S. herbacea x repens. Ref. No. 2,965. Near the Spittal of Glen 
Shee, v.-c. 89, E. Perth, 14th July 1906, at 1,400 feet. A larger- 
leaved form than No. 2,966. Both are beyond a doubt the offspring 
of these two species, which grow together in plenty thereabouts. — 
Edward S. Marshall and W. A. Shoolbred. 
Liparis Loeselii, Rich., var. From the Glamorgan locality, 
July 1906. Less in quantity this year, and not so fine : the rabbits 
had bitten down a great many plants, and many others did not 
flower. The broader, shorter, blunter leaves, and fewer flowers 
give the west county form of the species a distinct look. It per- 
haps merits a distinct name, and I would suggest var. ovata, if that 
is available. — H. J. Riddelsdell. “We approve of this plant 
being varietally distinguished from the type ; it is well marked off 
from it by the features, to which Mr. Riddelsdell calls attention.” —

Orchis pyrainidalis, L. Sully, Glamorganshire, 26th June 1906. 
N. C. R. — H. J. Riddelsdell. 
O. ericetorum, Linton. In plenty on the upland moors of the 
coal measures. From the Upper Neath Valley, above the River 
Perddyn, Glamorgan, v.-c. 41, 9th and i6th June 1906. — H. J. 
Riddelsdell. “Correct.” — E. F. L. 
Crocus nudiflorus, Sm. Trent Meadows, Nottingham, 19th 
Mar. and 4th Oct. 1906. This plant is likely soon to become ex- 
tinct in this locality, as the meadows by the Embankment on which 
it grew are rapidly being built over. It is now confined to two 
fields, where it grows abundantly with Crocus vernus. — F. L. Foord- 
Kelcey. 
Ornithogalum pyrenaicum, L. Ursleigh Hill, North Somerset, 
i8th April and X4th June 1906. Complete specimens may be use- 
ful to those members who do not live within reach of the growing 
plant, and who may not have seen its leaves. The long flask-shaped 
bulb sends up in March a tuft of leaves something like those of the 
blue-bell, but which grow to a length of about two feet. They are 
too weak to support themselves, and wither before the flowers appear 
in June. It is therefore difficult for a stranger to the locality to 
procure any unless he have marked down flowering plants during 
the previous summer. — Jas. W. White. 
Fota??iogeton Kirkii, Syme. In the River Maam, Galway. Locus 
classicus. Referred to P. spargafiitfolius, by Babington in ‘ Man.’ 
ed. vi., p. 363, but Mr. A. Fryer says it differs from the plant of 
Laestadius, and suggests its being a hybrid of P. tiatans and P. poly-
