which it presents is in the length of the pods, or siliqiies ; these 
are from an inch to an inch and a quarter long, or half the normal 
length of continental specimens. The fruiting heads are flat-topped, 
and the minute seeds are produced in profusion ; the seeds are 
readily wind-borne, so that the plant may occur elsewhere than in 
its present station. The flowers are of a full yellow, in crowded 
spikes.” 
Brassica Cheiranthus, Vill. Abundant about the Docks at 
Port Talbot, Glamorganshire; July 1904. — G. Claridge Druce. 
This was recorded from Merthyr Tydfil in 1850 : from Porthcawl 
neighbourhood in 1902 (J. of B. 1902, p. 316), and Port Talbot 
1902 (J. of B. 1902, p. 248). On the strength of the latter record 
it has been entered without remark in Top. Bot. ed. 2, Supp., 1905, 
for Glamorgan. Mr. Marshall remarks that it looks native near 
Port Talbot. I have seen it both at Port Talbot and Porthcawl, 
and judging by the character of its occurrence in both places, 
I should unhesitatingly call it ‘ introduced ’ in vc. 41. It is very 
abundant about Port Talbot Docks, and is certainly an alien there. 
— H. J. Riddelsdell. 
Thlaspi alpesire^ L., var. sylvestre (Jord.). By the Bradford, at 
Youlgreave, Derbyshire, 5th June 1904. — A. B. Jackson. “ Ap- 
parently a somewhat elongated form of T. virens^ Jord.” — H. and 
J. Groves. 
Viola silvestris, Reich, x V. Riviniana, Reich., near Bred- 
hurst {26th June 1898), near Park House, Eynsford (3rd July 
1898), and Imes Hill (2nd Sept. 1900), W. Kent; Angling Spring 
Wood, Great Missenden (22nd July 1900), and wood near Amer- 
sham Station (5th June 1904), Bucks. — C. E. Britton. Speci- 
mens from the Bredhurst and Amersham gatherings were referred 
to Mr. Beeby, who writes : — “ I think there is little doubt that 
these are rightly named, but I do not know this hybrid very well.” 
V. ericetorum^ Schrad. x V. Riviniana^ Reich. By the high 
road between Amersham and High Wycombe and near Mop End, 
Bucks, 2nd Oct. 1898; near Prestwood, Bucks, 22nd July 1900; 
Farley Green, and Netley, and Banstead Heaths, Surrey, August 
1900. — C. E. Britton. Of the Farley Green plant Mr. Beeby 
says, “ Yes, subrivmiana form,” of that from Banstead Heath, 
“Yes, subericetorum form.” 
V. lactea^ Sm. Beckton Bunney, Hordle, S. Hants, June 
1904. The cliffs are remarkably friable at this point, and every 
year large landslips occur, consequently in a short time this locality 
will, in all probability, have ceased to exist. — J. Cosmo Melvill.
