long ago. — C. E. Britton. This is not the plant I grow as E. 
Cyparissias, L. Is it not rather E. Esn/a, L., pscudo-Cyparissias^ 
lord. ?— S. H. Bickham. E. Esula, L., var. pscjido-Cyparissias, 
jord. — H. J. Riddelsdell, J. W. White, A. Ley. This agrees 
much better with my specimens of E. pseudo-Cypartsstas, Jord., 
than with true E. Cyparisstas, L. I think, however, that it is quite 
as near to E. Cyparissias as to E. Esu/a, L., which has a much 
coarser habit and strongly mucronate bracts. In all probability, E. 
pseudo-Cyparissias deserves the specific rank assigned to it by 
Jordan; its reduction to a variety of either Esula or Cyparissias 
appears to be somewhat arbitrary. — E. S. Marshall. 
Mercurialis annua, L. Hedge-bank, main road. Freeman’s 
Common, Leicester, v.-c. 55, Aug. 28, 1909. Plentiful. Probably 
a new County record, as there is no specimen or note in the County 
Herbarium. — W. Bell. 
Urtica dioica, L., var. ? Kerne Bridge, Herefordshire, 
v.-c. 36, August 7, 1909. I cannot match this variety in my 
herbarium. — Augustin I.,ey. Var. microphylla, Hausmann, FI. 
Tirol., I believe. — E. S. Marshall. A slender, graceful state of 
the Common Nettle. — J. W. White. Not my idea of microphylla, 
Hausm. — G. C. Druce. 
Uhnus scabra. Mill, (montana, Stokes), var. Upton 
Bishop, Herefordshire, v.-c. 36, probably planted, June 6, 1908. 
A variety with narrow elongate leaf, and rounded, often obovate 
samara. I know no varietal name ; and it is probably of garden 
origin. — Augustin Ley. Yes; under Cl. 7 /ionlana, Stokes. — A. B. 
Jackson. 
Ulmns scabra. Mill. {j?ionlana, Stokes). Sellack, Herefordshire, 
v.-c. 36, May 10 and August 14, 1909. For the nomenclature of 
this and other Elms sent, see ‘Journ. of Bot.’ 1910, p. 6 ^, et seq. 
This variety of the Wych Elm is notable for the samara being 
narrowed more than usual to the obtuse apex. I know no varietal 
name. — Augustin Ley. U. montana, Stokes. — A. B. Jackson. 
Ulmus surculosa, Stokes. Trees (planted) near Ross, Here- 
fordshire, May 21 and July 20, 1909. This is the “ English Elm ;” 
samaras this year larger as well as much more numerous than usual. 
— Augustin Ley. Yes ; but the leaves seem smoother above than 
is usually the case in the English Elm. — A. B. Jackson. Mr. 
Druce is calling this U. saliva. Mill., ‘Card. Diet.,’ ed. 8, 1768. — 
C. E. Moss. My reason for using Miller’s name sativa is be- 
cause his description “ foliis ovatis aciiniinatis duplicato-scrratis, 
basi inequalibus ” agrees with this tree, and because he calls CC
