3 . 3 ) Ji'IY) 1909. In each case growing with the parents, and 
making a good intermediate. — H. J, Riddelsdell. 
Galium Vaillantii^ DC. Waste ground, Oxford, v.-c. 23, with 
Erigeron canadense^ Vida villosa and other casuals and aliens, 
Sept. 1909. Seen also near Rye House, S. Essex, in 1907. — G. C. 
Druce. Correct. Besides the different habit, and the smaller, 
greenish flowers, this species is readily distinguishable from G. 
Aparme by its much smaller fruit, without tubercles at the base 
of the hooked prickles. — E. S. Marshall. 
Valeriana pyrenaica^ L. By the Rea Brook, near Shrewsbury, 
Salop, v.-c. 40. Getting naturalized there, June, 1909. — J. Cosmo 
Melvill.

v.-c. E7, Aug. 14, 1909. — C. E. Sat.mon. Correct. — G. C, Druce. 
B ideas cernua^ L. Margam Moors, Glam., v.-c. 41, Sept. 19, 
1909. A rare plant in Glamorganshire, the first time I have gathered 
it there. Close by also grows in very small quantity Catabrosa 
aquatica, a N. C. R. — H. J. Riddelsdell. 
Senecio Cineraria x Jacobica. Garden origin ; Brampton 
Abbots, Herefordshire, v.-c. 36, August ii and September ii, 
1909. In 1908 I observed seedlings coming up in a garden where 
A. Cine 7 'aria, DC., had been cultivated for some years, looking 
different from the parent. These developed in 1909 into large 
bushy plants, of very vigorous growth, in habit, leaves and flowers 
just midway between A. Cineraria and S. Jacobcea. — Augustin 
Ley. These species readily hybridise. The offspring is x A. 
albescens, Burb. and Colgan. It was first noticed in Britain by 
Borrer in 1836 at Bishop’s Castle, Salop. He ‘thought it might be 
a hybrid betw'een some wild Senecio and Cineraria maritima' 
See Herb. Babington at Cambridge.— G. C. Druce. I have seen 
it near Torquay, where S. Cineraria grows freely. — S. H. Bickham. 
Cnicus tuberosns, Roth. Origin, Avebury, Wilts., cult. Llan- 
daff, 1909. These are sent to complete the series sent last year. — 
H. J. Riddelsdell. 
Crepis fadida, L. Waste ground near the railway, Newhaven, 
E. Sussex, v.-c. 14, July, 1909, in countless numbers, shown me 
by Mr. T. Hilton. The conspicuous white pappus is a good mark 
of distinction, but in the flesh it could scarcely be mistaken foi 
any other British species. — G. C. Druce.
