4G THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 



members of the Bristol Natm*alists' Society are stated to have observed 

 it " in considerable quantity in the Priory Wood near Portbury." 



Erythrcea pulchella Fries. Kecoi'ded for Leigh Woods by J. 

 Poole in 18-37, and found there again in 1915 by the Jiev. E. EUman. 



Asperiiqo procumhens L. Waste ground under Ashley Hill, (>., 

 1912 ! loot' W. Eoam. The old locality at Twerton, S., is still 

 productive according to Mrs. Dent Young. 



\_Echiiiospe,rmuui Lappida Lehm. Still among the casuals in 

 St. Philip's Marsh, 1916 ; G. C. Druce. Several plants on made 

 ground near Brislington, 1912 ! Fields off Yanley Lane, Long 

 Ashton, lately used as a mule camp ! Fowl-run at Clevedon, 191 Ji ; 

 Miss LivettJ] 



Si/mphi/fum tuherosum L. Several clumps in a small plantation 

 at Failand, with some obvious introductions, 1912 ! D. Williams. 

 Apparently new to N. Somerset. 



*S'. aspenim Lepechin. {8. asperrinuun Donn : Fl. Brisf. 434). 

 It is certain that at the date of Fl. Batlion. the true plant, with 

 short obtuse sepals and vipper leaves all subpetiolate, was growing in 

 St. Catherine's Valley near Bath : a sjjecimen from the herbai-ium of 

 Thos. Clark, gathered about 1833 by Mr. French, is in Mr. Buck- 

 nail's possession. It is equally certain not to be there now. 



8. officinale L. Varieties and hybrids. Mr. F. Samson has 

 introduced us to a large colony of these Comfreys — xdensiflorum 

 cliietly, with some X discolor, and the vars. ocliroleucum and pur- 

 pxireum in smaller quantity — situate on the right bank of the Chew 

 below Chew Magna, S., no (S*. peregrinum there. X lilacinum, the 

 least common of the hybrids, has been found on the Frome near 

 Frenchay, Gr. , In this station the leaves are rather less decurrent and 

 tlie plant produces more fruit. These habitats are additional to those 

 given by Mr. Bucknall in his revision of the genus Symplii/ticm 

 {Jovrn. Linn. Sac. {Bot.) xli. 550).

 me in 1911 and again in 1912 from near Langford and Dolebury, was 

 ]3robably this and may have originated from the nurseries at Lang- 

 ford." Miss Ar/nes Fry. In Oct. 1912 Mr. Bernard Elton sent me a 

 specimen from Langford.]

 tliere by Mrs. Sandwith.
