vVe have pleasure in presenting the second number of the Year Book
coupled with an apology for its late a.ppearance.
Members will note that we have been able to fill most of the gaps left
in the previous issue and the only time, lag remains with the Reports
of the Field Meetings. This seems to be unavoidable as considerable
ti.me is often required for the study of critical species before lists can
he- prepared.
We would welcome comments and suggestions and wouJd especially
like to know if " Pl'oce-edings of Mee,tings" is of sufficient interest to
mf';mhe-rs to \varrant the amount of print expended on it.
.
Thal!ks are accorded to our printers, MessrB T. Bunele. & Co. IJtd.,
for their r,ontinued kind co~operation.

OFFICERS' REPORTS FOR 1948
HONORARY GENERAL SECREWARY'S REPORT FOR 1948.
The Society has passed through another year of increased activity,
and most of the innovations set in motion or envisaged in 1947 are now
in full working order.
Undnubtedly the outstanding feature was the success of the Conference, which had been i.ntroduced with some trepidation; that it succeeded and proved popular with members has encouraged its organisers
to promote a further one in 1950. It is hoped that the full account of
the Conference will be in tho hands of an members by the time this
RcpOl't is issued. (It is in proof at the time of writing this).
The criticism made at the Annual General Meeting, which took place
during the Conference, that to·o little time was set aside for it, has been
remembered, and members may rest assured that they '\vill have ample
opportlmit'y for disc11Ssion at the next one. Members will appreciate
that it is a little difficult tn guage the amount of time required, as the
duration' of A.G. Meetings of the Society have ranged from half an hour
to over two hourB.
The Report for 1946/47 appeared in the autumn, considerably later
than had been hoped. It has been a disappointment that the first ilUmbel' of " Watsonia " was delayed beyond the end of the year. There is
still groat difficulty in the Printing Trade to be faced.
The Society's next innovation is to' be the introduction of a Year
Book, the first number of which is now in active preparation. The Publications Oommittee together with the Council have arranged for the
Hon. Gen. Secretary and the Hon. Assistant Secretary to be responsible
for it.
Mr Wilmott kindly represented the Society at the Scientific Information Society Conference- held in the Rooms of the Royal Society.
The Society has taken an active part in following up threats to'the
countryside. They were represented at the Purbeck Enquiry by Mr N.
Douglas Simpson and by Mr G. 'V. Temperley at the Ross Links one. A
possible danger by th8' War Office to Oirsiwm iuberostlcm in Wntshire
was followed up through Mr Grose's good offices and the Ministry of
Town and Country Planning, with satisfactory results. The. New Forest
Bill has likewise not escaped attention (Mr Lousloy having read through
the Bill), and no doubt many of our members saw the letter in the
" Times" nf December 18th, signed by our President and Professor
Olapham.
A t the Council Meoting held on October 29th, a Special Committee,
consisting of the Officers and M1' Wilmott, was appointed to deal with
an matters connected with threats to' the British Flora.
A successful Tea Party was held on October 29th, very ably arranged
by Messrs CoUenette, Milne~Redhead an,d Price. A separate account
will appear in the Year Book.
22
OFFIOERS' 'REPORTS FOR
Hl48
The Council met three times during the year ~nd there was much
a.ctivity among the Committees, especia11y the publicatinlls Oommittee.
A Meeting for members in and around London tu llleet the President
and Officers was held at my Flat on February Srd, 27 members attending.
DetaHs relating to the Membership Register are given by the Hon.
Assistant Secretary at the end of my Report. I would, however, just
like to mention the loss that the Society has sustained in the death of
Mil'ls E. VachelI, one of its" oldest" and most active members. During the many years she had served on the Council and Committees she
had been a most regular attendant, and had rarely missed a Council
meeting. Mr A. E. vVade kindly represented the Society at her funeral.
Members may like to know a little of the administrative side nf the
Society. Although the address, through the kindness of Dr Ramsbott.om,
is c/o Dept. of Botany, Briti.sh Museum (Nat. Hist.), most of my
Secretarial work is done in my Flat, where I have' furnished a privaw
office to house temporarily the Society's effects other than stock of
publications.
M,ost of the Oommittee meetings and onc of the Council have been
held in my Flat. I either collect letters from the Museum, where I deal
with the identifications, or they are forwarded by Mr 'Wilmott or Mr
Bangerter, to both of whom I a,m very grateful. From time to time I
have the servioos of an experienced shorthand typist, for whom the
Society pays. I have also a special desk for the Society's businGss in
my cottage in Perthshire.
All new members receive a pcrsonal letter from me, and I deal with
all, enquiries and general,correspondence.
Through the kindness of Professor Osbol'n, we have a room in Dr
Druce's old house (Yardley Lodge, Oxford), where· our publications stock
is stored. All orders come to me and are triplicated (one for customer,
one for Hon. Treasurer and one for Secretary), and passed once a week
to Mr J. H. Burnett, who acts as ,onr representative, and whose t'wo
assistants wrap up the parcels. ('They each receive a small honorarium
for their services.)
Mr Pri.ce keeps all the membership records, makes notes for the
Minutes of General and Council Meetings, does nearly. all the duplicat
ing, and sends out all notices to. members of Council.
In the past it was customary for the Hon. Secretary to give an acGount of his Field activities. I do not propose to go into details, but 1
think it may be of interest to report that I spent ten days in the Isle of
Harris with a small and industrious party, mostly members of the
Society, and a week in Ardnamurchan.
In September I was in the
Valais in Switzerland for eleven days as assistant to the Director of the
Institute of "Sociology, our member Mr A. Farquharson. I hope some
time to write a short account of my botanical work there, as it is of some
interest as being the" off season" for bo,tanists.
With the increase in the Society's activity, and the absence of earned
income., the time is rapidly approaching when I can no longer carry on
the dual role of Hon. General Secretary and Field Secretary (the latter
M

office involves nearly 500 outgoing letters and cards), which together
more 'or less amount to a whole-time job, and it is with very great regret
that I shall be giving up the Field Secretaryship as from the Annual
General Meeting. That job, both before and since it was raised to an
office, has been of the deepest interest to me, and has enabled me to get
to know at least a third of our membership. I would like to thank you
all fo-r your co-operation and for the personal touches which have infused the work with so- much pleasure to me.

