doubtful, and if found near Liverpool I 
would suggest that it was imported with ballast from a Spanish port. 
I have seen Spanish specimens under this name quite as glandular as 
yours; but I suspect that such a character depends upon the station 
where it is found. That a plant introduced from the south of Europe 
would develop some modification in its glandular covering is 
quite likely. I think your specimens are quite distinct from the 
British members of the genus recognised as indigenous.” Mr. 
Bennett, to whom also I submitted specimens, sent me S. Reuteri for 
comparison with my plants, and I could see no difference, except in 
the relative length of the internodes and the denser glandular pedicels 
of my plant. It is new to county 58. — J. A. Wheldon. 
Geranium pusillum, L., forma pallidiflora. In a dry sandy piece 
of ground recently reclaimed from heathland, and now going back to 
its former condition, on the greensand at Bow Brickhill, Buckingham- 
shire, June 1902. The flowers were uniformly paler than in the type, 
and in some instances were nearly white. — G. Claridge Druce. 
Trifoliuni scahrum, L. I send this as a nev/ county record for 
vice-county 35. The Rev. E. S. Marshall and I found it this summer 
growing in great plenty in an old disused quarry at Portskewett, 
together with T. striatum. — W. A. Shoolbred.
