REPORT FOR 1905. 
(17) 
super-Mare, 17th May 1905. Named by Prof. Murbeck. I have 
examined the violets at Kevv and the Brit. Museum, and find 
that this plant figures chiefly as V. flavicornis Sm. of canina. It 
may be the form V, flavicornis Forster of Riviniana^ but of this 
I can find no examples in our public herbaria. The following 
description shews its decided affinity with V, Riviniana. — Plant 
dwarf with rosette of leaves, secondary flowering branch not usually 
developed ; flow'ers few (often only one to a full-grown plant). 
Leaves roundish -cordate, very small, shining and dark-hued below. 
Peduncle long, flowers large — mauve splashed with white — veining 
and spur of Riviniana. The anther-spurs are likewise as in 
Rivinia?ia, and quite unlike those of canina. — E. S. Gregory. 
“ This should certainly equal V. flavicornis^ Forster, but Mrs. 
Gregory’s note shows — what I have learnt from her personally — 
that she does not attach so much importance to characters derived 
from the flowering and lengthening of primary and lateral stems 
as did the older botanists.”— Ed. 
V. Riviniana, Reichb. x silvestris, Reichb. Wood near Wold- 
ingham, Surrey, 24th June 1905. Flowers all sterile. — C. E. Britton. 
“I see no objection to this naming.”— E. F. Linton. “I should 
hesitate to say, judging from leaves alone — which is all this speci- 
men satisfactorily shows — that the violet in question is a hybrid.” — 
D. Fry. 
V. canina, L. var. Dry river-bed, Clogher, Co. Tyrone, 
May 1905, coll. Miss Peck. Has the habit of Riviniana with 
a central rosette of leaves. It is, however, more flesh)^, and there 
are suggestions of canina, especially as regards the anther-spurs. 
Prof. Murbeck writes of this plant : — “ 14th Dec. 1905. V. canina, 
L., forme qui se rapproche un peu de la variete crassifolia, Grdnvall.” 
— E. S. Gregory. 
V. canina x siagnma. Kit. Woodwalton Fen, Huntingdon, 
30th May 1905. Fide Prof. Murbeck. — E. S. Gregory. 
V. nemoralis, Kutzing, V. Kutzmgiana, Rouy et Foucaud. 
Woodwalton Fen, Huntingdon, 30th May 1905. Verified by com- 
paring with Kutzing’s type in Herb. Brit. Museum. — E. S. 
Gregory. 
Viola ? Wood on the North Downs, west of Wrotham, 
West Kent, alt. 700 ft., 4th June 1905. This Pansy grew thickly 
over a small area in a clearing, and presented a magnificent sight. 
The great bulk of the flowers were purple-violet, with the lateral 
and lower petals dark blue-purple and the upper petals reddish- 
purple. There was no cultivated land in the vicinity. — C. E.