OFFICERS' REPORTS FOR
1948
The financial posit,ion of the Society at the end of 1948 is satisfactory.
The assets, which exceed those shown on any previous ba~a,nce sheets,
should prove adequate for our immediate commitments, and it is gratifying that the Officers responsible for carrying out our activities can
proceed in confidence. Nev81'theless the position must not lead to complacency.
As based on our current membership figures, our income from subscri.ptions may be expected to' be about £460 per annum. Actually £438
has been received during the year, and £38 68 is still owing from members. The last figure is somewhat surprising, in view of the efforts made
by the Hon. Assistant TreaSlll'81' to' collect overdue subscriptions, and
both Mr Swann and myself have noticed a tendency for the number of
members fa,iliug to make prompt payment to increase. There has also
been a drop nf about_ 25 % in the number of new members, as compared
with the· high level of 1946 and 1947.. As a larger membershi.p is essential, if we are to carry out fully ,our plans for providing greater facilities,
it is, hoped that 1949 will show an improvement.
TwO' new Funds have been i.ntroduced into the accounts this year.
The purpose of the Journal Fund is to, finance our new periodical
Watsonia, of which the first part should appeal' very shortly. The Field
Work Commit-tee's ]-l'und arises out of an undertaking I gave at the
Annual General Meeting on April 10, when I stated that in future
amounts paid as fees for excursions and indoor, activities would be ear~
marked for the purposes of the Field WOork C'ommittee.
The profit
shown on the year's working is larger than was anticipated, and now
that the Committee have a balance, available, they will feel less restraint
in making arrangemonts which entail some, risk or a loss.
Now that responsibility for the Society's main publication has been
transferred to the J ou-rnal Fund, the General Fund will be. utilised for
financing our general activities aJ14 the, Year Book. Out of tlm present
balance the Council has agreed to pay up to £200 of the cost of abo-ok
giving the papers read at the Conference, which is now in the hands
of the printer. r.l'he Life Members' Fund is at present closed, as it is
thought undesirable to accopt further compositions for the 'time being.
The oppo-rtunity has therefore teen tahen ,of revaluing the Fund and
reducing the, balance to the actual amounts sllbscribed by present Life
Members. l],1he sUl'pluE, representing feos paid by deceased compounders,
has been transferred to the Journal Fund.
The total amount standing to members' credit at the end of the year
in respect of subscriptions paid in advance amounts tOo £49 Is. In
addition we still hold £1 Is 3d on acoount of a member fo'r publications
to be ordered.

HONORARY EDITOR'S REPORT FOR 1948.
The Report for 1946-47 was published in January 1949. This concludes the series of B.E.C. Reports.
The Report has now been replaced by a new Journal ({ Wa.tsonia,"
to appear three 001' four times a year, and a f' Year Book" to be published annually. The former is to contain mainly matters of botanical,
the latter of domestic interest.
It was hoped that one or twu numbers of Watsonia would also be
pUblished during the year. For various reasons, among which were the
accumulated lag in the production of the Society'S Reports, and the
decisions necessary ·on the new format, this was not achieved. Part 1
has, however, now been published; Part 2 is in galley proof, and Part R
should be in the printers' hands hefoTH the Annual General Meeting.
It is hnped that all members will co-operate in making the new publication a success. Material fOol' publication should be sent in as soon
as it is ready, and is acceptable at f.my time of year. Plant Records,
however, should be sent in before the New Year, if possible. It is particularly requested that the Instructions to Contributors given on the
inside back cover of Watsonia, Vo!. I, Part 1, should be followed.
The production of the Year Book was postponed, as it was thought
that the duplication of such items as the Members' List was unnecessary
so soon after the appearance of the 1946-47 Report. T'he Year Book for
194:9 will therefol'6' cover both 1947 and 1948. The Hon. General Secretary has kindly agreed to. act as ,Editor of the Year Eoul;:.
The success nf the Couie·rence eu Critical British Groups was such
that it was decided to pUblish the Proceedings as a separate volume
under the editorship of M.r A. J. Wilmott. This is now in galley proof,
and it is hoped that it will be in members' hands before long.

HONORARy jCIELD SECRETALW'S REPORT FOR 1948.
The Field Work Committee met four times in 1948, two of its meetings being largeiv ('oncerned with a.rrangements of the· Conference. No
details regardinl2 the Conference are included here, as a separate report
of it is being circulated to members. I should like, to' express my thanks
to all who !Jelp8ct to make it so successful.
1948 EXCURSIONS PROGRAMME.
Difficulties of organisation were- again experi.enced and for the first
time an excursion had to. be cancelled. It was with great regret that
the visit to Mickleham to study roses, leaders Dr Melville and Mr Sandwith, could not take place because the roses had' been destroyed.
Attendances at Excursions were as follows:-

Members may like to know that the recommendation made by the
Field Work Committee, t.hat, "if possible, either the Field Secretary,
or a member of the Field Work Committee should be present at each
of the residential excursions, and that in view uf the fact that excursions are now self-supporting, the Council should consider making a
contribution from the Field Work Fund towards the travelling expenses
of such an official representative "-was accepted by the Council and
will take effect at tile 1949 Excursions.
May I ask that any members who would care to arrange and/or Jead
excursions should write tu me as early in the year as possible. Suggestio-ns io-1' future excursions are always weJcome and receive consideration
by the Field Work Committee before the programmes are. planned.

MINUTES OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING, 1st April 1949
The Annual General Meeting was heI'd in the Shell Gallery at the
British Museum (Nat. Hist.), Cromwell Road, I.Jolldon, on 1st April
1949, at 11 a.m.
Mr A. H. G. Alston was in the Chair and 36 members were present.
Regret was expressed at the unavoidable absence of Mr Gilmonr, who
was indisposed.
The Hon. Gen. Secretary read the Minutes of the last Annual General
Meeting, which were approved and signed.
.
The HON. GEN. SEORErrARY'S ItE.l'OHT had been circulated.
In reply to Dr Butcher, the Editor said that the Exchange Secti.on
Repol·t would continue to be published separately.
Miss Longfield proposed, and Mrs H. Boyd vVatt sec:onded, that the
Hon. Gen. Secretary's Report be adopted. Carried.
rJ1he HON. rrRJ£ASURER'S ltEPOl'tT bad been circulated.
Mr Brenan suggested that a Sub-Committee Le appointed to. consider
advertisements in Watsonia, and a.dvortising TVatson.ia generally. The
Hon. Gen. Secretary replied that a leaflet was in preparation for wide
circulation, advertising TVatso1~ia, and that advertisements would be
put in both liVa,tsoma and the Year Boole
Ml' Mill1e~n.edhead suggested advertisements of botanical ,acculilrl1oda~
tion and was requested to send in names to· the Editor.
Dr Butcher disappl'oved ,of fees being charged members for attending
meetings which they had a right to attend; he objected also to- a profit
being made on Excursions and on th6' Tea Party, adding that. unlleces~
sary charges keep away young, en81'gotic members. He objected to the
1/- feet for the visit tu the llritish Museum (Na.t. Hist.) Dept. of Botany.
Mr ·Gr·aham also objected to. the 1/- feo.
'11he Hon. Treasurer replied
that fees were charged because expenses wer0' incurred in arranging
all meetings. A loss was made on the Conference and a profit on tIle
Tea Party. The' Chairman said that fees were for the purpose of eJ1Slll'ing that members at'tending Excursions, paid for them themselves, and
also for keeping down the Society's general expenses. T'hoso, who did
not attend, did not contribute. rrIlO' Hon. Gen. Secretary said that in
194.8 there had been fewer cancellations than a·vel' befoTe; in 1947 there
had been 54. In 1947 it WaS found that a third of the. to-tal members
attended Field Meetings. FoOl' this reason, at the Nladborough me€ting
memba.rs objected that a.U menib€l's were paying for that meeting and
that therefore there should be fees. vVeok-end reduced fees wer{!! being
introduoed. Leaders were only paid postage and telepbone expellses.
Mr Wilmott confirmed that on one occasion a good tea was given on an
excursion, and many people for whom it had heen arranged did not turn

