REPORT FOR I909. 
449 
gard to the date of flowering P. Crantzii is out in Switzerland 
in June, and a British specimen in ‘ Herb. Mus. Brit.’ from Craig 
Breidden, Montgomery (alt. 1,000 ft.) is dated June i, 1871. 
Ihese specimens are apparently only just beginning to flower. 
— H. W. PUGSLEY. 
Potentilla ?iorvegica, 1 ^. Finchley, v.-c. 21, July 1909. — E. 
and H. I). Abundant on waste ground, which will be built upon 
before next season. — E. Drabble. Certainly not norvegica, which 
belongs to a ternate-leaved section of the genus. This must be P. 
intermedia, L., as is shown by the peculiar character of the lower 
stem-leaves. They have a tendency to become pinnate by trifid 
division of the terminal leaflet. _ “ End Blattchen an dem mittleren 
StgB, manchmal 3 schnittig (Ubergang zur Fiederung) ” — ‘ Koch 
Syn.’ ed. iii. p. 8io. — C. Bucknall and J. W. White. 
Rosa Jiibe 7 -nica, Templeton, var. glabra, Baker. In shade, 
Tillysburn, Co. Down, July 23, 1909. — C. H. Waddell. In 
the ‘Supplement to Flora N. E. Ireland,’ p. 165, it is stated M. 
Crepin places it under this variety, adding “ un peu pubescente”! 
The situation is a shady one, and this may account for the want 
of pubescence. The flowers as a rule drop off, and fruit is not 
ripened. — ^C. H. Waddell. Not var. glabra, but under type 
hibernica, differing only in being a little less hairy beneath the 
leaves. They are by no means glabrous ; they should be absolutely 
so in var. glabra, in which moreover the shape of the leaflet differs 
considerably from these. — A. H. WPlley-Dod. Not var. glabra, 
but showing many leaflets nearly or quite glabrous below, whilst 
others have the midrib and some veins, and occasionally the surface 
more or less clothed with long hairs. In my specimens from 
Templeton’s original station, the same seemingly glabrescent 
tendency is shown. This form is probably identical with that of 
the original station. — W. Barclay. 
Rosa pomifera, Herrm. Mountain Rocks at Taren-’r-Esgob, 
Brecon, v.-c. 42, July 20, 1909.— Augustin Ley. Rather R. 
Grefiierii or even mollis, to judge from the pinnate sepals, small 
fruits and eglandular not parallel-sided leaflets. — A. H. Wollev- 
Dod. I agree, not typical pomifera: R. Grenierit, Deseg., is, 
I believe, placed under R. pomifera, Herrm., by most continental 
authors; the leaflets vary much in shape in my plant, often showing 
greater parallelism of the sides than I believe to be consistent with 
R. mollis, Sm. — The leaflets are not quite glandless. — A. Ley. 
The very small fruit contrasts greatly with {e.g.) the Tidenham, 
E. Gloster, plant; it seems to deserve a varietal name.-— E. S. 
Marshall. I see nothing here but a variation of R. mollis, Sm. — 
W. Barclay.
