and not to the large-leaved lime ( 7 ! platyphylla), nor to the 
common lime {T. europaea). It is not, I think, usually stated in 
the floras that the leaves of T. cordata, which are borne on suckers, 
&c., are relatively large (sometimes very large) and have relatively 
short petioles. T. platyphylla may always be distinguished by its 
hairy twigs, and T. cordata by its normal leaves having very long 
petioles. The cymes of T. cordata are not pendant like those of 
the two other limes ; and they flower later than those of T. euro- 
paea and T, platyphylla. Last year, for example, near Cambridge, 
the flowers of T. cordata opened on July i6th, those of T. europaea 
on June 28th, on which latter date those of T. platyphylla were 
already fully out ; and the flowers of T. europaea and of T. platy- 
phylla were over when those of 2\ cordata appeared. It would be 
interesting to ascertain whether or not this is invariably the case, 
as some continental floras give T. mropaea as a hybrid of T. cor- 
data and T. platyphylla. T. cordata is also later in coming into 
leaf than its two allies. — C. E. Moss. Certainly not T. platyphyllos.

Gera7iiutn luodcstufn, Jord. Shingle beach, Coverack, W. Corn- 
wall, July, 1910. — H. E. Fox. Quiteright. We have two distinguish- 
able coast-shingle plants, one being more hairy and having dark- 
purplish anthers, which I understand to be Jordan’s segregate ; 
the other is a good step further from type — G. Robertianum, having 
orange or tawny anthers and a more rigid, glabrous, shining habit 
(was this G. Rail, Lindley ?). Following Lloyd, ‘ FI. de I’Ouest,’ 
I have always believed the latter to be G. purpweum., Vill. ; but 
Mr. Clement Reid is, I think, of a different opinion. — Edward S. 
Marshall. Mr. Fox’s plant agrees in habit and in fruit characters 
with a specimen in the Herbarium at Cambridge named (in Jordan’s 
handwriting) “ G. inodes tw?i, Jord.” It is not possible now to de- 
termine the colour of the anthers. — C. E. Moss. Mr. Clement Reid 
has kindly drawn up a description of the plant he has identified 
as G. modestum., Jord., which he has not seen, more than a mile from 
the sea, over many acres at Crantock, near Newquay ; near Pad- 
stow it occupies several square miles, and at Gorran Haven in South 
Cornwall it is found in profusion : — “ Stems nearly smooth below, 
glandular above, lower leaves smooth below. Corolla | in. (half the 
size of Robertianuni)., petals rose-coloured, oval, narrow not over- 
lapping, anthers bright green (not red), fruit glabrous or downy, 
carpels blunt above (not acute and merging into the beak), covered 
with raised lines and dots.” The last characters in addition to 
other points would seem to support its specific distinction from 
Robertianuni . — G. Claridge Druce.