too high. Mr Ash said that the- ffea Party fee was too, high, but he approved of fees. Miss Longfield praised the organisers of the Tea Party.
The Hon. Gen. Secretary replied that expenses 'were incurred for arranging the B.M. meeting, as for any other.
Mr Milne>-Redhead said he had attended all meetings and had never
heard any complaints in t,he matter of fees. Dr Burges approved of
fees tOo ensure a'htendance, but objected tOo combined profit of £23; fees
were set too high; voluntary sHort should remain j what happens to the
profit? The Hon. Treasurer said that the profit of the Field 'Work
Committee was not really 1:>0 big j see item Secretarial Assistance in
General Acco,unt, which is partly due to, I~~ield Work expenses. The Hon.
Gen. Secretary said that the catering at the fI1'ea Party was pal'tly done
by the Committee', many members bringing food. No' caterers were employed. For the next meeting we shall require a bigger room and
caterers. The first estimate this year is 2/- to 2/6 per head for tea, and
with printing and tips there will be little profit out, of a 3/6 ticket.
Mrs Gibby suggested reduced fees f.or young members. The, Hon. Gen.
Secretary said that this could be arranged for. It was agreed that the
matter be referred to. Council.. Mr Ash proposed, and Mrs Boyd Watt
seconded, that a vote, of thanks be accorded to the- members who ran the
Tea Party. It was proposed by Dr Butcher, and seconded by Dr BUl'ges,
that the whole question of fees be l'eferred to Council. The resolution
was put to the vote and defeated.
It was proposed by Dr Lambert, and seconded by Mr Simpson, that
the Hon. Treasurer's Report be adopted. Ganied unanimously.
HON. ED1TOR'S ItE,PO'l1/r :-Tho Hon. Editor said that Wa.tsonia,
I, Part 2, would be published shortly, and that I, Part 3, was in the
press. Mr Graham proposed, and Mr F. Rose seconded, that the, Hon.
Edito-r's R-eport be adopted. Oarried.
HON. FIELD 8ECRErr'ARY'S l:t,E,PORT :-Dr Butcher criticised
paying Representatives' expenses. rrhe Hon. Gen. Secretary said that
she had had to pay the sum of £50 personally to defray her expenses in
arranging the Glen Affric meeting. At present the amount allowed to
be paid was a maximum of £2 per representative. Dr Burges said that
it was tragic that such ,a thing should happen, and it must not occur
again. He- added that all Leaders should volunteer their work without
payment. A member suggested that Miss Campbell should bo reimbursed immediately. Mrs Gibby felt that hqspitality should be accorded
to Leaders.
The Hon. Gen. Secretary said that Leaders' postages,
stationery and telegrams, were paid; they might be the ,society's guests at
tea. It was impo,rtant that a member of the lrield W'ork Committee
should be all every Excursion, but he could delegate. the making of reports, lists, etc. The Society should oontribute something, and this is
now limited to- £2. Dr Butcher proposed, and Dr Lambert seconded,
that the- Hon. Field Seere,tary's Report be adopted. Carried.

OFFICERS' REPORTS FOR 1949
HONORAIW GENERAL SECIU1TARY'S. REPORT FOR 1949.
'fhe past year has seen no lessening of the Society's activities
though it has seen a change in the most notable feature and it is \v1th
pride that we draw attention to the record number of publications issued
during 1949.
I do not propose. to deal in dotail with mabters' covered by other
reports, but I would like to. stresB our indebtedness to the Hon.
'l'l'easurer, Hon. Editor, nil' Wilmott and the Publications Oommittee
for the very large amount of work they have accomplished. We have
also to thank the Royal Society for making a grant towards the expenses
of our publications.
""Ve have followed up a Humber of threats to the countryside and
are in close touch with the newly-appointed Nature Conservanoy which
has sought our help in various areas.
Mossrs C. W'. Bannister, R.
Graham, F. Rose, N. Y. Sandwith have given valuable assistance
with their special local knowledge.
Mr G. 'V. Temp~rley kindly represenl;ed the Society at :the Meeting
of the British Association at Newcastle.
The ll'ield Meetings J;lrogramme was carried ou'1; as arranged, and a
most successful Exhibition Meeting was held in the rooms of the Royal
Horticultuml Society on October 22nd. vVe are very grateful to the
organisers and exhibitors.
A sepa'l'ate account of this meeting, together with reports of field meetings, will appenr in the Year Book.
'1'he Council met four times during the year and accomplished a
great deal of work. It is a matter for regret that it does no'l; meet
more frequently and avoid the too lengthy sessions that are at present
required (4 hours and 50 minutes at the lJ'ebruary meeting).
Oommittees have met frequently and the Publications Committee and Field
'Vork Committee have been particularly active.
'fhe Special Cb1llmittee appointed to deal wi.th threats to the British Flora has proved
a useful innovation.
I would lib" to record my thanks to the Honorary Assistant Secretary, Mr W.- It. Price, for taking much work off my hands. He gives
details relating to the :Membel'ship Register in a separate re,port.
I would like to take this opportunity of saying hnw much we regret
the death of Mrs T. J'. li'oggitt, whO' was intimately connected with this
Society for many years, a close friend of the late Dr Druce and a personal friend. of so many of us. Mr -N. Douglas Simpson kindly represented the Society at her funeral.
We ,are particularly pleased to ·welcome a number of Junior Members and hope that they will encourage others to join their ranks in

the near futu1'€-.· Every effort should be made to increase the Society's
membership ftnd I would ask each member to, propo,'3e at least one friend
during 1950.
A leaflet advertising lflafsonia has been widely cir~
culated to Institutions, Natural History Societies, etc., and may be
had on application together with the Society's Prospectus.
To maintain all Olir activities even with the present membership
must involve ,us m reorganisation of our administration 'if we are to
cnntinne to give so much in return for so small a SUbscription, and it
is hoped that the Council will have proposals for wider sharing of work
to put ,pefore the Annual General Meeting.
My own field activities were reduced to' a minimum last season, but
I managed a week in an almost unknown area i.n v.~c. 97 and was able
to continue studies O'f the French Alpine }I"'lnra in an all too' brief visit to
La Grave and district when I wal'3 invit.ed to accompany Dr Howarth
and his students. We were fortunate in having with us Professor
Netien, a distinguished botanist with much local knowledge, together
with his Assistant and two students from the University of Lyon.
'1'he Societ.y i.s indebted to, so many people for assistance in various
ways that it is impossible to name them all individually: I would, how~
ever, like to express thanks to the following:-Dr J. Ramsbottom for
hunsing my " Office," Professor Osbnrn for continuing to accommodate
our stock at Oxford and to' Mr J. H. Bllfnett and his helpers for deal~
ing with orders; the J ..innean Society of London and the Royal Horticultural Society; Mr Wilmo'~t for the immense amount of help he gives
in addition to what is obvious--hc has not missed a single Council meeting for at least three years; J\fr E. L. S-wann for acting as Distributor
and Mr nangel'ter for his kindness and reliability ill dealing with correspondence during my absences.

