it remains constant. I gathered the same variety in flower on 
March 27, 1911, in Mr. Linton’s parish (Edmonsham, Dorset). — 
C. E. Moss. Not picre V. sy Ives iris, by flowers and foliage. — 
Edward S. Marshall. 
Viola arvensis, Murr., var. Branstone, Leics., September 23, 
1910. — A. R. Horwood. 
Viola arvensis, var. . Swithland, Leics., September 2, 1910. 
— A. R. Horwood. Is V. segetalis, Jord. — H. J. Riddelsdell. 
Viola obtusifolia^ Jord. ? Peaty ground near Cockerham, W. 
Lancs. (60), July 1910. — J. A. Wheldon. 
Viola saxatilis, Schmidt. Roadside bank, S. of Loch Raeinoch, 
Perthshire (88), July 1910. — A. Wilson and J. A. Wheldon. This 
plant has the underground perennating shoots of the saxafiles, 
although, owing to the nature of the ground, it was impossible 
to collect many examples exhibiting this feature. — J. A. Wheldon. 
Viola saxatilis, Schmidt, var. lepida (Jordan). Weed in flax 
field, flowering after the flax was pulled. It grew in the same field 
the year before among oats, and was so named by Dr. Drabble. — 
C. H. Waddell. 
Viola Curtisii, Forst. Sandhills, Fairhaven, West Lancs. (60), 
May 1910. — J. A. Wheldon. 
Viola . Peat soil near Nately, W. Lancs. (60), July 1910. 
— J. A. Wheldon. 
Polygala vulgaris, L., forma rosea [ref. No. 4121]. Bradenham, 
Bucks., May 1910. Rather plentiful, and a very pretty form. — 
G. Claridge Druce. I have seen this magenta-coloured form in 
many stations in the south of England, both on chalk and lime- 
stone ; but the colour of P. vulgaris is so variable that it seems 
hardly worth distinguishing. — Edward S. Marshall. 
Polygala oxyptera, Reichb. [ref. No. 2730]. Lawers, Mid 
Perth, July 1910. This occurred in considerable quantity in 
a pasture about 400 feet alt., and was readily distinguishable from 
P. vulgaris, from which it has quite a distinct habit, which also 
occurred there. I am inclined to think it prefers limestone, as 
I found it also in Skye (n.c.r.), where limestone was present, 
and at Traquair, Peebles (n.c.r.). — G. Claridge Druce. The 
sepals are too broad and blunt for this species, and the flowers 
too large ; the foliage is that of P. vulgaris, to which I have no 
hesitation in referring my two specimens. — Edward S. Marshall.
