NOTE ON REPORT, 1905. 
Fu maria majoi\ Badaro. With reference to the Fumitory from 
Gilly Tresamble (Cornwall) mentioned on p. 13 of the Report 
for 1905, Mr. F. H. Davey has shown me a communication he 
has just received from Prof. Hanz Schinz of Zurich, saying the 
plant is F. major, Bad., and that his opinion has been confirmed 
by Professors Ascherson and Grabner, as well as by Dr. Fedde 
of Berlin, who is working out the genus Fumaria for Engler’s 
“ Pflanzenreich.” Mr. Davey tells me the plant has occurred in 
abundance every year since its discovery in 1904, over about two 
miles of country. C. C. Vigurs. 
This is'kept as a distinct species in the ‘Index Kewensis’ and 
by Nyman, who in his ‘ Conspectus ’ gives the European distribution 
as Gall. mer. Ital. Istria, Dalmatia, Graecia, Rhodos and Greta. 
Therefore its occurrence in Britain is of special interest, since It 
is not recorded for Western France. 
NOTE ON REPORT, 1909. 
Verbascum ex Rev. H. J. Riddelsdell, p. 466. Mr. A. Bruce 
[ackson says, ‘This plant is not I think V. nigrum at all but 
V. C/iaixii, Vill distinguished by its laxer branched in- 
florescence, the radical leaves tapering at the base.’' 
Carex muricata, immature specimens from Saffron Lane, 
Knighton, Leicester, W. Bell. Suggested by a critic on p. 478 to 
be “true C. mnricata, L. Herb, and Spec. Plant = C. Fairm, F. 
Schultz.” Doubting this I sent a specimen to Kiikenthal, who says 
it is, as I thought, “ C. contigiia, Hoppe ”= C. muncata, L., Sp. PI.
