REPORT FOR 1910.

flower should be bracteate, which is not the case in the specimens 
sent to me ; nor do the dried flowers look paler than usual. Only 
a starved type, I believe. — Edward S. Marshall. 
Myosotis co/lina, Hoffm. [ref. No. 4118]. On the borders of 
Stow Wood, Oxfordshire, on light, sandy soil, in shelter but not 
shade, May 1910. It will be observed that the bract in some of 
the lower flowers is widely separate from the flower, but the 
presence of the bract is by no means constant ; although some 
plants might be referred to Mittenii, the colour of the flowers was 
somewhat paler than those of M. collina, growing on more calcareous 
soil. — G. Claridge Druce. This looks drawn-out, which may be 
due to its unusual woodland station ; I see nothing else peculiar in 
the dry state— the flowers look normal. — Edward S. Marshall. 
The specimens sent to me are 14-20 cent, high, and thus taller 
than usual, but I do not see any other difference. It can, evidently, 
grow taller still, as Rouy and Foucaud (‘FI. France’) give “5-30 
cent.” for this species. I imagine that Mr. Druce’s plants were 
drawn up ” in the wood. — C. E. Salmon. 
Lithospermiim officinale, L., var. pseudo-latifolium, C. E. Salmon. 
Raised from seed of the Isle of Wight plant, given me by Mr. 
Salmon. After three or four seasons’ growth it has become veiy 
characteristic, and agrees well with his description in ‘ Journ. Bot.’ 
1906, p. 367. — Edward S. Marshall. 
Verbascum olympicuin, Boiss. Waste ground. The Park, Oxford, 
September 1910.— G. Claridge Druce. 
Linaria repens, Mill. New record, Scalford, Leics., September 
23, 1910. — H. P. Reader and A. R. Horwood. 
Linaria minor, Desf., forma, [ref. No. 81]. Old railway line, 
near Dalmeny, v.-c. 84, June 2, 1910. Differing from the type in 
the colour of the flowers ; the lower lip of the corolla being a clear 
white, and the calyx being longer in relation to the fruit. — 
McTaggart Cowan, Jun. 
Veronica hybrida, L. Very fine among ‘ detritus,’ north face 
of Craig Breidden, Montgomeryshire, North Wales, July 31, 1910. 
— J. Cosmo Melvill. 
Veronica officinalis, L., var. [ref. No. 2731]. Elibank, Selkirk, 
July 1910. According to Mr. Williams (‘ Prod.’ v. 297) this is var. 
hirsuta (Hopkirk) = V. seligera, D. Don., but I doubt if he is 
correct in so enlarging the original description as to take in this 
jilant, which I should have rather ventured to describe as forma 
integra — “ fructus indivisus, apice integer ” — since this character
