although the flower was defective. — W. B. More accurately from 
the shores of Loch Assynt, below Beinn Gharbh. This is a fine 
longifolia {intermedia, Drev. and Hayne), a new record for W. 
Sutherland. — E. S. M. 
Callitricha intermedia, Holfm. Loanan River, Inchnadamp, 
W. Sutherland, v.-c. io8, 14th July 1908. Coll. E. S. Marshall; 
Comm. S. H. Bickham. A form or var. with very narrow leaves, 
rather common in the Highlands. — S. S. M. I saw it in the same 
spot two years ago. — G. C. Druce. 
Astrantia major, L. Locally abundant in two places in Stoke 
Wood, Stokesay, Salop, 12th June 1908. This interesting plant is 
gaining ground, and is to be found in plenty at the top of Stoke 
Wood. — J. Cosmo Melvill. 
Danaa cornubiensis, Burnat, Physospermum cornubiense, DC. 
Ruthern Bridge, Withiel, East Cornwall, v.-c. 30, Aug. 1907. Coll. 
H. Groves and C. C. Vigurs. 
Bupleicrum falcatum, L. Norton Heath, Ongar, Essex, Oct. 
1908. Coll. E. Rolleston ; Comm. F. L. Foord-Kelcey. 
B. tenuissimum, L. Near Cardiff, v.-c. 41, Sept. 1908. Not in 
‘Top. Bot.’ or ‘Supplement’ for Glamorgan, though Mr. Bennett 
tells me he has a specimen from the county. — H. J. Riddelsdell. 
Galium erectum, Huds. Near Wilcote, Oxon, June 1908. 
One of the many forms of this variable species; in many instances, ^ 
and perhaps in this, not really native ; but introduced with grass 
seeds. — G. Claridge Druce. Very good erectum, I believe. —

Galhcm erecto-verum. Wood Walton Fen, Hunts., Aug. 1908. 
Gathered with E, W. Hunnybun. Its occurrence here was a special 
feature of interest inasmuch as it must have convinced the most 
sceptical disbeliever in hybrids that such do occur in nature. We 
have on one side G. veriim in plenty, and on the other a form of 
G. erectiwi, Huds. A complete chain of intermediates could be 
seen, in which the flowers varied from pure yellow to white, through 
all the shades; and again the leaves showed all gradations from 
those of erectum to those of verum. I may say that the inter- 
mediates were more frequent than the parent erectum.— Q. Claridge 
Druce. I see nothing against this determination, though the 
specimen before me is a poor one ; it seems nearer G. verum. The 
correct name is G. erectum x verum ; the alternative, erecto-verum, 
being contrary to the usage adopted by the Vienna Congress. —
