NOTES SUPPLEMENTAL TO THE FLORA OF BRISTOL 79 



land, G. 1916 ! Miss Roper. Plentiful in an orchard at the Manor 

 House, Chew Magna, S. 1914 ! C. E. L. Gardner. Introduced from 

 Ireland. No new locality had been reported for many years. 



It. maximus Schx'eb. (-B. Hydrolapatlium var. latifolius Borrer). 

 Ditchbank, Shirehampton, G. 1914! Miss Moper. The plant had the 

 unequal-based, cordate lower leaf, and its fruit showed the broad, 

 denticulated perianth-lobes and broad nut proper to the species (or 

 variety). In the Avon near Saltford Lock, 1917! C. Bucknall. 

 This example had been badly used by the llood-vsrater, but the 

 characters were clearly recognizable. Hitherto unreported either in 

 Gloucestershire or Somerset. 



[ X -B. conspersus Hartm. (R. domesficus X ohtusifolius) . Casual 

 by Portishead Dock, 1908 ! Miss Roper.'] 



Polygonum minus Huds. Boggy ground at Priddy, Mendip, 

 1917 ; B. W. Tucker. Is still on the peat at the locality where it 

 was found by the author in 1895. — var. subcontigimm Wallich. A 

 small state from the Mineries on Mendip, B. W. Tucker (see Journ. 

 Bat. 1917, p. 188). 



Daphne Mezereum L. Two plants that had not floAvered were 

 seen in the wood on Churchill Batch in March 1915, by Mrs. Sand- 

 with. I saw one there in April 1917, still without flowers. Even 

 more satisfactory, perhaps, is the finding of a bush in Eaker Hill 

 Wood, Chewton Mtndip, by Mr. B. W. Tucker. 



Euphorlia Lathyris L. On made ground at the lower end of 

 Stoke Bishop Wood, G. 1914 ! Ivor W. Evans. Railway bank, 

 Keynsham, S. 1914; Id. 



[Ficus Carica L. Fig. Dwarf trees of many years' growth 

 have sprung from a wall of the Floating Harbour near Bristol Bridge, 

 in the centre of the city ; from coast rocks near Clevedon ; Rev. E. 

 Ell man, and from a wharf -wall at Highbridge ; Miss Roper.] 



JJrtica dioica L. The Clevedon locality reported by Miss Livett 

 for a plant approaching var. angustifolia (Fl. Brisf. p. 531) is 

 probably that on Stone Edge Batch near Tickenham, where I have 

 lately seen such a variation, well marked and conspicuous. 



tllmits nitens Moench. {IT. snberosa var. glabra Syme ; IT. 

 glabra Miller). Many trees of this handsome Elm stand by Henleaze 

 Lane near the Blind Asylum, making a green arched tunnel of the 

 roadway ! C. Bucknall. By the road to Kangeworthy skirting Yate 

 Lower Common ! Miss Roper. The TT. montana var. nitida of Syme 

 in E. B. appears to be the hybrid montana xni fens. 



IT. campestris Huds. In Fl. Brisf. p. 533 mention is made of 

 two young Elms at Frampton Cotterell that are curiously united at 

 ten feet from the ground by a horizontal cross-piece. It may be 

 worth while to say here that similar instances of " inosculation " are 

 figured in The Illustrafed London Almanack for 1847, and in the 

 Gardeners'' Chronicle for 1849, 421. 



Salices with abnormal flowers. A tree of S. caprea on the skirt 

 of King's Wood, Rhodyate, S. was noticed by Mrs. Sandwith to bear 

 monstrous ovaries, the germens being borne on stalks as long as them- 

 selves and being furnished with pollen-sacs in place of style and 

 stigma. So long ago as 1841 the late Rev. J. E. Leefe described
