14 THE JOUKNAL OF BOTA^T 



accustoraad to date his spacimens, but we know that the White 

 Water-Lily from Tickenham Moor S. in his herbarium would not 

 have been gathered later than 1870. In the years that followed I do 

 not remeniber that anyone remarked the plant's presence on the moor. 

 It is still there, however, in one of the main rhines, as reported (1914) 

 by Mr. F. Samson. 



Meeonopsis cambrica Vig. S. Callow Rocks on Mendip. First 

 recorded thence bv Mr. F. S.iaison in Proc. Bristol Nat. Soc. for 

 1912. 



[^Roemfria liyhridn DC. Gr. Six or eight plants on a fowl-run at 

 Baptist Mills, 1913 ! Ivor W: Eoans. On made ground, St. Philip's 

 Marsh, 1913-1916 !— S. Dustheap, Portishead, 1914 ! Mrs. Sarul- 

 with.^ 



SjKypecolim procumhens L. Casual by Portishead Dock, May 

 1907 ! Miss Liveft.'] 



Fuinaria pcdlicliflora Jord. S. Corner of churehj'-ard, Axbridge, 

 1912 ! Burnham ; Watson in Journ. Bot. 1917, 180. The Axbridge 

 roadside plant {Fl. Brist. 139) — the churchyard colony appears to be 

 the same — has since been determined as his var. Bahingtoiiii by 

 Mr. H. W. Pugsley. 



F. Boraei Jord. Keferring to the single specimen found by 

 Mr. Bucknall on the Frome bank and my note thereon in Fl. Brist., 

 it is of interest to learn that Miss Roper in 1915 observed a good 

 quantity of this Fumitory on the border of a cornfield at Nibley, Gr., 

 not far from a rivulet that drains into the Frome above the spot 

 where Mr. Bucknall's plant was detected. 



Barharea arcuata Rchb. In Fl. Brist. I mention a peculiar 

 form of Yellow Rocket with spreading arcuate pods gathered many 

 3^ears ago in a marsh by Stapleton Gr. At the time no botanist con- 

 sulted could definitely place it, but after thirty-five years the point 

 was settled by the receipt of a specimen of B. arcuata authenticated 

 by M. Brebisson and by a note from Mr. A. Bruce Jackson, who 

 writes : — " This is no doubt typical B. vulgaris var. arcuata Rchb., 

 which Reichenbach described as a species." The Stapleton .plant has 

 entirely disappeared. 



[" Arahis alpiim L." Fl. Brist. p. 145. Mr. Druce informs me 

 that he finds the specimen in Herb. H. C. Watson to be labelled 

 "Whitehall" not "White House" as written by Banks. This 

 makes the locality clearer, Whitehall being a district of East 

 Bristol. Mr. Druce thinks the plant gathered was probably A. al- 

 hida.'] 



Hesperis matroiudis L. Several plants in woodland on Claver- 

 ton Down, Bith ; June 1913 ! 



Sisymhriuin officinale Scop. var. leiocarpum DC. G. In plenty 

 by the side of a grassy track on Ivory Hill. The two forms were 

 growing together ; the variety could be recognized at once by its 

 paler and greener tint, the type being somewhat hoary and at length 

 purplish-brown. — S. On made ground near Arno's Vale, 1912 ! Up- 

 hill village, 1917 ; Noel Sandwith. 



[_S. Irio L. By unfortunate oversights this alien was omitted 

 from the Flora. \Yhen I gathered it in St. Philip's Marsh in 1904
