REPORT FOR 1901. 
5 
Arab's petraa, Lam. Stony hillside, Larig Pass, Easterness, at 
about 2750 feet, 29th August 1901. — H. Groves. “Sent to show the 
range of variation in this locality from the very nearly glabrous form 
to the var. hispida, DC.” — H. and J. Groves. “I should refer most of 
the specimens to var. hispida, which is the prevailing plant on the 
Cairngorms.”- — -Ed. 
Sisymbrium polyceratium^ L. Birkenhead, Cheshire, 2nd October 
1901. This grows abundantly on waste land by the Great Float, 
Birkenhead. The clay on which it seems to spread so rapidly was 
excavated from the Old Wallasey Pool when they deepened it for 
dock purposes. I noticed it first last year ; but I should think, from 
the way in which it has extended itself, it must have been there for 
some time.— S. Gasking. “Yes.” — E. F. Linton. “The preparation 
of these specimens leaves much to be desired.” — Ed. 
A. pannonicum^ Jacq. On the slopes of the railway bridge, St. 
Thomas’s Road, and the corner of Links Road, St. Anne’s-on-the-Sea, 
West Lancashire, v.-c. 60, 31st August 1901; mature fruit, 3rd 
September 1901. — Charles Bailey. “Correct.”- — Ed. 
Lepidmm rtiderale^ L. On waste ground off St. David’s Road, 
near the railway line, St. Anne’s-on-the-Sea, West Lancashire, 31st 
August 1901. Not recorded for v.-c. 60 in ‘Topographical Botany,’ 
p. 95.” — Charles Bailey. “ N. C. R.” — Ar. Bennett. “Evidently 
a mere casual here.” — Ed. 
Viola Riviniajia x silvestris. Under beech trees at foot of the 
Downs, Graffham, v.-c. 13, W. Sussex, 6th May 1901. Growing with 
abundance of both parents ; a good intermediate. Spur coloured, 
hardly furrowed. — Edward S. Marshall. 
V. carpatica, Borbas. Simmonswood, v.-c. 59, South Lancashire, 
July 1901. Although less robust than the original plants collected on 
Cockerham Moss by Mr. Alfred Wilson and myself, and referred here 
by Prof. Borbas and Mr. E. G. Baker, I believe they are identical. 
All these are from one large root. The plant is at least biennial. It 
is common in the vicinity of most of our Lancashire mosses. — J. A. 
Wheldon. “Unfortunately, only two sheets were actually sent.” — Ed. 
V. . Llwydcoed, v.-c. 41, Glamorgan, 1901. This Viola is 
a large, straggling, branched, prostrate plant (or nearly prostrate), and 
is to be found chiefly on a piece of cultivated ground at Llwydcoed, 
though it also occurs on waste ground near Aberdare occasionally. 
Another form, of quite different habit, occurs in the grounds of this 
house (Abernant House, Aberdare).— H. J. Riddelsdell. “ V. 
arvensis, Murr.” — Ed. 
Dianthus prolifer, L. (i) Pagham, v.-c. 13, W. Sussex, June 24th 
and July 29th, 1901 ; native. — Edward S. Marshall. (2) The 
Quenvais, Jersey, July 14th, 1901. — L. V. Lester.
