2Q2 THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB OF THE BRITISH ISLES. 
(59), 30th August '1907. In these examples the flowers are much 
smaller than in CE. Lamarkiana, but the stigmas occasionally 
exceed the stamens, especially when they are united before being 
reflexed. The styles are usually about the same length as the 
stamens — J. A. Wheldon. I examined the Linnean type- 
specimen last spring. Although miserably scrappy, it resembled 
this plant in the small size of its flowers ; so the name is probably 
correct. — E. S. M. 
(E. Lamarkiana, Ser. in DC. The three plates, I. to III., 
which accompany this Report, illustrate the growth of this plant at 
St. Anne’s ; they were sent last year, but too late to be included in 
last year’s Report. They are taken from an address to the 
members of the Manchester Field Club on “ De Lamarck’s 
Evening Primrose.” A copy of this address was sent last summer 
to every member of the Botanical Exchange Club. — Charles 
Bailey. 
Carum verticillatum, Koch. Rhostie, Cardiganshire, v.-c. 46. 
Leg. J. H. Salter, D.Sc., 13th Sept. 1907. Communicated, Rev. 
W. H. Painter. I send these specimens in fruit thinking that 
they may be acceptable to members of the Club. 
Falcaria vulgaris, Bernh. Field border (allotments) in the 
outskirts of the city of Lincoln, August 1907. Abundant for a few 
yards. — Augustin Ley. 
Galium erectum, Huds. Origin, Shirley, Derbs. (communicated 
to me by Rev. W. R. Linton). Cultivated 29th August 1907. — 
Augustin Ley. Correct. — E. S. M. 
G. erectum, Huds. From Yeldersley fields, S. Derbs., cult, 
ist July 1907. This is a very rare species in Co. 57 • the present 
plant seems very nearly typical. — W. R. Linton. Yes. W. R. L. 
had doubts about its proper status. — E. S. M. 
G. ochroleucum, Syme non Kit. = G. vero-mollugo, Wallroth ; 
G. decoloraiis, Grenier et Godron. Grassy roadside waste, Eailand, 
North Somerset; loth Aug. 1907. Growing with G. verum and 
G. Mollugo, these plants certainly appear to be the result of crossing 
between those species. The several patches produce stems varying 
in character and tint of flowers ; some favouring one parent and 
some the other. At the end of September gatherings shewed only 
abortive ovaries. I could not find a single good fruit. The speci- 
mens agree well with examples gathered abroad ; but I have some- 
times doubted if the continental plant be really a hybrid, for it 
is of general distribution in Southern Europe, and often grows
