sucli a fruiting season as this when Turner was moved to write in 

 praise of the Bullaces of Somerset.

 Charterhouse-on-Mendip ; a larger quantity in the hedge of a meadow 

 nearer Blackdown ; H. S. ^hompson. End of a lane near Farrington 

 Gurney ; Id. The Court Hill above Norton's Wood, Clevedon ! 

 Miss Roper. Asham Woods, 1917 ; R. V. Slierring. 



This handsome plant was thought likely to grow within our borders 

 (^FL Brist. 86) but was not recognized until 1915. The only valid 

 excuse for this failure that I can advance lies in the scanty descrijj- 

 tions given in British books. The characters that separate A. odoraia 

 from the common Agrimony are mainly of degree, but a constant 

 distinguishing feature of the former is the rounded base — campanu- 

 late, not obeonic — of the mature calyx which is marked with shallow 

 furrows that do not extend more than half the length. This essential 

 character is unnoticed by English writers. As pointed out by 

 Messrs. Thompson and Bruce Jackson (Journ. Rot. 1915, 280, 337) 

 we must go to French, Swiss or Belgian authors for a satisfactory 

 treatment. 



Pofenfilla arqentea L. G. On sandstone at Longwell Green, 

 Hanham ; and a single plant at Mr. Fry's old station for Filnr/o 

 minima in the same parish, 1917; Miss Roper. — S. A large patch 

 by the sidings at Portishead Station, 1912 ! The leaflets being 

 narrow and deeply cut Mr. Marshall believed it to be the var. fenid- 

 loha Jord. In sevei'al ])laces on a rocky slope under the C'adbuiy 

 range near Tickenham, looking like a native though on limestone !

 spicuous on a portion of the open Down, and in this instance less 

 suggestive of hybridity than is often the case with plants of this 



••regate.
