SHORT NOTES. 



I have yet made. I have little doubt it is native. — * Polygonum 

 duvielorum L. Near Plumstead. — Sali.v pnrjturea L. Fairly 

 common about Darenth. — ■•'Acorus Calamus L. Pond in Baldwyn's 

 Park, perhaps planted. — *Carex axillaris Good. Near Blendon 

 Park. — "^'C. distidia Huds. Nortlifleet; Darenth. — C. divulsa Good. 

 Eltham and several other localities. ■ — C. distans L. Nortlifleet 

 (inland). — Kceleria cristata Pers. Dartford Heath, plentiful. — 

 — Bromus racewnsus L. Darenth Meadows. The following are 

 unrecorded for 15, East Kent : — Sali.v viminalis L. Below Faver- 

 sham. — '■''Scirjms triquetcr L. By the Medway between Forstall and 

 Aylesford, in quantity sufficieut to make it surprising that it has 

 been overlooked by previous botanists. My thanks are due to 

 Mr. Marshall, Mr. Eogers, and Prof. Hackel for assistance in 

 determination of several of the above plants. All the Ruhi are 

 vouched for by Mr. Eogers, who kindly told me they were new to 

 the vice county. — A. H. Wolley Dod. 



EuBUs EoGERsii Linton in Scotland. — I have recently recog- 

 nised this species among some brambles gathered in Mid-Perth (88) 

 by Mr. Charles Bailey, about Knock of Crieff, during last summer; 

 and also in a gathering by the Eev. E. S. Marshall (No. 158), from 

 shingles of the Carron, near Bonar Bridge, E. Eoss (100), which 

 was sent out by him as " Ihibus annnobius Focke?" This extends a 

 newly described bramble to Scotland, and adds two Scotch counties 

 to the five English and one Irish for which it is known. — Edward 

 F. Linton. 



JuNcus TENUIS Willd. — In his list showing the distribution of 

 this plant (p. 89), Mr. Bennett apparently overlooks Co. Cork, 

 where it has been recorded by Mr. E. A. Phillips (Irish Naturalist, 

 October, 1894, p. 205) as growing in woods at Mill Cove and 

 Dunbry, and "in abundance near Adrigole .... principally on 

 damp roadsides, and bare spots by the sides of streams, not in the 

 turf, and associated with such plants as Cicendia filiformis, Anthemis 

 nobilis, Eu/raf/ia viscosa, Scutellaria viinor, J uncus bufonius, and J. 

 lamprocarpus.'' — E. Lloyd Praeger. 



HiERAciuM diaphanum Fr. var. cacuminum, n. var. — Stem from 

 6 to 18 in. high, scarcely branched, the mountain form bearing 

 from 1 to 4 flowers (the Hepste Glen plant 2-7) and 3-4 leaves; 

 the lower part with shaggy white hair, which extends to the petioles 

 of the lower leaves, and in small specimens to the peduncle. 

 Primary leaves roundly elliptic ; lower oval, on rather long 

 petioles ; upper Ungulate, sessile, very long and large in pro- 

 portion to the height of the stem; thin, dull green, nearly naked 

 on both surfaces ; entire, or more commonly with 2-4 shallow 

 irregular teeth. Peduncles usually with 1-d short loose bracts 

 which bear stiii' hairs, with some floccose down and many minute 

 yellow glands. Buds oblong ; phyllaries broad-based, obtuse, 

 outer dark green, with lighter margins, inner longer, light green ; 

 slightly hairy and glandular. Tip of ligules destitute of cilise ; 

 styles pure yellow. Gregarious, growing on turfy ledges of moun- 

 tain rocks, a larger proportion than usual of the stems being
