The copiously branching slender habit, broad lower leaves, sub-

NOTES SUPPLEMENTAL TO THE FLORA OF BRISTOL. 

 Bt J. W. White, F.L.S. 



DuEiKG the period that has elapsed since the publication of my 

 book, some excellent additions — expected and unexpected — have been 

 made both to the numbered list of accepted species and to the locali- 

 ties recorded for scarce plants ; while a few systematic and structural 

 matters of more or less interest in relation to the district flora have 

 claimed attention. The discoveries herein mentioned will raise the 

 number of species (other than aliens) inckided in the Flora of Bristol 

 to a total of 1200. 



A good deal of the information hei'e given has appeared from time- 

 to time in the Proceedivc/s of the Bristol Naturalists^ Society, but 

 the Editor's suggestion that it should be arranged for publication in 

 this Joiirnal was willingly adopted, since, apart from any local value, 

 these notes may have an interest for botanical students. 



It will be apparent to the I'cader that in active field-work the 

 author's personal doings now count for little. This deficiency, how- 

 ever, is of no nioment in face of the energetic help given by a succession 

 of loyal friends and correspondents whose kindness is once more grate- 

 fully acknowledged. 



Anemone nemorosa L. At a meeting of the Bristol University 

 Botanical Club in March last year Mrs. Sandwith exhibited some fine- 

 examples of phyllody of stamens in the Wood Anemone found in a 

 numerous colony within the Bristol district. This condition, whei'ein; 

 true leaves are substituted for stamens, is not at all frequent, but 

 according to Dr. Maxwell Masters has been observed not only in 

 A. nemorosa, but in other allied species. Present-day views teach us 

 that this is not a retrograde change, but one of progression. In some- 

 foreign Anemones transitional forms between stamens and sepals are 

 always present, and there is a section of the genus where two or three 

 of the sepals are entirely green and bract-like. By one more step we^ 

 arrive at the foliage-like development in Mrs. Sandwith's Wood 

 Anemone. 



Baminciilus lieteroplirjllus Weber var. snhmersiis lliern. In Fh 

 Brist. I record the occurrence of this ))lant in braekisli water near- 

 Lawrence Weston, G. Last year Miss Roj^er forwarded some sheets 

 of it from that locality to the Bot. Exch. Club, and Messrs. Hiei-n and 

 Wheldon reported that these represent B. triclwphijUus Chaix. 1
