| ocrnotes: | Stellaria umbrosa, Opiz. Two forms; one glabrous, and the other with calyces and pedicels hairy. Tortworth, West Gloucestershire. This may be a new record for Vice-Co. 34. I have collected a series of specimens to illustrate a point which has already been mentioned here and there, namely, that this plant is commonly glabrous, but that there is also a frequent form of it having the pedicels and calyces hairy. The species is not rare either in West Gloucester or North Somerset, and one can readily find both its varieties or states intermingled on the same hedgebank. I have carefully examined and compared these plants, not forgetting the ripe seeds, and am satisfied that beyond the character named there is no structural difference whatever between them.--J as. Walter White. |
