BEPORT OF THE BOTANICAL EXCIIANGR CLUB. 185 



Riimex ? " Crook of Devon, Kinross and Perth." — J. Boswkll Syme. 

 I have sent a few specimens of a Rnuu-x which is a puzzle to me. It 

 grows in the same stations as R. conspcrsus, but is less abuii'lat\t. The 

 stems are 18 inches to 3 feet hit^'h ; the root leaves narrowly oblong, 

 scarcely cordate at the base, and subacule ; the panicle is very similar to 

 that of R. obtiisifoUns, but the enlarged petals, which are of a brilliant 

 red, are smaller, more deltoid, and with shorter teeth. It seems inter- 

 mediate between R. ohtmifuliiis and the supposed hybrid sant by me 

 last year. 



Asnrum enropanin (L.). " Deerfold Poorest, Herefordshire. The spe- 

 cimens are from the locality communicated to Mr. Britten by Dr. Bull, 

 and mentioned in the ' Journal of Botany ' for 1870, p. 161." — AuGUSTiN 

 Ley. 



Eiiphorhia Laihyrh. "The locality, at Breinton, Herefor Ishire, for 

 this plant is the side of a steep wooded bank, where it has been fully 

 established for some years, and has the appearance of bein.; natural. 

 There are, however, gardens and houses within a short diitance." — 

 AuGUSTiN Ley. 



Narcissus major. Curt. "Thickets, Penygraig rocks, Glyn, Llangollen, 

 Denbighshire." — Elizabeth Jones. 



Allinm car'mntnm, Linn., Pries, non Smith. Banks of the Tay below 

 Perth (Preu. Stratton and J. Boswell Syme) ; and banks of the Tay 

 at Seggieden, Perth. — H. M. Drummond Hat. The plant gr )ws in the 

 greatest profusion along the banks of the Tay, especially a little above 

 the first turnpike-gate on the Dundee Road, more than a mile below Perth 

 Bridge. Seggieden, from whence specimens are sent by Colonel Drum- 

 mond Hay, is, I believe, about three miles below Perth Bridge. The 

 plant is certainly well naturalized on the banks of the Tay, if it be not 

 native. Dr Hooker, in the ' Student's Flora,' admits it as a nutive, on 

 the faith of the Newark station, where, however, it appears to be confined 

 to a single patch. 



Alli.nin paradoxnm, Don. " Bienny Crag, Linlithgowshire. In very 

 large quantity, and has spread very much within the last few years." — 

 A. Craig Christfe. 



Malanthcmum blfoUnm, DC. " Wood, Linlithgowshire. Probably in- 

 troduced, but if so it must have been a long time ago, as it is well esta- 

 blished, and in quantity." — A. Craig Christie. 



Bntomus mithdlatns, Linn. " Abundant in a tidal marsh on the Tay, 

 about four miles below Perth." — John Sim. Mr. Sim states that it 

 was discovered in this station in 1869, by Colonel Drummond Hay. In 

 the April number of the ' Scottish Naturalist,' p. 59, Dr. Buchanan White 

 suggests that it is " possibly a colony from Loch Cluny, where the Bidomus 

 occurs as an introduced plant." 



Potamo(j('lon niU'.ns, \\ eber. A specimen sent by Dr. Roy adhering to 

 living plants of Cirex Walsoni, from the river Don, Aberdeenshire. 



Junciis h'ujhuais, Linn. " Isle of Skye, luveruess-shire." — M. A. 

 Laavson. Profi'ssor Lawson is the first botanist who has fouiul' this 

 plant in the west of Scotland. 



SrirpuH Huifjlumis, Link. '•Sandhills near Deal, Kent." — J. P. Duthie. 

 New to province 3. 



S. parvidns, Rom. and Sehultes. "Near Studland, Dorset." — J. C. 

 Mansel (Journ. of Bot. VIII. p. 290). Mr. H. C. AVatson seids 

 some specimens collected by Mr. Mausel in tliis station.
