The novelties marked * are P. maritima, var. ^'renirvata^ nov. 
var., Cornwall and Pembroke 3 ^'P. Serraria, L., Steep Holme (if 
a correct identification it is a new British species). The 5 Metithce 
are described in less space than that occupied with Planiago 
maritbna. 
Two Thymes, ovatus and Serpyllum, are given, the former with 
"^var. vestitus ■, in the latter the hairy form is made the type with var. 
glabraius^ Will. Of Mr. Linton’s T. Loevya?ms (‘Rep.’ 497, 1909), 
he says the evidence afforded is insufficient. Origanum vulgare, 
var. '*'j?iacrostachyum,\N'\\\,,s\VLn\^x to megastachyufn, sed omnino 
glabrum ” from Tongland, Kirkcudbright. Stachys officinalis, '^‘var. 
glahrata, Rouy {Ballota ruderalis is omitted). Anagallis arvensis, 
L.,*var. ternata. Will, (its older name is verticillaia, A. Diard.), but 
is this a lusus not a variety 1 * Anagallis latifolia, L., a somewhat 
doubtful determination, and Limonium humile, var. i-ariflorum, Will. 
Elm-Sep:dlings, Mr. A. Henry in ‘Journ. Linn. Soc.’ 200,

gives as the two British species, U. montana With., and U. glabra, 
Miller, thus distinguished : — 
*• U. montana. 
Branchlets stout, pubescent, remaining 
smooth in the second year. 
Leaves large, thick in texture, very . 
pubescent, especially on the upper 
surface, with short stalks. 
Seed in the centre of the Samara. 
The tree rarely suckers. 
U- glabra. 
Branchlets slender, nearly glabrous, 
becoming striated in the second 
year. 
Leaves small, very thin in texture, 
glabrous on the upper surface, 
with long stalks. 
Seed near the upper edge of the 
Samara. 
The tree suckers freely. 
Both these are wide-branching trees, and are known by same 
name — Wych Elm — in the east of England.”
