at Reigate, and cannot find any differences in them as regards 
bracts, calyx, &c. The difference in time of flowering — which I shall 
observe more closely this year — is remarkable ; may it be that the 
original roots came from different localities as regards moisture, 
causing this variation which is still kept up by the descendants ? — 
C. E. Salmon. 
Armeria maritljna, Willd. Ben an Dothaidh, Argyllshire, (98), 
at 2,600 feet, July, 1910. — A. Wilson and J. A. Wheldon. 
I'here does not appear to be any distinct cleavage in the range 
of A. maritima and A. alpina in Britain. These specimens show 
no approach to the latter although from a sufficiently Alpine station. 
— J. A. Wheldon. This is the pleurotrichous Statice Imearifolia, 
Later, var. planifolia (Syme), which I believe Mr. F. N. Williams 
has confused with the continental Statice alpina. I have not yet 
seen the holotrichous Statice maritima, Miller, on the mountains. — 
G. Claridge Druce. 
Anagallis arvensis, L. Native among furxe, &c,. Worms Head, 
v.-c. 41, June 24, 1910. This plant, the status of which is much 
disputed, occurs about the cliffs of W. Gower plentifully ; it is not 
by any means confined to places where it is comparatively free 
from competition. On the Worms Head, it is a mile and more 
from the nearest cultivation ; sheep are occasionally pastured there ; 
but there is the minimum probability of introduction. I do not 
see any reason to doubt its native status. — H. J. Riddelsdell. 
Gcntiana praecox, Towns. Chalk downs. Freshwater, I. of 
^V■ight, June, 1910. — H. E. Fox. This plant is referred to G. 
cajjipestris by Mr. Williams, and named by him G. campestris, L. 
(■i. obtusifolia (‘Prodr. Flo. Brit.,’ Part V. p. 235, 1909). I do not 
agree with Mr. Williams that the plant is related to G. campestris. 
1 think the traditional view is correct that it belongs to G. Amarct/a. 
All the forms of G. campestris have overlappmg calycine segments, 
not merely “the opposite segments of the calyx very unequal;” 
and G. Amarella varies greatly with regard to the number of its 
calycine segments. — C. E. Moss. G. Amarella, var. praecox, Raf. 
I cannot agree with Mr. F. N. Williams in referring this to G. cam- 
pestris, with which to me it has nothing in common. — G. Claridge 
Druce. So far as I know, Mr. Townsend did not describe this as 
a species. It is G. subsp. lingulata, C. A. Agard, var. praecox. 
Towns. (Murbeck). Growing abundantly on the Wiltshire downs 
with G. Amarella, it keeps completely distinct from that.— Edward 
S. Marshall. 
Polemonium ccerulenm, L. Old gravel -pit near Ollerton, 
Peover, Cheshire, July 1910. — J. Cosmo Melvill.
