344 EErORT OF TDE BOTANICAL EXCnANGE CLUE. 



seed from ]\[r. Eaker, although the two wikl phmts are considerably 

 unlike. The Orkney plant I have no doubt about being true H. 

 s/n'cfum ; it is smaller than IT. conjmhosum grown under the same cir- 

 cumstances, has the leaves greener (without any glaucous tinge), 

 harsher to the touch, hairy below, especially on the midrib, and has 

 the stem more wiry and hairy, with rather stiff, spreading hairs, while 

 it is sparingly clothed with woolly hairs, or sometimes nearly glabrous, 

 in the Crook of Devon plant. Neither the Orkney nor the Crook of 

 Devon plant are yet even in bud, so that I cannot compare flowers, etc."

Hieracium juranuirb, Fries. R. Borreri, !Syme E. B., ed. iii. 

 '•■'' Specimens of this plant from Bex, collected by Dr. Dagger, which I 

 have received since the genus Hieracium was written for the third 

 edition of ' English Botany,' have convinced me that my H. Borreri 

 is the Il.jiiranum of Fries. On coming up from the seed it produces 

 a rosette of stalked, oval leaves ; the first year that the plant flowers 

 some of these leaves remain till the flowering is accomplished, but 

 after the first year the flowering stems proceed from closed buds pre- 

 cisely as in II. corymhosum. The styles are bright yellow, not fuscous ; 

 in all otherrespects it agrees well with Eries's description." — J. T. Bos- 

 well, June, 1875. 



Ei'ica Watsoni, Bejith. "I have for a longtime thought that this 

 hybrid would be found in a locality between Truro and Penryn, and in 

 company with Mr. T. B. Blow, of Welwyn, was fortunate enough to 

 discover it in considerable quantity. It grows in a barren moor which 

 is not likely to be cultivated."— J. Cunnack, 1874. "Mr. H. C. 

 Watson informs me that Mr. Cunnack's specimens resemble the form 

 (described by Mr. Bentham as E. Watsoni, more than that found by 

 the Eev. C. A. Johns, which is cultivated in Mr. Watson's garden at 

 Thames Ditton, and from that source has been largely distributed 

 through the Botanical Exchange Club." — John T. Boswell, 1875. 



Calluna vulgaris, Salisb. " On limestone between Billacombe 

 and Elburton, S. Devon. Two or three specimens sent as a record of 

 the fact of the occurrence of this on limestone near Plymouth. The 

 very rpugh rocky ground where it grows is being gradually brought 

 into cultivation, which makes me the more desirous to record the 

 occurrence of this plant there." — T. R. Aecher Beiggs, 1872. 



Limnanthcmum nymj^hceoides. Link. "Lagan Canal at Straumillis, 

 about a mile from Belfast. It is considered in this locality an intro- 

 duced species of modern date ; nevertheless it is now well established 

 I have known it in the above station for ten years ; occasionally they 

 clear out the cunal, and the plant seems lost, but in a year or two it 

 reappears in as strong force as ever." — S. A. Stewaet, 1872. 



Salvia pratensis, L. " From the same locality from which it was 

 sent last year by Mr. Lintoo. As far as I could observe it was not 

 common, but pretty widely distributed over an area of four or five 

 square miles — e.g., border of a wood above the ponds, Charlbury 

 Park ; meadow near the head keeper's house ; lane leading thence to 

 gtonesfield."— H. E. Fox. 



Salvia verticillata, L. *' In a grass field of not less than two years' 

 standing, Leigham, Egg Buckland, S. Devon, About half a dozen 

 patches of this conspicuous plant in this field in July last, where, as
