SliORt NOTES. 217 



Austini Snll. and a tuft of a Carcx which I made out to be G. pauci- 

 Jiura Lightf. The habitat was at an elevation of 1000 feet. The 

 8pha(/num had not previously been found in Ireland, and I have 

 since collected it on the Bog of Allen, near Glashill, in King's 

 County [Irish ?\'aturaHst, ii. 22). The Care.r also does not appear 

 to have been previously discovered in Ireland. The specimen lay 

 in my herbarium till January of this year, when I submitted it to 

 Mr. Arthur Bennett, who verified my find. He also furnished me 

 with the distribution of C. paucijioni in Europe, as follows : — 

 Iceland ; England ; Scotland ; Norway, North and Middle ; Swe- 

 den ; Denmark; Germany; Belgium (Ardennes) ; France (Vosges, 

 Jura, Mts. Dores and Forez, Alpes) ; Switzerland; Italian Alps ; 

 Austria ; Hungary ; Transylvania ; Carinthia ; liussia, Middle. 

 In Northumberland and Yorkshire it occurs at a comparatively low 

 elevation. — H. W. Lett. 



The ' London Catalogue,' ed. 9. — The responsibility for italici- 

 zing Festuca heterophijlla is not mine. I declined to do more than 

 make suggestions on the genus ; and the introduction of this grass 

 is as much "not proven" as that of Falcaria, which has been 

 known to grow in E. Kent ever since 1858. The name Carex 

 ventricosa Curt, can hardly be displaced by C. depauperata Curt. 

 on such slender evidence, especially in view of Curtis's express 

 preference for the former, which is also much more apt. The 

 plant which was to have been named Hieracium Lintoni proved to 

 be a Scandinavian species, H. pseudonosmoides Dahlst. ; it is one of 

 our most distinct hawkweeds, and has simply reappeared under its 

 proper title. The Hieracia (fairly numerous) which I have growing 

 keep as constant as any other plants, come up true from seed, year 

 after year, and do not appear to hybridize with one another. — 

 Edward S. Marshall. 



[It is satisfactory to have Hieracium Lintoni cleared up, but 

 Mr. Marshall's explanation fully justifies our suggestion that more 

 "reticence might be observed" in the publication of new Hawk- 

 weeds. The description of H. Lintoni was in type for Mr. Hanbury's 

 'Notes' {Journ. Bot. 1894, 225-233), and was only withdrawn at the 

 last moment, and at some inconvenience ; and it seems a pity that 

 its identity with H. pseudouoswuides was not then indicated. — Ed. 

 Journ. Bot.] 



New Worcestershire Eecords. — Mr. Charles Waterfall has 

 kindly supplied me with specimens of Fumaria parvijiura and 

 Euphorbia Fsitla var. Fseudo-ci/parissias, recently gathered by him 

 at Eipple. The latter he first met with at this station in 1893. 

 Both are new county records. I may add that one plant of 

 Fnphorhia Esula (type) was found by the late Capt. A. Steuart and 

 myself, growing among corn at Bransford, Worcestershire, in 1892, 

 but it was evidently an introduction with seed. — Kichard F. 

 Towndrow. 



Galium bylvestre Poll, in Worcestershire. — This plant was 

 met with, in some plenty, in a pasture at Malvern Wells, during an 

 excursion of the Malvern Field Club on June 6th. In The Stranger's
