154 SHORT NOTES. 



HoRDEUM sYLVATicuM IN SuRREY. — I fouiid this plant in a wood 

 not far from the northern end of the Merstham Tunnel, near 

 Chipstead. This seems worth notice, additions to the Surrey 

 Flora being now so rare, although it makes no difference to the 

 range of the plant, but only fills a gap, it being recorded in 

 'Topog. Bot.' for North Hants and West Kent. — H. Groves. 



A Correction. — There is a mistake in my note on Dr. Nyman's 

 ' Conspectus Florae Europaeae,' printed at p. 120, for which I beg 

 to apologise to Dr. Nyman and to tlie readers of the Journal. 

 Rosa Bloncheaiia, Eip., which I have there included among " Plants 

 given as British in * Conspectus Florae Europaeae,' but not considered 

 natives by British botanists," is, I see, one of the many synonyms 

 of our R. marginata, Wallr., in Baker's suhruhifjiiiosa; series, under 

 R. canina, L. — W. Moyle Eogers.
