cceruleum, Polygonatuin officinale, etc. the Cyclamen occurs in 

 scattered patches, a dozen or more, over a space of at least 100 yards 

 measured from the largest colony situate just within that border of 

 the wood which adjoins the paddock and gardens of the estate. The 

 plant does not look as if it had ever been planted in the positions 

 it occupies ; should it be derived from some outsijtie cultivation a very 

 long period would be necessary for it to spread \h this extent. I saw 

 no adventive vegetation in the wood beyond a couple of Box-bushes 

 and an Apple, and their age would be infantile compared with that 

 of the plant under discussion. The Cyclanaens looked healthy and 

 vigorous and were flowering freely on Sept. 8. The existence of 

 Grerard's note invests this occurrence with extraordinary interest. 



Gentunculus minimus L. An excellent addition to the local 

 flora. The discovery had been anticipated (Fl. Brist. p. 36) but was 

 reserved for the Rev. E. Ellman, who detected a few tiny jjlants in a 

 mossy track on sandstone " between Pill and Kownham Ferry." 

 C. minimus is very rare in Somerset and Wilts, and unknown in 

 Gloucestershire. Its diminutive size (1-1| inches in this instance) 

 must often enable it to escape observation. 



Limonium binervosum C. E. Salmon. Is not lost from the main- 

 land of N. Somerset as was feared (Fl. Brist. p. 498). On the 

 Swallow Cliffs near Sand Bay, 1918 ! F. Samson. Rediscovered at 

 Brean Down on the extreme edge of a shelving cliff, 1915 ! H. F. 

 Devis. 



Plantogo Goronopus L. var. Sabrinee Cardew & Baker fil. A 

 remarkable variation, described in 1910 by Mr. F. N. Williams as 

 P. serra7'ia L. Mr. Marshall finds it to be decidedly perennial, and 

 is inclined to believe it specifically distinct. He reports it as occur- 

 ring very sparingly on Brean Down, and in abundance on Steep 

 Holm, where it seems to have been first gathered by the Rev. T. 

 Butler about 1845 {Herb. Brit. 3fus.). — var. transiens Beguinot. 

 Sandy ground, Berrow, S. ; M. S. Marshall. — var. bipinnatijida 

 Wirtg. Sandy roadside green, Berrow, S. ; apparently new for 

 Somerset; F. S. Marshall m Journ. Bot. 1915, p. 129. .
