of no value. — Edward S. Marshall. Dillenius cultivated the 
small round-headed plant {sphcerostachya) from Insula Selsey and 
Llanberis, but adds, “ in vulgarem transiit.” An uidividual plants 
however, kept true for one year in my garden. The second 
year it reverted to type. — G. Claridge Druce. 
Plantago Coronopiis^ Linn. ? var. ceraiophyllon, Rapin. New- 
quay, West Cornwall, v.-c. i, June 1907 and October ,1910. This 
form is almost as common here as the type and var. pygmaa, and 
keeps fairly constant in character. Leaves very thick, not pinnatifid. 
— C. C. Vigors. The larger of my two specimens looks right, or 
nearly so ; the smaller has densely hairy leaves, and cannot pass. — 
Edward S. Marshall. 
Plantago viacrorrhiza^ Poiret. Blackpool, W. Lancs., v.-c. 60, 
July 1910. This rare species, which is said to occur elsewhere 
in Britain only in Dorset, is very abundant in the Blackpool 
station, where it extends for nearly a mile. It varies a good 
deal according to age and situation, but always keeps distinct 
from P. Coronopus. In old plants the root divides at the crown, 
one root ultimately forming a colony of 15 to 20 plants. The leaves 
vary from nearly simple with a few teeth to bi- and even tripinnate, 
the latter being very rare and probably abnormal. The range of 
forms sent are cut from two or three large plants. — J. A. Wheldon. 
Not quite (I think) what we have been calling P. Coronopus^ var. 
ceratophyllo 7 i, Rapin. Whether, as Mr. F. N. Williams believes, this 
is P. macrorrhiza — and, if so, whether that is a good species — I 
have considerable doubt. — Edward S. Marshall. The var. 
ccratophyllon occurs also on Abbott Cliff, Dover, &c. — G. 
Claridge Druce. 
lllecebnan verticillatum, I.. Near Wellington College, Berks, ' 
Augu.st 1910. Still plentiful in this outlying station. — G. Claridge 
Druce. See p. 507. 
Herniaria ciliata, Bab. Headlands, Coverack, W. Cornwall, 
July 1910. — H. E. Fox. Of course, correct; but Rouy ‘El de 
France,’ xii. 8, 1910, names this H. inaritima, Link, apud Schrad. 
‘ Journ.,’ i. p. 57, ( 3 . ciliata, Daveau, in ‘ Bot. Soc. Brot.,’ 10, p. 91 = 
//. dliata, Bab., non Clairv. It is the northern form, the type (AT. 
mariiima) being at present known only from Spain, Portugal, and 
south-west France. — Edward S. Marshall. 
CJienopodium glaucum, L. Waste ground by River Lea, near 
Rye House, Herts., August 18, 1910.— Alice Trower. 
Salicornia amnia, Sm. Crouch Marshes, f:ssex, September 
1910. Growing in great abundance and almost to the exclusion of
