' Mr. Rogers points out that Bloxam sometimes gave the name calvatus to plants which really belonged to Selmeri (which, however, he oftcner named affinis). (R. gratus, Focke, which grows in Warwick, Derby, Notts, and Lincoln, should be found in Leicestershire, although not recorded for North- amptonshire).

R. - anglosaxonicus, Gelert. 2A : 'So far as I know typical R. anglosaxonicus has not yet been found in Leicester. I thought Mr. Linton's forest border plant might go under it as a form ; while the several plants referred to by Mr. Jackson (Ulverscroft, Swithland Wood, &c.) are nearer to vars. setulosus and raduloides than to type anglosaxonicus.'

R. 1902. 8 Mr. Rogers says : ' The earlier Leicestershire records of R. villicaulis, W. and N. are most probably all R. pyramidalis, Kalt, which seems invariably to have been named R. villicaulis in England then.' He also says : 'I have no recollection of the occurrence of the f. R. eifeliensis, Wirtg. in Leicestershire, but, of course, Jackson may be right about it.'
