Runiex crispus, L., var. elongatus, Gussone. Tidal mud of 
tie Wye near Tintern, but in West Gloucester, September i, 1910. 
i 001 specimens, but sent as a New County Record. — Augustin 
-.EY. The divergence from type may be merely accidental, and due 
to the rich mud of tidal river-sides ; it would be a good thing 
to collect ripe seed, and test its permanence by growing it in 
ordinal y soil. Edward S. Marshall. See ‘ Report,’ p. 109, 1884. 
It is included in Babington’s ‘Manual,’ 359, 1904, from the Wye, 
but I am not sure who identified it with Gussone’s plant. — G. 
Claridge Druce. 
Asaruin europoMm^ L. Rough plantation opposite reservoir, 
Halton, Bucks (no flower or fruit), v.-c. 24, July 23, 1910. — 
Col. G. Claridge Druce. Comm. F. L. Foord-Kelcey. 
Mercurialis a 7 muus, L. Seedlings. Weed in the garden at 
Holmleigh, Kew, June 3, 1910. — A. B. Jackson. Seedling plants, 
such as these, are very useful plants to send to the Club. — C. E. 
Moss. 
Euphorbia Cyparissias, L. Brimpton Common, Berks., July 
1910. In great abundance here and somewhat variable ; looking 
native, but it is an aggressive species, spreading rapidly in suitable 
soil when once introduced. I can trace no source of introduction, 
as it is away from cultivation. — G. Claridge Druce. I do not 
see to what else this can be referred ; but the habit strikes 
me as being decidedly untypical. — Edward S. Marshall. 
Urtica dioica, L., var. [ref. No. 711]. Ditch, Little Kimble, 
Bucks., v.-c. 24, September 13, 1910. — F. L. Foord-Kelcey. 
Plentiful in hedges and ditches about Kimble, Bucks., on chalk 
soil. Not passing into type, but generally growing quite separately, 
almost free from sting. Where this was gathered, the hedge on 
one side of the road had all the nettles like this, on the other 
side the usual large-leaved kind. — F. L. Foord-Kelcey. Ap- 
proaches the var. angustifolia, Wimm. and Grab. — G. Claridge 
Druce. Small-leaved ; perhaps under var. microphylla, Hausmann, 
‘ FI. Tirol.,’ but I have not seen his description. — Edward S. 
Marshall. 
Ubnus . [ref. No. 4701.] Stansteadbury, Herts., August 
1910. A tree with somewhat coarser and rougher leaves than 
typical glabra. — G. Claridge Druce. The upper surfaces of 
the leaves of this, the small-leaved elm, are usually rougher 
than is the case with typical U. glabra, Mill. — C. E. Moss. 
? U. glabra. Miller.— A. B. Jackson.
