Among the chief items of botanical interest of the year 1906 
are the following : — 
Polygala serpyllacea, Weihe, var. vincoides, Chodat, in lit. 
(‘Journ Bot.’ 1906, p. 35). Leaves elliptical, shortly pointed, sub- 
imbricate, mostly opposite, only the upper ones alternate, raceme 
terminal, short, not at all involucred, wings more elliptical than 
oblong . . . style not at all longer than ovary, seeds ellipsoidal, 
smooth, rather patent, sparingly hairy. Between Redruth and 
Truro, Cornwall. Specimens are distributed this year. — F. Hamil- 
ton Davey. 
SiLENE MARiTiMA, With., var. PARViFOLiA, Druce, in ‘ Journ. 
Bot.’ 1906, p. 30. A large diffuse prostrate plant, with the leaves 
very small ^ in. broad) but with the solitary or sub-solitary 
flowers of the normal size. On the shingle at Looe Bar, Cornwall. 
Spergularia atheniensis, Ascherson & Schweinfurth, Beitr. 
FI. Aethiop. p. 267, 1867. (Buda atheniensis.) In mobile sand 
and dry sandy places, St. Helier’s, Jersey. A Mediterranean species 
distinguished from S. rubra by the broadly-triangular stipules, and 
by the absence of the basal rosette of leaves. — G. Claridge 
Druce. 
OxALis coRNicuLATA, L. It may be well to draw attention to 
a paper in ‘ Journ. Bot.’ 1906, p. 386, in which Mr. B. L. Robinson 
points out that we have been wrong in our application of this name. 
The plant we have been calling O. corniculata should be known as 
O. siricta, L., and vice versa. 
Rubus castrensis, Wolley-Dod. Cheshire (‘Journ. Bot.’ 1906, 
p. 63). This is between R. imbricatus and carpinifolius.
