EX HERBARIO
M.F.Gardner & S.G.Knees
Stellaria neglecta Weihe, var. Hlisabeth@® F. Schultz.
Hedgebank, Stockwood Vale, near Keynshani, North Somer-
set, May 26 and June 8, 1930. Calyx and pedicels quite
glabrous.—Jas. W. White. Correct, but F. Schultz described
it as a species, so his name should be in brackets.—J. Fraser.
The leaves are shortly acuminate, the stamens more than 5,
the seed prominently and + acutely tubercled. This is the
var. wmbrosa Opiz of Hooker, for which C. E. Salmon preferred
the name var. ae (“‘ Fruits and Seeds.”’ S. E. Union
of Scientific Societies, 1928, p. 42).—J. E. Little. As F.
Schultz described this plant as a species (Archives Flora,
p. 302-3, 1861) the authority should be enclosed in brackets.
Schultz’ name, which is supported by a good description, has
been wisely adopted in lieu of the doubtful S. wmbrosa Opiz.
The varietal name decipiens E. S. Marshall, which was
proposed (under S. wmbrosa) for typical S. neglecta (Journ.
Bot. xl. 214, 1902) has been erroneously left standing in the
London Catalogue and the Plant list—H. W. Pugsley.
