short, not more than four inches in length, slender flaccid, leaves 
shortly petiolate, stipules small, entire or toothed only at the apex, 
leaflets obovate lanceolate, with only one or two teeth at the leaf 
apex, not deeply toothed as in the type, flowers small on long slender 
pedicels, leaflets of the epicalyx only half the length of the calyx. 
Dr. Domin considers that the occurrence of this variety in England 
is interesting from a phyto-geographic point of view. On the 
Continent it is very rarely found except in the Alps, though a plant 
coming near the variety occurs in S. Bohemia (Domin) and Dresden 
(Wolf). The Richmond specimens agree very well with Cornish 
examples collected by Mr. Davey and named by Dr. Wolf, the 
monographer of the genus. — A. B. Jackson. I fail to see why this 
should be called a variety ; to me it appears to be only a starved 
state^ which is common enough in such situations. — E. S. M. 
In the total absence (in the specimens I received) of the 
characteristic root-leaves, and in the absence of the compactness 
which Mr. F. H. Davey and I take from Mr. A. Bennett to be the 
chief features of this variety, it is impossible to accept this as 
Zimmeter’s var. sciaphila. Vide ‘ B. E. C. & Watson E. Club 
Reports’ for 1905, and ‘Jour. Roy. Inst. Cornwall,’ No. LII. (1905).

P. sp. ? Clogher Valley, Co. Tyrone, June 1907.— 
C. L. Peck. Two Sheets: — i. Leaves sessile; stipules much 
cut ; flowers small. P. erecta, Hampe {sylvesiris, Neck.). 2. a. 
Leaves stalked ; stipules undivided ; flowers fairly large. P. pro- 
cumbens, Sibth. b. Leaves more shortly stalked, the leaflets 
narrower and more deeply cut ; stipules more or less cut ; flowers 
intermediate. A poor specimen ; but I am pretty sure that it is 
P. erecta x procuinbens. — E. S. M. 
P. rupestris, L. Radnorshire, June 1907. Still unknown 
from any other station in Radnor.— Augustin Ley. A very 
freely seeding plant. It is remarkable that it does not spread. — 
H. J. R. 
Rosa mollis, Sm., var., cceriilea, Woods. Thicket on Cefn hill, 
Herefordshire (at about 1,250 ft.), 9th Sept. 1907. New County 
record for the variety. — Augu.stin Ley. Var. aerulea should have 
the peduncles and fruit nearly or quite smooth. In my specimen 
these are decidedly glandular-hispid; so I think that the varietal 
name cannot stand. — E. S. M. 
R. omissa, Deseg., var. submollis (Ley). Road hedge, near 
Melton Ross. Plantation near Grasby; both North Lincoln. 
New Vice-County record.— Augustin Ley.
