Rapistrum orientale, L. Waste ground west of All Saints’ 
Road, St. Anne’s-on-Sea, N. W. Lane. 13th Oct. 1906. — C. 
Bailey. 
R. perenne, All. West of Brighton, v,-c. 14th, E. Sussex. 
July 1906 ; fidt G. C. Druce. — -T. Hilton. 
Reseda stricta, Pers. Some large plants of this Spanish species 
are quite naturalized on the stonework of Wytham Mill, Berks. 
Sept. 1906, I trust I am correct in the above identification, but 
this is not a very easy genus. The description in Persoon’s 
‘Synopsis,’ vol, ii., p. 10, is “ Caule simplicissimo, fol. omnibus 
trifidis linearibus, flor. pendulis, fruct. erectis clavatis. Cal. 6-fidus, 
rugosus, Cor. fimbriatis, alba.” The flowers of plant are tinged with 
yellow. R. stricta is not included in Dunn’s ‘ Alien Flora.’ — 
G. Claridge Druce. 
Viola hirta, L., showing cleistogamous flowers. Lane near 
Pit, Winchester, i8th May 1906. Specimens of this state of 
common plant will no doubt be welcome to most members. — 
A. B. Jackson. 
V. hirta, forma nova I Scraptoft, Leics., 13th May 1906. — 
A. R. Horwood. “ This is the ‘ small form of hirta ’ mentioned 
in ‘Journ. Bot.,’ 1904, p. 68. I have specimens of it from Box 
Hill, and Buckland Hill, Surrey. Whether it is deserving of varietal 
distinction can only, in my opinion, be determined by cultivation.” 
— W. R. L. “Nearest to V. calcarea, Greg., though the spur of 
one flower is longer than is usual. The leaf-folding is pretty 
conclusive.” — E. S. Gregory. 
V. silvestris, Reich., forma leucantha, G. Beck. Strong 
plants growing on a made calcareous bank near Porthkerry, 
Glamorgan, v.-c. 41, i8th April 1906. The flower is small, and 
very nearly white, with the characteristic spur of the species, and 
otherwise typical. A New County record. — H. J. Riddelsdell. 
“ Leucantha I should say.” — E. S. Gregory. 
V. tricolor, L. Tillage field, Brilley, Herefordshire, loth 
September 1905. A handsome, large-flowered form resembling 
V. Sagoti, Jord. I worked this out at the Brit. Museum in company 
with Mr. E. G. Baker. — Augustin Ley. “Seems like a degenerate 
gardefi pansy.” — E. S. Marshall. 
Polygala vulgaris, L. var. On the coast sands at Aberafan 
and Port Talbot, Glamorgan, v.-c. 41, 30th June 1906. Plant 
smaller than type, lower leaves absent, probably worn off by 
trituration, upper leaves much shorter, tough and leathery looking.