'1'he accounts issued with this Report, reflect activities greater than
those of any prevjons year in the history of the Society. In publicaLions alone (and these are always the major charge on our income) mem.bel's have received three varts of om now journal Watsonia and a Year
.Rook. In addition all members (except those who paid their first subscription for the year 1949) received a free copy of Brit.ish IPlowering
Plants and Alodern S1Jstema.tic Met'hod's by way of compensation for
two 0a.dier years when 110 Report was issued owing to wartime conditions. \Vith the exception of the Distributor's Reports (one of which
is now in the lHess) our rmblications may nO'w be regarded for financi~l
purposes afl being up-ta-date althongh it is hoped to accelerate production of Tralsonia so that records and papers may appear more promptly
than at present.
'Whereas all Balance Shfle,ts since 1940 have included substantial sum.s
which wo had hoped' to return to members later in the form of publications, the present figures are free from arrears with the' exception
of a relatively small sum for the Distributor's Ueports already mentioned. This is the explanation of the reduction in our assets. Unfortnnatj~ly we are not back in the happy position usual be£o,re the war
when the balances at the end of each year weTe sufficient to cover the
next year's publications. In the case of the' General Fund the balance
of £146 188 6d might suffice for this purpose (Year Boole plus Distributor~s Reports) Imt the balance or the Journal Fund amounting to
£211 16s 8d js little more than half the amount we are likely to require.
'l\ll'ning to our income and expenditure fi.gures, the positi.on is even
less satisfactory.
The combined annual income of the Genera] and
J onrnal Funds amounts to about £510 per annum against expenditure
38
OFFICERS' REPORTS J!'OR
1949
of a.bout £240 for general expenses, the Year Eaole and the Distributor's
ReJiJOrt, and £410 for TVatsonia. Thus an additional income o.f at least
£140 is required to maintain our publications at the present level, and
even 11101'6 if they are to be increased.
This deficit has arisen owing to the increased cost nf producing an
onlarged periodical in more frequent parts. Watsonia and the Year
Book published during 1949 cost £492 compared with £291 for the
1946/7 Ileport and D-i,stributor's Report issued with it, The expecta-tion that our improved pub.1ication would be foUnwed by a marked increase in membership has not materialised. Actually the reduction in
applications from people wishing to join the Society which became apparent in 1948, has been even more,evident in 1949, which produced the
lo'west net increase since 1944. A.s subscriptions are our main source of
income it is hoped that steps now being taken to make our journal
more widely known, and the assistance of members in introducing ib
to their friends! will l'ectify the posi.tion during the coming year. The
gap was partly HUed in 1949 by a generous grant from the Royal Society
of which £75 was applied towards the cost of printing original papers
in lVats()nia and the balance of £25 towards thG cost o-f the Conference
Hepo-rt,
Du~'ing the year we have eocpended the unusually largG sum of £15 6s
on four purchases of runs of back Reports. Of many of these parts our
stocks are low, and it is expected that the Society will benefit from
these transactions before the end of 1950.
The Publications Fund figures also call for an explanation.
The
purpose 'nf this fund is to accumulate proceeds nf sales of wnrks com~
piled and published for the. Society by the late Dr Druce, and it is hoped
to use the money to finance fresh editions of Oomital Flora and the
B'r'itish Plant List. The cost of British Flowerin.g Plants CIIf'td. Modern
Systematic 1\1 ethods (the 1948 Oonference Report) debited to this fund
has resulted in a net charge of £56 16s Id, which should soon be covered
by the proceeds of sales. The book was issued too late in the year for
these to show any appreciable return in the present accounts. Your
Council very properly took the view that any arrangements made for
financing the book should not handicap our intentions of issuing fresh
editions in due course of the works for which the Fund is intended.
The total amount standing to the credit of members at the end of
the year in . respect of subscriptions paid in advance amounts to £66
13s 6d! and in addition we hold 5s 3d on account of a;, member for publications to he, ordered.
Work in connedion with the finances of the Bociety has increased
considerably during the year a,nd I should like to, express my appreciation of the loyal assistance of Mr E. L. Swann in collecting subscriptions and of the work of Mr O. JJ. Collenette as Honorary Auditor.

HONORARY EDITOR'S REPORT FOR 1949.
The first three parts of lVatsonia appeared during the year-in
January, April and October. It 'would appe,ar that these, apart from
the cover design, met with general approval, but suggestions for improvement will be welcome.
Pal't 4 should appear early in 1950 and some material for Part 5
is in the printer's hands.
The delay in publication of papers has been largely overcome and
contributors may now, in general, expect to see their papers published
within a year ,of submitting them for pUblication.
It is hoped that the time lag in pUblication of such regular features
as ,Plant Records will be gradually overcome.
'1'he cover design has heen receiving the attention of the Publications
Committee and the Council and it is hoped that a satisfactory cover
'wiH replace the present one be'£or8 long.
The attention of contrihutors is drawn to the Instructions printed
on the inside hack cover of each part of Watsonia, particUlarly to thp
request that MS. should be double-spaced.
The first number of the Year Book also appeared during the year,
edited by the Honora.ry General and Assistant 8ecretaries.
It has heen decided that the Dif!ltribut.or's Report instead of forming a' separate publication shall be ineluded in the Year Book. As this
decision was reached too late for the inclusion of the 1947 Report in the
Yea'l" Book for 1949, it will shortly be. issued as a Supplement.
The report of the Oonference on "'1'he Study of Critical British
Groups Jl was published in October under the title, British Flowering
Plants and Modern Systematic. Methods. '1'he Society is indebted to
Mr A. J. Wilmott for editing this pUblication.

REPORT OF EDITORS OF YEAR BOOK FOR 1949.
The late appearanoe of the 1949 Year Ddok was much regretted,
but ]]atnral1y'the production of a first' number of a publication entails
considerahle work and consultation. Reports and accounts of Excur~
sio11s wel·e exclusively for 1947 and accounts of meetings had to be
postpnned to the next issue. The 73 pages entailed a lot of work, but
this will come easie1r in future, and it is hoped that the number of items
of Notices, Instructions and Personalia will continue to increase, so
that Year Book will increase in size ann interest. We hope in future
to s.6nd Year Book 1\1SS. to printers during the month of February,
and it will be appreciated if members will kindly send in their contributions not la,ter than the middle of January. Members' comments and
suggestions concerning the Year Book will be welcome and wi.ll receive
careful consideration.

repOl'ts that aU the meetings arranged took place and that 239 applieatia-Hs we,re received and 29 visitors attended, some of whom have since
joined the Society. Detailed accounts of the meetings, of which the
one at Kings LYllll was the best attended, will appe-ar in the Ye,ar Book.
We wish to thank Mrs B. Welch and M1' E. Milne-Redhead who acted
as official representatives at the meetings at Kings Lynn and Taunton.

