REPORT FOR 1 908. 365 
pedicel and perennial growth I think remove it ‘from Reuteri to 
procumbens. — G. C. Druce. 
Spergula arvensis, L. Barley-field, South Knighton, Sept. 1908, 
v.-c. 55. — W. Bell. Yes; = S. vulgaris (Boenn,), a form of it 
which is rather more glandular than usual. — J. A. Wheldon. The 
ripe seeds are well covered with club-shaped papillte, so the plant 
goes to 6”. arvensis^ L. (^S. vulgaris, Boenn.) — C. B. and J. W. 
White. I believe this to be A. saliva, Boenn., though the foliage 
is usually more densely- glandular. — E. S. M. Is arvensis, L. — 
C. E. S. Seeds distinctly papillale, hence S. arvensis, L. = S. vulgaris, 
Boenn. — G. C. Druce. 
Spergula saliva, Boenn. Fields near Massbridge, S. Lancs., 
v.-c. 59, Aug. 1908. Although said to be very common in the ‘Flora 
of Liverpool,’ this very glandular form seems to be much rarer on 
the north bank of the Mersey than S. arvensis, Linn. — J. A. 
Wheldon. Right. — E. S. M. 
Malva rotundifolia, L. Allotment Gardens, Belgrave, Leicester, 
v.-c. 55, Sept. 1908. At first I was inclined to put this under 
M. pusilla, Sm., but Mr. C. E. Salmon writes : “ This is, to me, 
M. rotundifolia : it has the short outer sepals, smooth carpels, &c., 
of that species.” — W. Bell. Yes. — H. J. R. and G, C. D. 
Malva parviflora, L. (i) Whitehawk Down, Brighton, Oct. 
1908. Alien. — T. Hilton. (2) On the site of an old poultry run at 
the corner of Devonshire Road and North Drive, St. Anne’s-on-the- 
Sea, W. Lancs., 3rd Aug. 1907. — C. Bailey. Yes: the glabrous- 
fruited state. ‘ Bab. Man.,’ Ed. IX., p. 70, only mentions the form 
with hairy carpels ; but Coste, ‘ FI. France,’ mentions both. — 
C. E. S. 
[Mr. C. E. Salmon' writes : — “In the ‘ B.E.C. Report’ 1906, 
p. 215, and in the ‘Watson B.E.C. Report’ 1906-7, p. 83, Malva 
pusilla is noted from St. Anne’s-on-Sea, 22nd Sept. 1906. — 
C. Bailey. In the former ‘Report’ the name is not questioned ; 
in the latter, both the Revs. E. S. Marshall and E. F. Linton call 
the plant M. rotundifolia. On looking at my sheet of specimens, 
I see that both Mr. C. Bailey and his critics are correct, for while 
one example on the sheet is undoubtedly M. pusilla, Sm. (with 
reticulate carpels and long outer sepals), the other is unmistakably 
M. rotundifolia, L. (with smooth carpels and much shorter outer 
sepals). Perhaps others have a mixture of specimens also.”] 
Linum perenne, L. Gogmagog Hills, Cambridgeshire, 5th Aug. 
1907. Fruiting specimens of this beautiful plant. — Coll. A.
