REPORT FOR 19IO. 
595 
Ulmus [ref. No. 4824]. Wadenhoe, Northants., Sep- 
tember 1910. ibis I suspect to be Lindley’s U. parvifolia^ but 
am doubtful if it is Miller’s U. minor, since Miller dwells upon the 
elect branches which I think refer to U.stricta, Lindley. In this tree 
the branches are by no means erect. I am sorry the specimens 
aie so poor. G. Claridge Druce. I agree that none of Mr. 
Druce’s plants is U. minor, Mill.— C. E. Moss. 
Ref. Nos. 4267, 4824, 4707, 4703 (G. C. D.). All these are 
the plants called 17. glabra, Mill., var. minor. Mill., by Mr. Ley 
(see my remarks above), unless it be No. 4267, which is perhaps 
a hybrid of this and the type.— C. E. Moss. 
Qncrcns Robur ( pedunculata') x sessilijiora. White Wood, 
Gamlingay, Cambs., May 20 'and October 27, 1909. From same 
tree. (See ‘Jour. Bot.’ 1910.) A few members asked for this. 
One or two also asked for Q. intermedia, D. Don. I can only refer 
them to ‘ JoLirn. of Bot.’ 1910, pp. 5, 6. I regret that Mr. Horwood 
(‘Journ. of Bot.’ 1911, p. 55) still uses Don’s name. The remark 
there made by Mr. Horwood that I call “ this ” Q_. Robur x sessi/i- 
flora must be interpreted as referring to the plant Mr. Horwood 
has in mind, and not to Don’s name. — C. E, Moss. 
Salix decipiens, Hoffm. [ref. No. 3467]. Island in the River 
Orchy, below Dalmally, v.-c. 98 Argyle, July 6, 1910. A bush, 
about five or six feet high ; sex unknown, but probably male. Rev. 
E. F. Linton tells me that it is new for the vice-county. — Edward 
S. Marshall. Male no doubt ; undoubted female A. decipiens is 
still a desideratum for Britain. — E. F. Linton. 
Salix alba x pentandra. In marshy ground at the head of 
Haweswater, Mardale, Westmoreland, along with abundant S. 
pentandra, L. — Augustin Ley. This discovery of the Rev. A. 
Ley’s is very interesting. But for a tree by the highroad between 
Shap and Keld in the adjoining county, of . which there are speci- 
mens in Mr. C. E. Salmon’s herbarium gathered by Mr. J. G. Baker 
in 1883, and* which is almost certainly this hybrid, S. hexandra, 
Ehrh., it is new to the whole north of England. — E. F. Linton. 
Salix acuminata, Sm. ? [ref. No. 49203]. Peakirk, Northants., 
July 1910. I suppose this is S. cinerea x vtminalis, but may it not 
be S. stipularis, Sm. ?— G. Claridge Druce. Three different 
names are here proposed by Mr. Druce for this willow foliage. It 
may very probably be A. ciuerea x viminalis from a broad-leaved 
A. cbierea, aquatica (Sm.) parent ; in which case it is not A. acumuiata, 
Sm. Still less is it A. stipularis, Sm., which has much narrower 
leaves and quite different stipules. — E. F. Linton. The leaves
