1904, and Llyfnant Valley, Cardigan, June 1904. — W. H. Painter. 
“ The two specimens received (from Parson’s Bridge) are clearly 
the same form of brevipila which is sent from Llanbadarn, crossed 
with E. Rostkoviana. The habit is almost wholly that of the 
former, and there are many short, eglandular hairs and some short- 
stalked glands, but the numerous long-stalked glands prove Rosl- 
koviana to be the second factor.” — E. S. M. 
E. curta, Wettst., var. glabrescens, Wettst. Sand-hills, near 
Formby, v.-c. 59, Sept. 1905. New to S. Lancs.? Going towards 
E. nemorosa in its laxer habit of growth than usual, but its leaves 
not awned and their grey green colour seem to suggest E. curta. 
I confess, however, to great difficulty in separating glabrescent 
forms of E. curta from E. nemorosa, — J. A. Wheldon. “Some 
of these are very glabrous even for the var. glabrescens., and I quite 
agree as to the difficulty of separating such forms from E. nemorosa. 
Perhaps, however, the large broad terminal lobe of the leaf will 
help to distinguish it.” — Cedric Bucknall. 
E. stricta., Host. South Croxton, Leics., July 1905, coll. 
Miss O. M. Horvvood. — A. R. Horwood. “ Certainly not E. 
stricta., Host., which has remarkably straight erect-growing branches. 
I think that it is an unusual form of E. nemorosa, H. Mart., but 
the line between that and some of the plants which Wettstein has 
named for me as E. curta, var. glabrescens is very difficult to draw.” 
Edw. S. Marshall. “ Some of the smaller specimens are dis- 
tinctly hairy and might readily be taken for E. curta, y 20c. glabrescens, 
especially as the flowers are rather small for E. stricta. But the 
calyx-teeth generally exceeding the capsule, the more elongate 
lower stem leaves, and the acute teeth of the upper leaves and 
bracts point rather to E. stricta, and I therefore am inclined to 
leave these specimens as labelled.” — Cedric Bucknall. 
E. stricta. Host. Hamilton Grounds, Leic.,v.-c. 55, Aug. 1905. 
The late Mr. F. Townsend, to whom specimens from this station 
were submitted in 1904, wrote, “.S. stricta, but not typical.” — 
W. Bell. “ I think that Prof. Wettstein would name these 
E. curta, Fr., var. glabrescens, Wettst.” — E. S. M. 
E. salisburgensis, Funk. Nantenan, near Askeaton, co. Limerick, 
nth August 1905. — C. H. Waddell. “Certainly not; the leaves 
not having the characteristic teeth, and the capsule being ciliate. 
The short glands on the leaves and calyces leave no doubt but 
that it is E. brevipila. Burn, and Gremli.” — C. Bucknall. “ Not 
at all like salisburgensis. The four plants on my sheet are all 
more or less glandular. Either an unusual form of E. brevipila, 
or (possibly) E. brevipila x nemorosal' — E. S. M.
