he named them as above. — J. Cryer. Is not this a form of V. 
saxatilis, Schmidt?— E. S. M. This is V. Lloydii, Jord. It differs 
from the saxatilis set in having short spur and broader petals. Mr. 
Cryer thinks this came from seed of the plant sent to the Club in 
1907, by Major Wolley-Dod, and termed V. carpatica. Borbas, 
about which he expresses a doubt, ‘Report,’ 1908, p. 278. Cer- 
tainly carpatica and Lloydii have been much confused ; but carpatica 
as I know it (and my knowledge is the outcome of a careful ex- 
amination of plants named by Prof. Borbas himself, and kindly lent 
to me by Mr. Wheldon) differs from Lloydii by the much narrower 
and more deeply toothed leaves. I confess to a doubt as to the 
constancy of carpatica (which was originally described as a hybrid). 
It may pass into Lloydii on cultivation. — E. D. 
V. agreslis, Jord. Railway Cutting, near Malpas, Cheshire, 
4th Aug. 1908. Flowers yellowish-white; upper lip rarely pale 
violet. Not our common Cheshire cornfield species, which I think 
is V. ruralis, Jord. It does not grow on the undisturbed soil of the 
railway cutting, but only on the sand excavated by rabbits. — A. II . 
Wolley-Dod. Agrees fairly well with the description in Boreau, 
‘FI. de Fr.,’ p. 81, and specimen from Aberdare, 1902, named 
V. agrcstis, L., by Dr. Drabble ; but peduncle should be more 
spreading : bract should be much below the flower, not on or above 
the curve of peduncle : petals should be lilac or blue or whitish ; 
in tlie Malpas plant they are whitish (violet spots on the petal), and 
the lowest is yellow. — H. J. R. Yes : V. agreslis, Jord. — E. 
Drabble. 
V. arvensis, Mwrx., var. agrcstis {]ord .)1 Sparingly on sandy 
and gravelly soil at Lutterworth, Leicestershire, v.-c. 55, July 1908. 
The palish yellow or straw-coloured petals scarcely e.xceeded the 
sepals. — W. Bell. Poor material, but apparently the same form 
as the Malpas plant. — H. J. R. V. scgetalis, Jord. — E. D. 
V. arvensis, Murr., var. ? Abbey Park, Leicester, v.-c. 55. 
This large flowered form or var. has become naturalized under tlie 
shrubs near the Medicinal Garden, where it is believed to have been 
imported with seeds about 7 or 8 years ago. — W. Bell. In spite ot 
the very large flowers I think this must come under IJoydii, Jord. 
It is not one of the saxatilis set, as it has a short spur. It may be 
a large-flowered state (of IJoydii) due to rich soil. — E. D. 
r. arvensis, Murr., ? Hedge bank, Blackbird Lane, 
Leicester, .Sept. 1908. — W. Bell. (No. 9) I think this must come 
under Lloydii, Jord. — E. 1 ).
