W. Moyle Rogers and A. Ley, and which they are both agreed is 
A\ Leitii. New Record for Cardigansliire. See ‘Journal of Botany,’ 
1901, p. 381 ; 1907, p. 319. — W. H. Painter. Bolston Wood, 
Herefordshire, 31st July 1907. See ‘Journ. Bot.,’ 1907, pp. 319, 
320. Since writing the above, the Rev. W. M. Rogers has e.x- 
pressed himself satisfied with the practical identity of this Hereford- 
shire plant with the Irish R. Augustin Ley. The Bolston 
Wood plant differs from the Cos. Down and Armagh type Leitii 
by its stem-prk. rather more unequal, and with stouter 'base ; 
stipules conspicuously narrower (nearly filiform instead of rather 
broadly lanceolate), and panicle browner, more irregular in outline, 
and with less remarkably needle-like pale prk. which seem always 
eglandular, while only mostly so in the Irish plant. Slight and 
unimportant as these differences may seem in detail, the aggregate 
result is such that I felt some difficulty at first as to specific identity. 
But the large series of specimens which I have received from 
Mr. Ley, at intervals since 1901, have now convinced me that his 
Herefordshire plant cannot be kept distinct from the Irish type. 
I also agree with his suggestion that Mr Painter’s Cardigansliire 
plant should go with the Herefordshire one. Here, however, 
a fresh difficulty arises in the fact — possibly due to mixture — that 
most of Mr. Painter’s stem-pieces are (quite unlike my R. Lettii) 
either glabrous or glabrescent. I should add that generally the 
Welsh plant is less conspicuously grey and hairy than the Irish. — 
W. Moyle Rogers. 
R. adenanthus, Boul. and Gill, forma. Several bushes in hedges 
at Aberdare, Glam., 14th August 1905 and 3rd August 1907. 
Flowers faint blush, nearly white, cup shape, petals rather broad. 
Mr. Rogers saw the 1905 gathering, and specimens of 1906 also, 
when he wrote, “ I think it impossible to separate any of these 
from my Gorey Bay R. adenanthus, which they resemble more 
closely than W.-Dod’s Cheshire plant does. The latter is much 
more glandular and aciculate than the Jersey plant.” — H. J. 
Riddelsdell. 
R. radula, Weihe, subsp. anglicanus, Rogers. Bournemouth 
neighbourhood, S. Hants and Dorset; very common; July and 
August 1907. Off type radula towards R. ericctorum, Lefv. ; but 
I am convinced after many years of study under favourable cir- 
cumstances, nearer to the former than to the latter, in spite of 
M. Stidre’s opinion to the contrary. It is truly radulan in armature, 
though often less conspicuously so than type radula ; while R. 
ericetorum is characteristically sub-Koehlerian. 
Among other marked differences the following are usually ipiite 
conspicuous, in addition to the distinct stem armature : — 
R. anglicanus, Is. 5 nate-digitate (thick). Term. It. round
