having been noticed in a sheet of Viola palustris from Hamilton 
Tor, S. Devon, collected by Mr. W. F. Miller of Winscombe. In 
June, 1911, the writer was fortunate enough to find the plant in 
some plenty in several places near Moreton Hampstead and Widdy- 
combe. Although essentially lowland, and a nature of alder 
swamps and shady places, it also occurred in some bare elevated 
places on Hamilton Tor. The appearance of the plant at once 
reminded the writer of a plant he had seen at Burghfield, Berks, 
about 1890, and on his return he visited that locality where he 
found V. epipsila in some quantity and in a similar situation. 
But similar localities in Bucks only yielded V. palustris.'] At 
Killarney, near the upper lake, the writer again met with this form, 
thus adding a new plant to f I reland, Kerry 2. The hairy petioles 
and the hairy nerves on the under leaf surface, together with a 
slightly more pointed end to the leaf are distinguishing features, 
but the plant is very closely allied to V. palustris, from which, 
however, Becker in his recent monograph keeps it distinct. In 
Europe it appears chiefly as a northern plant, so that its occurrence 
in Devon and Kerry was somewhat unexpected, especially as the 
apparently suitable home among sphagnum and alder, at Dunkeld 
only afforded V. palustris. Mrs. Gregory assents to the name. 
333 bis. * Saponaria orientalis L. An Eastern alien. Occurred 
by fGalway Bay 16 with other casuals. 
334 b. Silene amoena L. (=S. niaritima) var parvifolia 
(Druce). This small-leaved Sea Campion which the writer found 
on the shingle of Looe Bar, Cornwall, was also found this year (F. 
Hamilton Davey). Its correct name, however, is 5. marithna With, 
var. parvifolia Druce, as given in the List of British Plants, since S. 
amoena L. Sp. PI. 1753, from Siberia, is almost certainly a distinct 
species. Another form of 5. marithna, which is worth further 
study, occurred close to Ross Castle, Killarney. The type occurred 
in plenty on the shingle beach at Blakeney, Norfolk, W. 28. 
368. Cerastium alpinum X vulgatum = x C. Symei Druce in 
Bot. Exch. Club Report 498, 1910. Ben Lawers 88 with both 
parents, agreed to by Dr. Ostenfeld.

374. C. tetrandrum Curtis. Blakeney, Norfolk, W. 28. Round- 
stone, Galway 16. 
382. Stellaria Dilleniana Moench. Near Sutton Broad in 
two stations. Growing with S. Dilleniana var. palustris (Retz.) (=S. 
glauca), and flowering at the same time ; thus supporting 
the writer’s contention {Bot. Exch. Club Report, 546, 1910), that 
the two plants are not specifically distinct. Professors Graebner 
and Lindman both know the plant well, and are of the same 
opinion. In some parts of Sweden, this green plant is much 
commoner than the glaucous variety. 
383. Stellaria graminea L. var. latifolia (Godron) Rouy and 
Fouc. iii., 234, 1896. Under this would come robust, large-leaved 
plants which grow near Dunkeld, E. Perth 88, and near 
Perranwell, Cornwall 1. 
399. Sagina nodosa Fenzl. var. glandulosa (Besser Prim. FI. 
Galilc, ii, 359, 1809) = S. nodosa var. pubescens, Mert. & Koch, 
Deutsch FI. iii, 362, 1831. jGalway 16, sometimes as a very 
luxuriant tufted plant.
