a few specimens bearing partially developed fruits, generally with 
one, sometimes with two, but never with all three carpels developed , 
but by the 14th of July cleistogamous flowers only were to be seen, 
and these are completely barren. K ericetorum and V. Riviniana 
(also^ V. hirtd) grow close by. The Rev. E. F. Linton (in ‘ Journ. 
Bot.,’ 1907) says this hybrid is always sterile. I have not examined 
the pollen. — C. C. Vigurs.

Coll. E. W. Hunnybun — E. S. Gregory. Also (13th June 
1907) from S. H. Bickham. 
The Fen violets gathered by Mr. Hunnybun and sent by me to 
the Club, have acquired a new interest through notes recently 
received from Mr. Becker, of Hedersleben, Germany. In October 
1907, I put up a set of four plants (all from Woodwalton) which 
I considered tolerably distinct and sent them first to Dr. Neuman 
labelled thus : — 
I. V. stagnina^ Kit. FIs. small, whitish, slightly tinged pale 
blue, spur greenish. 
II. V. canina, L. FIs. larger, bright blue, spur yellow. 
HI. V. stagnina x canina. Leaves thick, roughish, fls. pale 
blue. (This plant had been named for me in 1905, by Prof. 
Murbeck.) 
IV. V. nemoralis, Kiitzing. Leaves thinner, fls. pale blue. 
Dr. Neuman replied as follows 
I. V. stagnina, recte. 
II. V. canina (i crassifolia, Gronvall. 
III. V. canina x pumila, vel. pumila x Riviniana, probably 
the latter. Stipules too long to be of canina X stagnina. 
IV. V. Montana, L. (syn. V. nemoralis, Kiitzing). 
By Mr. Arthur Bennett’s advice, I sent the same plants to
