U, suraclosa^ Stokes, has been adopted in the ‘ Lond. Cat.’ Mr. 
Ley omits all reference to the name U campestris in his description 
of surcnlosa, ‘Jour. Bot.’ p. 72, 1910. — A. B. Jackson. 
Uhnus campestris^ L., var. glabra (Mill.) form. Launde, Leics., 
v.-c. 55, May 7, and Sept. 24, 1909. — Rev. H. P. Reader and A. 
R. Horvvood. Yes. — A. B. Jackson. Rightly referred to U. 
glabra, Mill, form : but differing from almost any form I have 
hitherto seen in having the leaves nearly (not quite) always equal 
and cordate at the base. In U. glabra, Mill., they are usually very 
unequal. The leaf surface in this form is nearly or quite smooth. 
The fruiting pieces would have been much more useful if gathered 
when the samara was ripe ; still the basal angle of the sinus when 
visible is that of U. glabra. Mill. — A. Ley. Certainly nearer U. 
glabra. Mill., than to any other species. — C. E. Moss. 
Uhnus glabra, Huds., var. Near Bulmer, Essex, N., v.-c. 19, 
Sept. 1908. Differing from the oxd\n2iry glabra by the habit and 
by the darker green of the leaves. — G. C. Druce. Certainly U. 
glabra. Miller {not Huds.) : a form resembling var. stricta, Lindley, 
in the perfectly smooth leaf-surface. One or two of the sheets 
have leaves slightly scabrous above ; these are probably from a 
sucker or from a cut surface of the bole. — A. Ley. Nearest to 
U. glabra. Mill. — C. E. Moss. Yes, a glabra form, but whether 
Miller’s plant or not it is impossible to say, as his description is too 
vague. There is no specimen in Miller’s Herb, at the British 
Museum. — A. B. Jackson. All the specimens were from branches ; 
not suckers. — G. C. Druce. 
Uhnus glabra. Miller. Planted trees on the Ledbury road 
near Ross, Herefordshire, May 7 and July 28, 1909. Never (in my 
experience) found native, or even spontaneous, in Herefordshire. — 
Augustin Ley. This is one of the hairy forms of U. glabra. Mill., 
called U. glabra {U. campestris, "mzi. pi.) : h. pubescens by Schneider 
in his ‘ Handbuch der Laubholzkunde.’ U. glabra. Mill., appears 
to be native in woods in the eastern Midlands and in the south- 
eastern counties of England.— C. E. Moss. Under U. glabra, 
Miller. — A. B. Jackson. 
Betula alba, L. {verrucosa, Ehrh.), form B. pendula, Roth, 
[ref. No. 3380]. Near Achilty, E. Ross, v.-c. 106, July 15, 1909. 
The “ weeping birch ” is abundant and often very fine in the 
district around Garve and Strathpefifer. The vertically drooping 
branches make it a striking and beautiful feature of the scenery. 
These specimens came from the outskirts of Torrachilty Wood, in 
the valley of the Conan River. — E. S. Marshall. Also sent by 
W. A. Shoolbred [ref. No. 689].
