SHORT NOTES. 25 



Triticum jnnceum, L. This, which as a segregate has no record 

 for South Devon in * Topogr. Bot.,' is abundant on the sands at 

 Exmouth and in the neighbourhood, and also on Dawhsh Warren. 

 With it near Exmouth are, at least, two other distinct maritime 

 forms of Triticum which I believe to be T. pungens, Pers., and the 

 littoral form of T. repens {T. littoreum, Schum.). What appears to 

 me yet another form occurs in some quantity on the sands between 

 Exmouth and Strait Point, and this I think may be T. acuUnn, DC. 

 But, I should add, the only maritime form of this genus which I 

 feel able clearly to identify is T. jimceum proper. 



Lepturus Jiliformis, Trin. Frequent at Exmouth, Dawlish 

 Warren, and Budleigh Salterton. 



Elymus arenarius, L. Apparently absent now from South 

 Devon. My search for this rare grass and for Euphorbia Peplis, 

 L., (both reported in * Flora Devoniensis' for Exmouth,) was very 

 close there and on Dawlish Warren in August last ; but it proved 

 wholly unsuccessful. 



SHOKT NOTES. 



EosA MOLLIS, Sin., &c., IN NORTHAMPTONSHIRE. — By the borders 

 of Plain Woods, five miles west of Northampton, Rosa mollis occurs 

 plentifully, not only in the hedgerows, but also about the wood 

 itself. This Eose appears to be more widely distributed than was 

 formerly considered. Mr. Baker has named some Eoses that I 

 have gathered during the year in this county. They include Rosa 

 coriifoUa, Fries., from hedgerows between Gayton and Eothers- 

 thorpe ; R. arvatica, Bak., stone-pit near Northampton ; R. verticilla- 

 cantha, Merat, (not the type) from the Nene Banks ; R. imj^lexa, 

 Gren., east slopes of Boro Hill at about 400 feet. R. tomentella, 

 L., about Gayton. R. pimpinellifoUa, L., is frequent near the top 

 of Boro Hill, about 750 feet ; and also grows sparingly in Harleston 

 Firs. Pl. micrantha, Sm., is not infrequent in Whittlewood and 

 the other Forests. — G. C. Druce. 



Parinarium DiLLENiFOLiuM, R. Bv. — Steudel has quoted from 

 Wallich (Cat. 7520) the name of this species, which he gives as a 

 synonym of Petrocarya dillenifolia, Steud. The type-specimen 

 consists merely of three leaves gathered by Wallich himself 

 " in montibus Peuang." I thmk there can be no doubt that 

 these leaves belong to a plant of very different affinity, namel3% 

 Biptcrocarpus cornutus, Dyer, Fl. Brit. Ind. i. 296, the diagnosis 

 of which is founded on fruitmg specimens collected by Maingay at 

 Malacca. — W. T. Tkiselton Dyer.