MALHAM TARN FIET,D OENTRE.
Th,s meetihg was arranged at short notice through the kindness of
the Council f.or the Promotion of Field Studies, and we wish to thank
all those- who- assisted, and especially the Warden (Mr Holmes) and
Assistant '-Val'den (Mr Douglas) at the Field Centre.
The following aC'i:~oml.t has been contributed by Miss Joan Gibbons.
Only five membE)rs (Hon. Marjorie Cross, Ml' M. O. A.. Foster, lVII's

EXOURSIONS,
1948
W'arden, Mr Douglas, who knows the country well, guided the party to
the most interesting plants nearby.
nn the first evening a thunderstorm, with heavy rain after several
weeks of drought, prevented exploring straight' away, but information
was gleaned from some Manchester Grammar SchoO'l biology students
who asked fnr help in naming some of their finds.
On Saturday morning Mr DouglaS! took the party on the Tarn Moss,
which is most interesting ground. Eri.ophorum va(Jina~lHn was very
conspicuous among the heather with Scirpus cacSIPito8U.s and Bilbe-rry.
There were a few plants of And·romedal, Rub1~S C'hamaernorus, Uxycoccus
quadripe'ta,lu8, Drosera ro'tundifolia'J 'Prirrvu,"/;a jarinosa, and Empetrum,
and other plant.s seen were Oo'chlea,ria alpina., Poten-tUla pafru,stris,
1l1enllwrd:Jhes (badly cut by frost), Pedicu,laris' 8ylvatica and Vaccin.ium
Vitis-idaea. rrhere was a small patch of T1'OU.i1J.81 very visible from the
drive, and one couldn't help wondering if it had been put there for
effect hy the same pel'son who had brought Senecio sarracen'icu~ into the
garden in fuU view of the windows. There was also some Alchem,illa
aZpin,a and Lonicera Xyloste'Ulln evidently planted. There being no
expert available, willows were not investigated. Sa,li;,c pentandra was
abundant on the Moss with the' possibility of a hybrid wit,h S. i'epens.
The OMex lii'lt includes O. rosirata, panicea, can.escens, panicula,ta and
paradoxa.
In the afternoon the party was joined by PI'Of. C1apham, and visited
a bog to the east of t.he, rrarn, passing a scree of limestone on the left,
where Arabis hinuta, Draba wlvral,i8J, Geranium, lrucidum, Saxijraua
tridact1/lites, Sesleria, Asplenium viride, A. Tric'homan,es, A. Ruta1n1/,1'aria~ Polysti,chum acu,leatu<1n" llieraciUirn mac'l),latum were· found.
'1'118 bog at the head of Gordale Bed.: was not attractive at first sight
with muddy pools. among grassy tufts, however plenty of interest was
found; PrimtlJa farri·nosa was fairly abundant. One plant of Orchis laUfolia (pink) and several plants of Bart,no. a./.pina and An.tc1'lJltwia dioim
were seen, and sedges included O'arex dioica., O. pu~ic(1,ri8, O. Hostiana,
and C. l'epidoco.,rpa,. On a high bank above the beck were Viola lutea
and Oarex bitn.ervis.
.
In the plantation sU1'1'ounding the house there were several segregates of Alchernilla vulaa.ris, also. Geum rivale.
On Sunday morning the east side of the Tarn, where the·re is a stony
beach, was e.xplored. Above the heach there were a few bog plants,
including. Drosei'a roi>-tlffl,difoUa and Pilng11,a,(1),la v'UIgari.~. Saxijraga
hllpnoides wa.g growing among the stones, and, where a spring ran into
the Tarn, Oanx dioica and ScirpuS' pa,u,rijlorv,s. Arenaria verna was
growing not far from the Tarn outlet.
In the afternoon the Warden took the party in the "Truck)) to
Malham village. Mr Frankland of Skipton joined them, as well as the
Assistant Warden. Oa,rd'amirne ama,ra, was seen in Malham Beck, and
Thla'~'Pi a./pestre and Polemonium were seen before reaching the Cove.
The bfLllk on the left of the C'ove was intereatiug with small limestone

plants and Geranium sang-uineum, which sho·wed no flower, but may ha.ve
been picked, as had most of the Po~emoni1~m. On the top among fiat
limestone Actaea was fonnel and several ferns growing deep down in
cracks. in the limestone pavement. The dry valley up to Malham Tarn
was very barren, the only plant of interest being a tree of Bm'bus rupicola. Gatiurm pwniltfm1, was found on limestone screes and Hippocrepj..~
behind the house.

refreshments. being provided by the Department.
The following morning 32 members and friends set off by motorcoach to the south of the county t,o examine the elms in the neighbourhood of Gilmorton and Lutterworth. Specimens of Ul1J1fll,s coritarw. Melville, Ulmu-s gla,bra; Huds. and hybrids. nf these two, and Ulm1~s' PlotU
Druce were coHected and their characteristics were explained and discussed by Dr Melville.
The arable fields and roadside hedges of the distriC't were· also explored.
The party then moved across the country to the Charnwood Forest
area whore a stop was made at Groby Pool for lunch. Afterwards members examined the interesting flora of the pool and i.ts s.urroundings.
Nymphoides pelta,tum made a fine show in the puol a.nd the sandy margin yielded Limosella aquavica,. Other plants noticed were llorippa
amphi,bia, Sperg11ZaT'ia rubra" Hyperictl/m nUtmifu,;;'nm., Erodiwln CiCl1,tarium, Trifolium striatum, O'1'n.ithop'U's perpy,sillus, Typha latifo~ia"
Typha wngu,;;i'i!olia.
':Phe next stop was made at Swithland Wood, a sessi.le oak wood with
an interesting ground layer, typical of the woodlands or the Charnwood
Forest. Fine clumps of Uwrex pend1~la were seen.
Tea was taken at Woodhouse Eaves and afterwards a short time was
spent on Beacon Hill and Hanging Stone Hills before returning to
J.Jei cester.
On Sunday the party left the, University again by motor-coach for
East Leicestershire and Rntland. Tugby Wood (a pedunculate-oak
wood) was visited first to see Owrex strigosa. Vicia sylvaticl'L in the same
Jocality was just beginning to fio'wer, but unfortunately it was ton late
to soe lVIyos1ot'is s1J~vaiica at its best. A visit was then made to Holywell,
I.1nes. (oolitic limestone pasture) which is included in the area put f.orward as a Nature Reserve in the report submitted tn the Minister of
Town and County :planning by the IbCal eommitte8'.
The party saw in some profusion A'nemone Pulsatilla, Astragai.-u8

The afternoon was spent in Cllpsham Quarry, whe,re the old disused
portions of the quarry have a rich limestone flora. Here thEl typical
form of UlmuS' Plotii was soon.
The roses attracted the attention of some of the members, and collections were made. The foUowing plants wem seen :-Papuver Rhoeas,

"Tuesday, June 29th. A very enjoyable drive brought the botu,nists
to Aberdovey, where they were met by J\h Bible, who has studied the
flora of this neighbourhood. Under his guidance waste, ground near the
station, the golf links, sand dunes, and a marsh were examined and
many interesting plants wer8 seen. ~rhese included a colony of Ophrys
(lpi/era on the sand dunes and a fine collection of marsh ol'chises, among'
which various interesting hybrids were noted. After a welcome tea n,t
the Trefeddian Hotel some of the-party saw CentulI1culus m,inimus and
lladio~a, lrirwid,es on the hillside.

