(Jord.) of ‘Lon. Cat.,' Ed. X.— H. J. R. 
V. nana, DC = V. Kitaibeliana, Reichb., var. nana (DC). 
From the Quenvais, Jersey, June 1906 and April 1907. This 
appears to be quite a distinct species ; the tiny flowers often 
suffused with purplish-violet are very curious. It also occurs 
on the L’Ancresse Common, Guernsey. — G. Claridge Druce. 
Viola arz’ensis, var. 9 ia 7 ia DC of ‘ Lon. Cat.,’ Ed. X. — H. J. R. 
Polygala Amarella^ Crantz. A few rose-tinted and white-flowered 
specimens to supplement those sent last year. I enclose also a few 
blue-flowered from a new station. These were found growing on 
very wet stony ground on the lower northern slope of Hawkswick 
Clowder, eight to nine hundred feet above sea-level. 
Hawkswick Clowder is a hill 1,500 ft. high between Kilnsey 
and Arnclifife in Wharfedale, Yorkshire. — John Cryer.

gallis ccerulea, Cerinthe mhior., Silene dichotonia, &c. — Charles
