REPORT FOR I91O.

covered by the Rev. E. H. Gilchrist de Castro. June 1910. — 
J. Cosmo Melvill. Agrees with type specimens in Br. Mus. 
Herb, and at Kew. — A. B. Jackson and W. B. Turrill. 
Geranium Endressi x striatum. A spontaneous hybrid be- 
tween these parents when grown together in a garden at Sellack 
Vicarage in 1906. Cultivated, it proved a more vigorous plant than 
either parent, producing abundant blossoms and fertile seed. — 
Augustin Ley. These two species are evidently prone to cross ; 
for the same hybrid has occurred in my own garden, and in that 
of my cousin. Rev. C. F. Benthall, at Cofton Vicarage, S. Devon ; he 
sent it up thence to Kew. In the West Monkton instance, G. 
Endressi is certainly the female parent, G. versicolor {striatirm) 
being at some distance ; the flowers are less distinctly veined than 
in Mr. Ley’s plant, but the foliage is much the same. — Edward S. 
Marshall. 
Oxalis Aceiosel/a, Linn , var. stibpurpurascens, DC. [ref. No. 33J. 
Arniston Woods, Gorebridge, v.-c. 83, May 14, 1910. — McT.yggart 
Cowan, Jun. Looks quite right, but is it more than a “state”? 
The vars. ccerulea, DC., lilacina, Reichb., and subpurpjirascens, DC., 
seem very close but are kept apart by Rouy (‘ FI. France ’). The 
two latter seem, by description, to be practically identical. — C. E. 
Salmon. 
Ononis I'eclinata, L. Corbelets, Alderney, June 1909. — I. M. 
Hayward. 
Medicago falcata, L. Waste heap, Bradford, Yorkshire, v.-c. 
64, July 30, 1910. Several nice plants which bloomed freely. — 
John Cryer. Correct. — C. E. Moss. Yes. I use a capital letter 
for the specific name, for Rivinus designated it Falcata. — G. 
Claridge Druce. 
Medicago {^falcata, L.]. Sewage Farm, Prescot, v.-c. 59, 
August 1910. — Leg. Rev. M. Tookey, S.J. Comm. W. G. Travis. 
Not M. Falcata. — C. E. Moss. This is not M. Falcata, L., but 
I believe a monstrosity of M. lupulina, L., the var. ungiciculata, 
Seringe, described by De Candolle (‘Prod.’ ii. 172, 1825) as 
“ floribus apetalis leguminibus falcatis vix nervosis stipitatis un- 
guicLilatus M. imiiocarpa, Wallr., in litt.” It is an analogous 
form to Seringe’s varieties of Melilots, and appears to be induced 
by growing in rank uncongenial soil. — G. Claridge Druce. I do 
not know this alien ; but it is certainly nowhere near M. falcata. 
— Edward S. Marshall. 
Medicago lupulma, var. Willdenowii, Merat. Railway embank- 
ment, Saxon’s Lane, Northwich, v.-c. 58, September 1910.— W.
