the much larger fruit, and by the more wedge-shaped leaves, which 
are of a pale yellowish green. It is a one-styled plant, showing 
no evidence of the presence of C. oxyacanthoides^ and therefore 
cannot be referred to C. oxyacanthoides, var. macrocarpa, Heg. 
Unfortunately the late frosts this year nipped the young foliage 
and flowers so that the May specimens are not good or character- 
istic. Description : — Leaves glabrous, yellowish green, rather large, 
often with subentire sid>es, and cut at the top into three or more 
shallowish-lobed segments. In the younger and upper leaves the 
serratures are more numerous and approximate more closely to 
the type. The veins of the leaves are not conspicuously recurved, 
and in some of the older and lower leaves, which are more entire, 
they may be even slightly incurved. The leaves of the young 
shoots have distinctly recurved venation. The calyx is hairy in 
the flowering stage, but becomes nearly glabrous in the fruiting 
condition. The flowers are not conspicuously larger than the type. 
They are one-styled, and the style is erect, or nearly so. The 
fruit is twice the size of that of the normal Hawthorn, and the 
enlargement takes place after the fruit has begun to change colour ; 
they are one-stoned. The variety grows as a small tree about 
15 feet high, and is less thorny than usual. The conspicuous 
fruit induced the hedger to allow it to grow, while the rest of the 
hedge has been layered.” — G. Claridge Druce. “I do not 
know this. Mr. Druce does not say ‘ mihi,’ but I presume so.” —

C. Oxyacant/ia, L., var. cinerasccns. This monogynous i)lant 
with large leaves of a greyish green colour, having the veins 
definitely recurved and small one-styled fruit, grew on the borders 
of Bucks, near Woodperry, Oxon, Aug. 1905. — G. Claridge 
Druce. “ I do not know this. I suppose ‘ mihi ’ also as with 
the last, but if so it should have been expressed.” — Ar. Bennett. 
“ I can see no reason for calling this a variety — hardly even a form. 
No flower or fruit present on the specimen seen by me.” — Edw. S. 
Marshall. “ Fruits were sent with each leaf example, but the 
railway officials damaged the parcel, and I am afraid gave the 
distributor a great deal of trouble. There is no doubt of the 
difference between this and other forms of Cratcegns with which 
it grew.” — G. C. Druce. 
CalUtriche truiicata.^ Gussone. Stream near Sundridge, W. 
Kent, 27th Sept. 1905. We could not find this in the higher part 
of the stream where it was formerly abundant, but traced it as far 
down as Riverhead. We saw no flower or fruit. — H. and J. 
Groves. “A series of beautiful specimens in Messrs. Groves’ 
own perfect style.” — Ed.
