| notes: | Twin woods,Beds., August 1903/ In the greatest luxuriance and beauty, but the brilliant colours quickly spoil in drying. I tried dipping these in Sulphurous Acid and Alcohol, but with slight success. Although long known to grow in the county I do not think it has been previously distributed from Beds throuhj the Club.--G. CLARIDGE DRUCE. |
