Papaver hybridum in Denbighshire. — In Watson's ' Topogra- 

 phical Botany,' 1st edition, on page 590 of the Miscellaneous Notes, 

 this plant is given as found in 50, Denbigh, on Mr. Webb's authority 

 and described as " Rhyl, casually." Now Rhyl is in 51, Flint, which 

 county was queried in the first part of the work, so doubtless Mr. Webb 

 intended to confirm the latter, but managed to give the wrong 

 county. This poppy used to grow on the sandy ground on the east 

 side of Rhyl near the cemetery, and also by the footpath inland, on 

 the other side of the railway. I found it in these two stations year 

 after year until the Gladstone Bridge and a new road were made, 

 when it disappeared, and I have not seen a specimen there for the 

 last eight or ten years. This year in September, I saw a fair 

 number of plants of this species in a field of mangolds, just 

 bordering the sea-shore above the old salmon weir at Rhos Fynach, 

 near Colwyn Bay. This is 50, Denbigh, and is the first time I 

 have noticed it in this county. It will be interesting to see if it 

 retains its hold there next year. — Robert Brown.

 The Lejeunea of Lindenberg' s Herbarium.* 



Herr F. Stephani, of Leipzig, one of the most indefatigable of 

 hepaticologists, has lately conferred a benefit upon other crypto- 

 gamic students by examining all the specimens of the genus 

 Lejeunea in the herbarium of Lindenberg, now at Vienna, upon 

 which many of the species recorded in the ' Synopsis Hepaticarum ' 

 were founded. He adopts the arrangement proposed by Dr. Spruce 

 in ' Hepaticae Amazonicre et Andime,' where a natural division of 

 this immense group into subgenera is attempted. Numerous mistakes 

 are corrected, and since many of the older species were founded by 

 Taylor, I have translated those notes most likely to interest British 

 botanists, omitting a number of corrections previously recorded by 

 Dr. Spruce and others. 



It is perhaps desirable to call attention to the similarity in the 

 names Lindenberg and Lindberg, in order to avoid the confusion
