Limnanthe?num peltaium, S. P. Gmel. Old canal, Preston-on- 
the-Weald, Salop, 25th Aug. 1904. Evidently planted. It now 
covers about a quarter of an acre in a basin of the canal. — W. H. 
Painter. “ The older name is Ny7nph0id.es orbiculata, Gilib., the 
genus Ny 77 iphoides being founded by Hill in 1756.” — G. C. 
Druce. 
Symphytimi asperrit 7 iu 77 i, Bieb. Naturalized at Wrington, 
Somerset, 9th July 1904. — J. W. White. I take this to be a form 
of the fodder plant referred by Sir Joseph Hooker (Bot. Mag. 
1879, t. 6466) to S. pe/'egrinu 7 n, Ledeb. Sir J. Hooker remarks 
(l.c.) : — “That it is not the true 5 asperrini 7 i 77 i of Bonn, figured by 
Sims in this work (t. 929) is obvious from a comparison of that plate 
in which the calyx is correctly represented as short, and shortly 
5-cleft to the middle only, with obtuse lobes, and which has curved 
j)rickles on the stem arising from conspicuous white tubercles.” 
If, as Mr. Baker (B.E.C. Report 1879, P- 24) suggests, the 
British S. peregrvm 7 )i is a hybrid between S. officviale and 
A. as pert 1771 X 1 ) 71 , that would account for its variability. In the 
present plant the calyx-teeth are certainly shorter and blunter tlian 
in that collected by Mr. White at Brass Knocker Hill in 1894. 
It would be interesting to know whether or not these plants produce 
seeds. — J. G. 
Lvxiosella aqxiatica, L. Near Naphill Common, Bucks, July 
1903. A new county record, but previously found by me near 
Colnbrook. — G. Claridge Druce. 
Euphrasia siricta, Host. Bank above chalk-pit, Odiham, 
N. Hants, loth Sept. 1904. — C. E. Palmer. “ I do not see how 
this differs from E. 7 ie 77 iorosaP — E. S. Marshall. I do not 
pretend to know E. stricta, but Miss Palmer’s specimens do not 
correspond with those we possess from the Continent, nor that 
figured by Mr. Townsend from Lausanne, both of which have 
a firmer and less branched stem, and less spreading and more 
acutely serrate leaves. — J. G. 
E. brevipila, Burn, and Greml. Grassy open clearing in Stoke 
Wood, Stokesay, Salop, Sept. 1904. — J. Cosmo Melvill. “ The 
two specimens sent to me are E. Rostkoviana and E. 7 ie 7 )iorosa ." — 
E. S. Marshall. 
E. . Bredon Hill, Worcestersh., Aug. 1904. Two gather- 
ings. — R. Saunders. “I believe that these are E. ne 77 io 7 -osaP — 
E. S. Marshall. 
Stachys alpma, L. Outskirts of Westridge Wood (600 ft.), 
W. Glos., 6th July 1904. — J. W. WiiriE.