Leader: Dr J. G. DONY.
This excursion was arranged for the purpose' oJ adding to the
Con1ital.."lJ'lora records £.0-1' V.-C. 31, Huntingdon. Mr P. G. M. Dickinsoll,
F .S.A., who- was to- have been joi.nt leader, and gave valuable assistance
in tho preliminary arrangements, was unable to join the' excursion. The
weather during the week-end Ivas fllle except on the Saturday evening
(Aug. 21st). The following members attended: -Miss D. Uayliss, Lady
D. IVL Birke-tt, Miss It. Camy, Mrs H. It. Davies, Missl G. H. Day, Miss
L. ':V. Frost, 1\1I'S B. Hassall, Miss' M. Isaac, Miss M. Knox, MisS' n. M.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 20TH.
At a preliminary meeting in the e.vening at the George Hotel, Huntingdo-n, the leader explained tile purpose and plan of the excursion.
S,ATURDAY, AUGus'!" 21ST.
An early start was made a.nd the party taken by coach to Wood Walton Ch,11'ch where it divided into four sections A.. J. Wilmott led ouo
section which visited Monks and Bevills Wood and made a list of about
200 species. Another section in charge of A. H. G. Alston made a
thoruugh soarch of Connington Dump and W. H. Davies led a small
52
EXCURSIONS,

section tu seilrch the edge of "Vood 'Valton Fen outfiide the natUl'6 re"
A larger section, in charge of the leader, first vi.sited Connington
Dump and later jOilled the section at \.rood Walton 11'en. All sections
re-assembled at 'Vood. Walton Church to which the cnach returned t,o
take us to St'Ives for teA.. A few members returned to' Hllntingdon after
tea, but the remainder spent a useful evening on
Ives gravel pits
until the rain forced them back to the town. We shall all remember
the delightful i< inquest" at the Geol'ge Hotel when we related to
\Vilmott Ollr finds and submitted our specimens faT his determinatioll.
The greatest attenti'on was centred. on a strange ragwort :found by L. W.
F~'ost and R. P. Libbey on Connington Dump which appeared to be
Hencc'io erucijotiu3XvisGoSU3, and on Miss Frost's H prize "--six feet of
sow thistle carried- through wind and rain from the gravel~pit at St
Ives-this ,Vilmott thought to be SO'n,Ch1~S aTvcnsis X palu.str'is. Neithm
hybrid appears to have been prcrviously ohsened, We hacl found two
previously nndescribed hybrids,

SUNDAY, AUGUS·T 22ND,
WO had'the coach 'with us an day and wi.th Holme Fen as our main
objeetive we paused for a few minutes outside Monks Wood so that
members who had liot seen M ela.mpyrurn c:ristat'l.l.1n on Saturday could
see this plant. Holme Fen pl'Dv-ecl jnteresting, but was 80 much overgrown with bracken that only a few more energetic members of the party
\-vere able to penetrate, far into its dep'Lh. Drllce reported with surprise
that Lliyr'ico, Gale grew to five feet high here, bnt we saw it almost twice
that height, A return along the loa,cl to see DipsaC1t,S piLosus, spotted
all the outward j0ll1'ney by Miss Morgan, started the' afterno-on, and
useful bl'eaks were made later by the Old Course of the Nene neal'
Ra1l1se-y wheTe fine speoimens of Suncinu; pal1l,st-ris were seen some five
miles from where they were original1y introduced by lJord Rothschild at
Wo,od Walton Fen in 1912 and at, 'Varboys Wnod, an interesting wood
with a more limited flora than Monkf,l, ·Wood. Tea was had at The Three
HOl'f,l0- Shoes at Wistow after which Cam. Graham thanked the leader
for the ttrrangement of the oxcursion and for the intToduction -D.f a
Botanical Society standard of diBtance--the, dOlly-mile,
The- evoning
was s.pent at some int.el·esting gravel pits at Hartforcl and a somewhat
smalleT party met after dinner at rrhe George Hotel to discuss the day's
work.
MONDAY, AUGUST' 23u.D;
A much rednced party made a later start and spent a short period
at Eaton Bacon gravel-pitl"l in Bedfordshire. Rain in the afternoon
help.ed to diminish the party, .but the four remaining members spent a
useful hour by the riverside at St Neots, adding still more records to the
many made for Huutingc10nshire during the week-end,
.A departure- has been made from the usual custom of including re~
cords of interesting plantsl seen in the rep OTt of the, excursion. It is felt
that it would be in keeping. with the spirit of the members during the
EXCURSIONS,
53
1948
excursion, to include the records with an those made i.n the county dur~
ing 1948. Most of the plants found previously were l'e-found during the
'week~end. While every effort has been made to' attribute each Tecnrd to
the person who made it there may be enors for which the leader
apologises.
As leader I wish to express my thanks to Messrs P. G. M. Dickinson,
J. E. H. Blackie and VV. H. Davies, who helped in'many 'ways lily task
of leading an excursion in country little known to me, to the manager
of the -George Hotel who kindly placed without charge, the writing ,rOaIT'
at our disposal, and the' Premier 'rl'ave.l Company withnut, whose r'eady
('o~o-peration the excursion might have, failed completely.

EXHIBITION M.EETING,

EXHIBITION MEETING, 1948
An Exhibition Meeting was held in the Rooms of the, Linllean Society
on Friday, 29th October 1948, with the kind permission of the Council.
In all 95 tickets were sold and over 90 members and friends were
present. A number of interesting exhibits was displayed by members,
and excellent faciliti.es £'01' discussing the season's finds were afforded.
It is regretted that the comfort of those, attending was slightly dis-turbed by the alterations to the heating system, and the conseqnont
derangement of certain furnishings, a circumstance not foreseen when
arrangements were made for the use of the Rooms many weeks earlier.
A profit of £5 158 2d was credited to the !l'ield War}.: Committee's
account.
It is realized that the numbers atte·nding the Eexhihition Meeting
have no-w reached the limit that can comfortably be accommodated in
the Linnean Society's Rooms, and it is hoped tha,t -the next Exhibition
:Meeting will be held in more commodi.ous surroundings.
My thanks are due i;;Q Mr C. L. C'ollenette and Mr W. It. Price for
assistance with the arrangements.

