378 THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB OF THE BRITISH ISLES. 
Galium asperum, Schreb. Colley Hill, Reigate, Surrey, 31st 
May and 7th June 1908. Following the ‘ Lond. Cat.,’ Ed. X., I 
labelled these specimens G. asperum^ Schreb., but possibly a better 
name would be G. sylvestre, Poll., var. htspidum, Schrad., leaving 
asperum to represent the much scarcer British plant (which I have 
from Matlock) with lower leaves densely hairy and scabrid on the 
surface. — C. E. S.^lmon. In ‘Prod. P'l. Brit.,’ Part V., p. 219, 
Mr. Williams gives the name G. austriacum, Jacq., for the mountain 
plant, which he retains as a distinct species leaving G. asperum^ 
Schreb., for the more soutliern species. This gets out of the difficulty 
of priority involved in using Pollich’s name. — G. C. Druce. 
Galium palustre^ L., var. elongatum (Presl.). Ditch, Magor, 
Mon., v.-c. 35, 7th Sept. 1908.— W, A. Shoolbred. Quite right. 
From a considerable accjuaintance with this plant, I am disposed 
to think it is a good species. Nyman keeps it separate from G. 
paluslre. — E. S. M. 
Galium Apariue, L., form or var. Bank by roadside, Pwll- 
meyric, Mon., v.-c. 35, 30th May and 15th June 1908, d 1 iis 
appears to be a somewhat common form of G. Apart ue in this 
district, especially when young it has a very distinct appearance, 
looking somewhat more like G. Vaillantii than ordinary G. Aparine. 
— W. A. Shoolbreu. Also sent by Rev. E . S_. MarshaU from same 
place, dat ed 30th M ay. Very distiiict-looking when fresh, with a 
d i ffe r e n t li abit ho m ordinary “ Cleavers,” It is, 1 think, the same as 
a plant, from the North Coast of Sutherland, which Mr. Arthur 
Bennett named for me as var. ant^ustifolium, Meyer, — E. S. M. 
Could this be the var. tenerum, Reichb., mentioned in Lange’s 
‘ Danske Flora’? — C. E. Salmon. 
G. Vaillantii^ DC. Allotments, Fairford, v.-c. 33, 14th July 
1908. New record for E, Gloster. Sparingly in one spot, abund- 
antly in another. Flowers a sickly hue of yellowish green. Growing 
with G. Aparine^ the fruits of which are much larger ; but in both 
species the fruits are hispid with hooked hairs. — H. J. Riddelsdell. 
Correct. — E. S. M. 
P^alerianella carinata^Voh. 1. Edgeombe Avenue, Newquay, 
W. Cornwall, v.-c. i, 24th May 1908. — Coll, and Comm. C. (L 
Vigors. 2. Hedge-bank, Buckland, Surrey, 8th June 1908. — C. E. 
Salmon. 
Aster ? Established many years on the quarried hillside 
below Hawkesbury, Upton, W. Glos., 12th Oct. 1907. 1 should 
be glad if some botanist acquainted w'ith these plants will give me 
a name for it. — J. W. White.
