Stellaria graminea, Linn. Cottenham Park Road, near Raynes 
Park, Surrey, 19th June 1908. Examples sent to show the dimor- 
phism that exists in this species. The two forms may be found in 
most situations frequented by Stellaria graminea, and occurring in 
patches are very evident to the eye, as they are distinguished by 
their larger or smaller flowers. The one with the larger flowers is 
the hermaphrodite form, and the one with the smaller flowers is 
functionally a female form. Form “ A,” hermaphroditi, has flowers 
with petals quite one-third (or even twice) as long as the sepals ; 
stamen 10 in number, with filaments long and of equal length ; 
anthers reddish at first, afterwards deep brown in colour, pollen 
bearing, and styles as long as stamens. Form “B,” feminine, is 
marked by flowers with petals shorter than (or equalling) the sepals; 
stamen 10 in two series, with filaments dwarfed, five longer and five 
shorter; anthers light brown in colour, pollen not formed; styles 
very prominent exceeding sepals, petals, and stamens. — C. E.

Arejiaria 7 >erna, L. This plant grows abundantly on the 
limestone rocks and hills in Grassington and neighbourhood. It 
ranges over a zone from 700 feet to 1,250 feet above sea-level. It 
flowers most profusely in May. — J. Cryer. 
Sagina ? Near Whiston, S. Lancs., v.-c. 59, Coll. Rev. 
M. Tookey. Near S. Reiiteri, Boiss., var. glabra, Wheld. and 
Ingh., ‘Journ. Rot.,’ 1908, p. iir. This was submitted in a fresh 
state to one of the Club Referees, who named it S. marifima. Be- 
sides being from an inland locality it had neither the texture nor 
technical characters of that species. I should have thought it a 
slender small capsuled form of S. proai?nbens ; but for the fact that 
the central stem seems to always, sooner or later, lengthen and 
flower. There appears to be only the variety named above which 
agrees with it in technical characters. It is so much more robust 
and diffuse, and, hence, so different in appearance from the original 
Yorkshire examples, that it is so named with diffidence; although 
it may be an older, and, perhaps, biennial state. The Rev. M. 
Tookey, who is a most careful observer, says, “ Whenever 1 find the 
central stem lengthening and flowering I find the pedicel nodding 
in fruit. The leaves, too, are regularly somewhat hairy and have 
also often glandular hairs, and the plants are of a dark green colour.” 
— J. A. Whkldon. My specimens are incomplete, not showing the 
roots; but from their appearance I should judge them to be pe- 
rennial, and to belong to S. procumbens, L. — E. S. M. Why not 
ordinary A. procumbens, L. ? — H. and J. Groves. The nodding