An Exhibition Mee,ting was held in the Royal Horticultural Society's
New Hall, Greycoat Street, Westminster, on Saturday, 22nd October
1949, from 3.30 to 6.30 p.m. There was a very good attendance comprising 84 member:'> and 3.0 guests, ft to'hal of 114. A small loss of £115/7
was debited to the Field Work Oommittee's account. Twenty-five exhibits we~'e put up by members j of these 20 were pressed specimens,
1 living specimen, 2 paintings and 2 photogl'aplHl.
The following is' a list of the e,xhihits to which notes have in S01110

Notes on distinguishing radical leaves of Selinnl11., Silo1/,1n, and
PenCedarl1/tlm, by S. M. WaIters.
The radical leaves of these three plants are very similar
(forms of Dau,cus may be distinguished by having at least sparse
hairs on the leaves, whilst these three species are glabrous),
but can be distinguished in the followhlg way:In Si[aw/'f~ S'ila1M the tip of the leaflet is acute and brownishpurple, in co.]our, quite clearly visible wi.th a Ions. In SeLi'l1!lJ,m
ralf'vi,folia the tip is very acute and 0010url.ess, visible too the
naked eye. In Pence-damt·m pa,l'ustre the leaflet has a much
more obtuse tip, which may have varying amounts of a brown
or purple colour in it.
Other general differences i.nclnde the narrower outline to the
loaf of Beli1l/u,m as ,opposed to- Silaum and Peuceilamllln j the
smaller individual leaflets in Se[inum, and (at ChippenhaIll) its
light groen colour as compared to ,(~?lawrn.

These fresh specimens of Salicornia wem collected on the edges
of the marsh, east side, at Blythburgh Bridge, Suffolk, on the
south side of the River Blyth, about five miles from the, coast
at Southwold. They al'e."of interest because, owing: to repeated
breaks in the river wall, large armis become flooded at every
tide, and the salty marsh flora is ooming much further inland
than was the case a few years ago. The- place of collection was
less than five minutes walk from the- village, inn.

incana" A. glu,tinosa· and the hybrid between them from a
wood near Ho-rley, Surrey, by J. P. M. Brenan.
Alrnus incama (L.) Moench, an Eurasian species e,xtending to
North America, is well known as an established introductjon in
Brit,ain. In August 1949, in Langshott Wood, Horley, Surrey,
v.-c. 17, I observed ;1. 'l!(!'canal) A. al1d·inosa (I~.) Gaertn., and
numerous trees most convincingly inte,rmediate between them;
specime.ns of the, two species and the hybrid were on show. This
hybrid, well-lmown on the' Continent, does not appear to have
been previously noticed in Britain. A more detfLiled note on its
nomenclature and characters is being prepared for publication
in Watsonia,.
an~min(3U-m C. C. Gmel, by R. C. Burget>.
The above plant grows in fair quantity round the western edge
of 'Vestwood Pool near Droitwich. It was in go'od flower at
about 10.30 a.m. on July 22nd of thi.s year, and growing in
. about 12 to 18 inches of water. In this stage there are -two dist,inct types of leaves, the· submerged ones are soft .and flaccid
whilst these that appoal' above the water a1'8 stiffer and tel'minate in a lanceolate tip.
The flowe-rs are uniformly smaller than A.. Plantaao-aquat"ica
and are- always white.
.
As the pool dries up, the plant is left completely exposed on
the mud, and the. grassy submerged leaves wither away leaving
the stiff lanceolate le,aves.
Although it will grow amongst rushes it obviously prefers
open mud, with .FJlatine Hyrlropiper and a few plants of Lirnosella.

EXHIDITION MEETING,

-I have known this plant at \Vestwood Pool since 1939, but
many years befm'e this the Worcestershire botanists recognised
t.hat thi.s plant. was dist.inct. The first record appeared in the
Transactions of the \Vorcestershire Naturalists Club, 1920,
wl,ten, during a half day 'walk of the club to visit.Elati1te Hydropiper at Westwood Pool the following note was made: Ati,~ma
la.'nccolatwm (the narrow-leaved Water Plantain) is here the
dominant species and flourishes almost to the exclusion of the
common fO'1'111! 1-1ater on the ·Wores. Trans. record Alisma Planto.go-aquatica var. graminiloli'um. I feel sure they were des{'ribing the same plant, which they had seen on previous visits,
I have been .unable to find either Alisma Plantago-aquatica
,0'1' Alisma lanceolahum ro-und the- pool.
The pool is frequented by migrant ducks and water fowl and
I suggest that itsl mode of i.Il'broduction is by this means.
Elatin.e B'ydropi,per, and RUl)'nex Tfl,arUirnus, which is occasional,. both have probably been brought by similar means.
Nearby is the saline canal from Droitwich which contains
many salt marsh plants, ft notable new arrival has been Spartina
:Pou'nsendii.

PooP annua. 1.11., P. Bu.pina Schrad. and .hybrid, by C. D. J»igott.
Poa, supina (2n-14), a plant of upland and alpi.ne· regions, differs
from the common Poa wnnua (2n-28) in i.ts perennial creeping
rhizmme, its early flowering, the greater length of its anthers
and the shape and arrangement of its flowers. Specimens from
Scotland were exhibited showing these morphological differH
ences, but to confirm the presence ·of this species in the British
Isles a cytological investigation is also required.
A sterile
triploid hybrid is reported from Scandinavia.

A sheot of Milium SCaUT1LI/'n from the north coast of Guernsey
was exhibited. It. was rediscovered here in April 1949, fifty
years after its original discovery by Andrews, and is locally
abundant though very inconspicuous.
Narrdu.r'u,s maTitirnus was shown from Bloody Oaks quarry,
Rutland, where it was found by Mr E .. K. Horwood. The quarry
is situated among fie.Jds at sOome distance from roads or houses
and has long been disused. It is hard to see how this grass can
have been introduced here.
Nica.ndra Physaloides has persistod, at least for some years,
on a piece of waste ground by a school in Leicester. It is in~

Specimens of X Chenopodi11m l10rdei were" sent to and identified by Dl' Aellen at Basle. NII' Brenan writes: - " This exceedingly intere8ting and rema.r};:ah1o" plant is quite new to
Britain."
These aliens appeared in a field where some ridge- cucumbers
were grown in 1947, where the ground was very weedy with a
total of 68 species of weeds, the soil being clay with flints on
upper chalk, 600 feet above sea level. On enquiring of the
farmer what had been put on the land, the reply was farmyard
manuro, Fison's potato, manurG, muriate of potash and castor

Carrot-field aliens in West Norfolk, by R. J? IJibbey & E. L. Swann.
This exhibit showed the resulta of six years' field-work in the
carrot fields of vice~county 28, which was carried out to ascertain
the number and variety of alien plants which were being introduced thl'ough the medium of imp'orted carrot seeds. Apart from
varieties some 25 species were found and they were:-
Matthiola bicOTn'i8 DC. South Eur. One plant only fonnd.
H eliwnthus awnwus L. North Amer. Occasional.
Own,taurea 80lstlitialis L,. Eur. Very rare.
Lactuco, sativa, 1..,. Found occasionally 1949 only.

