Formby, S. Lancs. (59), July 1902. — J. A. Wheldon. The 
specimens are labelled Hypopitys glabra, Bernh., but he described 
it as a species of Monotropa. It is kept as a sub-species by Rouy 
and Foucaud, under the name H. hypophegea Don Gen. Syst. 3, 
(1834';, 866, of which it appears to be the variety serotina, Rouy 
and Fouc. ‘FI. France,’ iv. p. 10, which it resembles in being 
completely glabrous, but differs in having more numerous flowers,

Statice pubescens, Sm. [S. Unearifolia, Laterr. FI. Bord., 
ed. 2, 189 (1821)), Sgur Mhor, and Ben Dearg, East and West

Lysimachia ciliata, Ait. Garden specimens from roots brought 
from Sebergham, Cumberland, August 1903. — J. Adair. Linnaeus 
is the authority, not Alton. — G. C. D. 
Gentiana lingulata, Agardh., \zx. praecox. Towns, Plentiful on 
Warminster Downs, v.c. S. Wilts. Growing side by side with 
G. Aniare/la, L., this contrasted greatly with it in size, and in 
the colour of its herbage ; being also in full bloom, while the 
other was not yet even in bud. The corolla lobes are frequently 
5, though 4 is the preponderating number. — E. S. Marshall. 
Also as Gentia?ia Amarella, var, praecox, Raf., from the same 
locality. — W. A. Shoolbred. Exactly my plant from the Berk- 
shire downs. — G. C. D. 
Aiichusa officinalis, Linn. var. Llwydcoed, Glamorgan, v.c. 41, 
June 1903. The Rev. E. F, Linton writes; ‘If there were any 
small flowered var. of A. officinalis this might do for a var. parvi- 
flora. It is much like in habit and most particulars, but the 
flowers are ^ — J the size.’ — H. J. Riddelsdell. I doubt its being 
A. officinalis. — G. C. D, Very doubtful confer Lycopsis, — E. G. 
Baker, No, the calyx is divided to the base, instead of half-way. 
It agrees much better in characters with A. italica, Retz., but my 
specimen is clearly abnormal, the stem having been injured at 
an early stage of growth, — E. S. Marshall. 
Linaria vtilgaris x repens. Near Aberystwith, v.c. 46, August 
1903. This plant has been under Professor Salter’s observation 
for some time past, and he has failed to find repens in the 
neighbourhood of Aberystwith. Two forms are sent, one of which 
bears a stronger resemblance to L. //r than the other. — W. H. 
Painter. Yes, one is about midway between the two parents, 
the other is about ^ vulgaris, § repcns. — G. C. I).
