I see no evidence of squalidns ; it certainly is not X S. B(xx- 
terii. — G. Claridge Druce. S. vulgaris, L., only, I believe. 
The anthodes, in size, shape, and ligules, show only this in- 
fluence. Leaves of this make are frequent in S. vulgaris. Of 
course, research on Mendelian lines warns us not to seek for “ good 
intermediates” in hybrids : but in this case I think we have good 
S. vulgaris, L. — H. J. Riddelsdell. My specimen shows no 
traces of S. squalidus ; it is just the ordinary groundsel. — Edward 
S. Marshall. 
Sexiecio sarracenicus, Linn. River banks, left bank of R. 
Dee, Eccleston, near Chester, v.-c. 58, September, 1910. — W,

Arctiuxn minus x nexttorosum} Lower Morden, Surrey, July 
27, 1910. I suggest that the Burdock I send is this hybrid. The 
small size of the heads favours Arctium minus, Bernh., and the way 
in which they are clustered together at the ends of the stems recalls 
A. nemoi'osum, Lej. — C. E. Britton. A weak immature specimen, 
apparently a side branch. Many years ago Mr. Beeby told me that 
the terminal inflorescence was indispen.sable. I sec nothing whatever 
to take it off A. minus, — Edward S. Marshall. If this is not a side 
shoot (which is often untypical) of minus, I think there is nothing 
against the hybrid Mr. Britton suggests, the small heads indicating 
the minus side and xiemorosum showing in the clustered inflorescence. 
Some plants that Mr. Beeby (with some doubt) named for me as 
this hybrid, show heads rather larger, but this feature might well vary 
in a hybrid. — C. E. Salmon. 
Cnicus arvensis, var. incanum, Ledeb. = C. vestiium, Koch. 
\_=Cersiujn anense, var. vestihim, Koch., E. S. M.], C. atgenteum, 
Payer. Unfortunately I discovered this plant rather too late in 
the year — September 23, 1910 — to be able to obtain many good 
specimens, and there seems to be but one small patch of it. At 
first I thought it was the variety setosus, Bess, but the description 
as given in F. N. Williams’ ‘ Prodromus Florae Britanniae,’ Part II., 
pp. 51 and 52, “ BMlia plana amplexicaulia baud undulata neque 
decurrentia,” for this variety ruled it out, and it seems to fall under 
incanum, Folia sessilia oblonga subs errata setoso—ciliata supra 
scabriuscula subtus niveo tomentosal^ I shall, if the jilant is of 
sufficient interest to the members, obtain a further supply next 
season for distribution. — W. Hodge. 
Crepis capillaris. Watts, var. diffusa (DC.), [ref. No. 308]. 
Malvern Link Common, September 9, 1910. — S. H. Bickham. 
Hicracium anglicum, Fr., Jaculifolium, F. J. Hanb., High 
Street, Mardale, Westm., June 29, 1910. — Augustin Lev.