Solal(1.1lIrn sarrachoides S-endt. South Amer. Both entire and
tooth-leaved plants were shown. It would appeal' that leafoutline does not indicate specific differentiation as entire

An interesting light is thrown on the preponderance or
American aliens in our carrot-seed by Professors Munn and
Bucholz in an article. in Bulletin 735 of the New York Agricultural Experillle11t Station, entitled "The Quality of Seeds on
Sale in New York in 19'48." They found carrot-seed packets to
contain more weed seeds than any others examined and the
number and variety accord very closely with those found in
'West Norfolk. Observations in this cnuntry confirm the frequency -of both Echil{wrhloa Crus-gaUi and- Setaria viridis.
For their enconragement and assistance with cr'itical species
the exhi1)itol's· are much indebted to Messrs J. P. M. Brenan,
C. E. Hl1bhard) and N. Y. Srmdwith of the Kew Herbarium

f.a-und on somewhat CalCRI'eOllS exposed rocks at over 3000
feet altitude by P. R. Bell and E. C. Wallace. in early
August 1949. A few plants bore flowers, but many cons.isted of a fow leaves, being seedlings frolU rock lDdges

in the middle of the northern haH of Lismore Island, Argyllshire, probably the most northerly station in Dritain for

there is no. doubt about its being a native constituent of the
island's flora.

It Bhould be und~l'stood that the specialist it:! Hot necessarily prepared to name all :,;pecimens submitted. In som6 cases the specialist
indicated may not yet have attained sufficient knowledge of the group
he is studying. In other cases the material submitted may be incompleto, lacking adequate data or badly prepal'ed. All the specialists will,
however, do. the best they can to' identify plants submitted by members.
Unless it is reasonably certain that specimens will arrive in good
fresh condition, they should be sent flat in paper between stiff millboards to prevent shl'ivell.ing. Dried pressed specimens may be sent
similarly. 8pecimens sho·uld be carefully labelled with locality, habitat,
da1,e and any nthel' notes· likely to, be of use. Whenever possible specimens should be submitted in duplicate, so that t,he spceialist may retain
one specimen if he so· desires. If only Olle specimen of a gathering is
submitted it should be clearly st,ated whether its return is desired.
Any member who is studying a critical group and would like his
name added to the Panel should forward particulars to' the Hon. General
Secretary for consideration by the Council.

OBI.TUARIES
OBITUARIES
SIR GIWRGE OHHSTE,R (1886-1949) was a member 'of this Society from
1913 to about 1927 and contributed parcels to the, Exchange. Club in six
of the first seven years of his members1]ip, He· supplied a very large
number of l'ecoTds to Druce's ]flora of Northamptonshire, including
various BuN. A prominent member of the Trades Union Oongress and
chairman bf their Economic Oommittee, he was knighted in 194,8, and
became a Director of the Dank of England in March 1949 somo six
weeks befor8 his death. His most active botanical work was ·done between 1908 and 1930 while he was Secretary of the Kettering and District Naturalis~s Society. Political activities made ever increasing demands on his time during the 1ater years of his life.
.J. E.
LOUSLEY,
J.lT.-COJ.. G, A. H. WATTS (1873-1949'), a retired nffice.r of the Indian
Cavalry, died at Fleet, Hampshire, on Novembel' 9, 1949', He CJontributed many records to Frasol' and Treble Martin's Flora of Devon, and
was particularly active in investigating the south-western counties while
he lived at 'l'iverton, and later the country round his home at Fleet.
Watts -book specimens of most of his finds and sent them to the Natural
History l\fuseum, Kew, and to. specialists to be named or confirmed, but
he did not fo-rm a l]erbarium of his o-wn. He wrote up each day's work
in det-ail ·in dial'y form and also wrote descriptions of each new plant
found in another sOl·ieB- of note-books, These, and the diaries (which are
incomplete), have been deposited at the Natural History Museum
through the. kindness of his widow, She also sent me a book containing
some pressed specimens, most of which were unloca1i.sed, He lived in
Switzerland at Chat€au d'Oex from December 19'21 to 'September 1923,
a-nd his note-books recording 753 species make particularly intGl'es·ting
reading, while a stay at Diano Marirla and Tenda, Italy, in May 1934,
provides 427 species. Although most, of his best work was done alone,
his quiet dignity made him an always popular member of botanical
gatherings and his presence will be missed at meet-ings of this Society,
which he joined in 1927,

DISTRIBUTOR'S REPORT FOR 1948
It is my nnfortl1nat€ duty to l'Spo-rt a further decline in the number of sheets received for distribution, although there was an increase
of two. over last year in the number of members who contributed parcels. In consequence of the small number of gatherings represented
one fears that the contl'illlLtol's of the larger parcels received a 801118wha,t inadequate roturn. The I:>pecimens W8re all well prepm'ed and
the amollnt of matarial to each sheet was usually satisfactol'Y.
Tt WOlllcl saye the distributor nl1wh .of the time spent in writing
up the report if contributors would send the details of each gathoring
set Ollt in accordance \vith the scheme used i.n the reports. A separate
fllip of pal)6l', 8' X 5 inches, should he usod fo·l' each gathering.
The tJHtnks of the Society are due to the following for the.ir kind
help ill examining specimens and supplying notes: G. M. Ash, J. P. M.
B.l'e1nan, J. S. ]~. Gilmour, R. Gra-ham, J. D. Grose, C. E. Huhbard,
J. R. L01l8ley, R. D. Meikle, R. 1:Ielville, E. Nelmes, E. F. Warburg,
A. J-. Vfilmott.
Thanks are also due to the Council and Director of the National
L\fUS611ID of 'V\.Tales :[01' permitting the ex.change to be cal'ried out in

have the peduncles glabl'olls, and the calyx of the typical b1111ace kind.
The fruits in size and shape resemble the bullace. Plants 'with glabrous
pedicels occur fairly frequently in Britain, hut I have not yet been
able to decide whether they should be regarded as a separate variety
or subspecies distinct from the Continental forms with puberulous
peduncles or that hybridisation with the plum has taken place. Both
plum and bul'ace al'e hexaploids with somatic chromosome number 48,

'The nnmber of sheets contributed wa" only 325, which is the lowest
in tlIe history of the Society. While this has made the Distributor's
work all too easy, it is to he deplored that this valuable branch of the
Society's activities has fallen to snch a low level.
Amongst tho new members there mnst be sev:eral who would weloome this opportunity of obtaining sheets of interesting critical plants.
By collecting in localities which havc been little worked the,y could help
consi.derably in problems of di.stl'ilmtion and add to, the knowledge of
plants gsneraJly.
A few more keen workers would infuse fresh life
into what appears to be a doomed section.
Tn the light of lV[r Nelrnes' paper on 'Pwo O'f'itical G'f'o'Ups of Brit'ish
Sedges in the Societ.y's Report for 1945 rnemllers ·will appreciate thc
