REPORT FOR 1909. 437 
1 he Style is well marked and almost as long as that of R . 
amphibia. — C. E. B. 
Mr. Britton kindly sent me living specimens of this interesting 
plant, which I agreed with him in thinking to be the suggested 
hybrid. The fruit is too young to afford much evidence, but looks 
as if it would be sterile. — E. S. Marshall. A very interesting 
hybrid, and presumably correctly identified ; the x R. erythrocaulis 
(Borbas), teste Rouy and Fouc., ‘ FI. de Fr.’ — G. C. Druce. 
Hybrids are always more difficult to determine when dried than 
when growing, and no doubt Mr. Britton is right. The fruit seems 
that of amphibia^ and the leaves might do for var. variifolia. Is 
this “ variety ” really a hybrid ? — C. E. Salmon. 
Barbarea inlermedia., Bor. Clover Field, Lower Morden, 
Surrey, v.-c. 17, May 12, 1909. Correct. — S. H. Bickham, A. 
Ley, E. S. Marshall and C. E. Salmon. 
F.rophila ? Covering a gravel walk in a garden, Brampton 
Abbots, Herefordshire, v.-c. 36, April 6, 1909. — Augustin Ley. 
These specimens hardly do justice to the very distinct look of the 
growing plants, which caught my attention during a visit to Mr. Ley, 
soon after he had collected them. Broadly speaking, they must be 
referred to R. verna, E. Meyer ; the foliage is not that of our usual 
form, and the capsules rather reminded me of E. majusciila, Jord., 
but the petals were not veined as in that segregate. We have in 
Britain at least two or three Erophilce still to be worked out, for 
which French botanists’ assistance is desirable.- -E. S. Marshall, 
Sisymbrium orientale., Linn. (A. Coltimnce., Jacq.). Docks, 
Birkenhead, Cheshire, v.-c. 58, Aug., 1909. — J. A. Wheldon. 
Correct. — G. C. Druce. 
Brassica ? Cliffs of the Steep Holmes, Somerset N., v.-c. 
6, May, 1909. In some abundance, and as it occurs on the same 
cliff as the Peony, it has some bearing upon the status of the latter 
plant in our flora. — G. C. Druce. The stem-leaves are remarkably 
hispid with long, stiff hairs. It is not Briggsii, Wats., and seems 
to fit B. Rapa, a. sativa, Wats., best of our British plants ; but I 
have much doubt about its proper name — E. S. Marshall. No 
ripe fruit. Seems to be B. Rapa, L. — C. E. Salmon. 
Lepidium campestre, R. Br., var. lo?igisiylum. More. Ivory 
Hill, near Frampton Cotterell, West Glouc., v.-c. 34, July 29, 1909. 
A very distinct form that simulates Z. Smithii, but the pouches are 
scaly. Stems many from the root, very leafy ; styles twice as long 
as the notch. It agrees well with Rouy and Foucaud’s description 
of their ydst. foliosum.
