Silette maritima x hiflata. Hort, Shooter's Hill; orig., Woolwich 
Arsenal, v.-c. i6, W. Kent, ist July and loth October 1901. This plant 
may, after all, be only a very luxuriant form of the type. The flowers 
and the barren shoots at the base are entirely those of jnaritima ; but 
the considerably branched panicle is unlike anything I have seen in 
that species. This is seen best in the July gathering ; the October 
branches hardly represent the plant properly, and might well be put 
to maritima pure and simple. A strong point in favour of hybridity 
is that the capsules are quite barren and undeveloped, while good 
maritima growing alongside of it in the Arsenal produces seed in 
abundance. The plant in its natural station has now succumbed to 
new buildings for the production of war material, and S. maritima, 
for West Kent, has gone with it. — A. H. Wolley-Dod. “The two 
species are so closely allied that the occurrence of a hybrid between 
them is quite probable ; and these specimens are just about what 
might be expected to result. The sterility decidedly favours this 
view.” — Ed. 
Arenaria serpyllifolia, L., var. leptoclados (Guss.). Growing in 
profusion upon railway ballast, Farley Dingle, Much Wenlock, Salop, 
August 19th, 1901. — W. H. Painter. “d'ypical A. leptoclados, 
which Mr. F. N. Williams (I believe rightly) retains as a distinct 
species.” — Ed. 
A. serpyllifolia, E., var. (Jord.). Sandy waste, Llandudno, 
Carnarvon, i8th June 1901. Substantially the same plant as that 
sent abounded on the dry limestone of the Great and Little Orme’s 
Heads, in small forms often not more than one inch high. The 
specimens sent were from sandy flats south of the town. — Augustin 
Ley. “Correct.”- — Ed. 
Malva pusilla, Sm. Aberdare, v.-c. 41. Glamorganshire, 1901. — 
H. J. Riudelsdell. = M. Imnalis, \Vallr. Seems correct.” — Ar. 
Bennett. “ Right.” — E. F. Linton. 
Genista anglica, L. Bog, near Docker, West Lancashire, May 
1901. Sent as a confirmation of record for v.-c. 60. — Albert 
Wilson. 
Lotus comiculatus, L. Starved form. Longstone Edge, 1 )erby- 
shire, 22nd July 1898. Grows with the type for nearly a mile along 
the south face of a dry limestone declivity. At first sight I took it 
for a good variety ; but now consider it rather a local form due to want 
of nourishment in the soil and drought. I have also seen it near 
Baslow, along a dry cart-track. It differs from the type in the much 
smaller flowers, the standard not being reflexed, and nicked rather 
than apiculate, pale yellow ; the wings narrow oblong, the exiguous 
erect habit and small pale green foliage, and seeming inability to 
produce fruit. — W. R. Linton. 
Coronilla varia, L. Apparently naturalised and growing freely by 
the Cheshire Lines Railway on the bank between Otterspool and
