anything off type in this. It occurs on the Oolite of the Isle of Purbeck, 
in an extremely stunted form, yet without any characters to make a 
v'ariety.” — E. F. Linton. “ I agree ; the real interest of this gathering 
consists in its proving that the species is a true native of Britain.” — Ed. 
Euphorbia exigua, van retusa (DC.). Yeldersley, S. Derbyshire, 
2nd August 1901. This was fairly abundant in crops, and the pre- 
valent form, none of the type being seen.^ — W. R. Linton. “Very 
well marked.” — Ed. 
Urlica dioica, L., var. angustifolia, A. Blytt. Wooded gully near 
Dolphinholme, v.-c. 60, W. Lancashire, August 1901. — J. A. Wheldon. 
“ Right.”— Ed. 
U. dioica, L, var. microphylla} Near Ross, Herefordshire, 27th 
August 1901. I do not know whether this is correctly named. — 
Augustin Ley. “ The name would fit this pretty form admirably, 
but I cannot find such a plant described among the numerous varieties 
in DC. ‘ProdromusC nor is it mentioned in any of the reference 
books i-n my possession.” — Ed. 
Salix herhacea x Lapponum. (i) No. 331, Glen Fiagh, Forfar, 
24th July 1894; and cult. 23rd May, 28th June 1898. (2) No. 332, 
orig. Glen Fiagh; cult. 1898, 1901. — W. R. Linton. “Correct.” — Ed. 
Narcissus Pseudo-narcissus, L. Sellack and Eardisley, Hereford- 
shire, April 20th and 24th, 1901. A few specimens of the common 
form, sent for comparison with the next.^ — Augustin Ley. 
N. Pseudo-narcissus, var. lohularis. Haw. ? Pasture at Eardisley, 
Herefordshire, 17th April 1901. The plant sent under this name occurs 
scattered in tolerably large quantity, in company with many thou- 
sands of plants of type N. Psetido-narcissus, over pastures some fifteen 
to twenty acres in extent at Eardisley. There is no question, in my 
judgment, of its being planted. In this plant the lobes and corona of 
the perianth are both full golden yellow, tlie lobes often, but not always, 
as deep as the corona ; the corona obscurely six-lobed, irregularly 
laciniate between the- lobes; edges erect or a little spreading. I could 
not find any plants agreeing exactly with Haworth’s description of N. 
lolndaris as given by Mr. J. G. Baker, ‘ Journ. Bot.,’ vol. xiii. (1884), 
p, 193, nor with the plate there given. Many intermediates occurred 
between the plant with full golden yellow lobes to the perianth and 
ordinary N. Pseudo-narcissus, which might be the result of crossing. 
Lobes of the perianth varying much in breadth, and not as a rule 
broader than in N. Pseudo-fiarcissus. — Augustin Ley. 
/uncus Gerardi, Lois., forma. Salt marsh, Fleetwood, ^Vest Lan- 
cashire, July 1901. Growing with our ordinary form. The present 
plant is much taller and grows in denser clumps. Mr. Bennett states 
that he has seen the same form from Scotland. — J. A. Wheldon. 
“Luxuriant state, probably due to soil and situation. There are parts 
of the Fleetwood marshes where the herbage is very coarse.” — E. F. 
Linton. “ I agree ; just the same state grows on the tidal banks of 
the Thurso river, Caithness.” — Ed.
