350 IHE BEITISH MOSS-FLORA. 



Edenbridge. The specimens have all been identified by Mr. N. E. 

 Brown, of Kew. — Ernest S. Salmon. 



Carex Montana Linn, in N. Somerset. — I was having a day's 

 botanising last July with the Rev. R. P. Murray in the Mendip 

 Hills, when I had the good fortune to detect the leaves of Carex 

 montana L. among the grass on a gently sloping bank by a road- 

 side. Careful search led to the discovery of a few withering spikes, 

 very few in proportion to the number of its plants, and on one of 

 these a single fruit remained. It was late in the season for this 

 early flowering Carex, and this may account for our not finding the 

 remains of a larger number of spikes. Mr. Murray, who has been 

 collecting material for the forthcoming ' Flora of Somerset,' has 

 since informed me that this is an addition to the county list. — 

 Edward F. Linton. 



Rubus silvaticus W. & N. —I have to correct two errors in the 

 names of the stations of Rubus silvaticus in my article on this 

 bramble at p. 276. The S. Wilts station should be Landford, as 

 it is correctly written in Herb. Rev. W. Moyle Rogers, and not 

 Landport ; the Salop station Longmynd, not Longwynd, Hill, this 

 latter mistake being the result of a typographical error overlooked 

 in the correction of the proof. — T. R. Archer Briggs. 



Rosa micrantha Sm., var. Briggsii Baker. — My attention has 

 been directed to the statement in the last issued "List of Desiderata " 

 of the Botanical Exchange Club to the effect that "Rosa micrantha 

 Sm. var. Briggsii" is synonymous with "Rosa agrestis Savi." This 

 is certainly not the case, for the Devon plant is clearly a variety of 

 Rosa micrantha, as stated in my 'Flora of Plymouth.' It differs 

 from the typical plant only by having perfectly glabrous peduncles, 

 and sepals eglandular at the back. It so happened that the varietal 

 name of Briggsii was first given to specimens of a luxuriant form of 

 this variety by Mr. J. G. Baker in his Mon. Brit. Roses (Journ. 

 Linn. Soc. xi. 222). — T. R. Archer Briggs. 



Welsh Records. — I have been again in N. Wales, at Bedd- 

 gelert, this autumn, and met with the following plants not included 

 in Top. Bot. ed. 2 : — 48. Merionethshire, Lysimachia Nunmiularia and 

 Sparganium simplex ; ditches east of the Glaslyn below Aberglaslyn 

 Bridge. 49. Carnarvonshire, Carex remota; on the old road by 

 Gwynant Lake, leading to Pennygwryd. — F. C. S. Roper.
