Rosa virijinea, Rip., in Desegiise (not Extr. de I'Enum. des 

 Rosiers, Jom'n.|Bot., June, 1874, p. 167); Cat. Rais., no. 28, p. 57. 

 Wood near Horsebridge, South Hants. August, 1876. This is a 

 very large bush (about 15 ft. high), with the exception of one stem 

 quite destitute of prickles. The name has been confirmed by M. 

 Desegiise. — H. Groves. — Except in having hairy styles, a Rose I 

 collected at Gawton, Beer Ferris, S. Devon, September 13, 1875, 

 agrees admu'ably with the above. Before I saw Mr. Groves's 

 specimens I was at a loss what to name it, but suspected an 

 approach to Pi. si/styla, a, view confirmed by M. Deseglise's arrange- 

 ment, in which virginea appears among the styloscB, immediately 

 before leucochroa. — T. R. A. B. 



(Enanthe pimpinelloides, Linn. Cliffs near Sidmouth, South 

 Devon, May 30, 1876. A most luxuriant form, growing in patches, 

 with rose-tinted flowers and stems three feet high, in long coarse 

 grass close to the edge of the sea-cliff. Most of the heads in bud 

 only, but a few with a flower or two open. On August 11, 1876, I 

 found this plant in some abundance in a large park-like field at 

 Teffont, South Wilts, growing side by side with Jiincus coiu/lonieratus. 

 This locality is eight or nine miles from the Dorset border, and its 

 first recorded station in AVilts. Here the plants were all in fruit, 

 and already quite destitute of root-leaves. — W. Moyl.e Rogers. 



Arctium nemorosum, Lej . On quarry spoil-bank at Magheramorne, 

 near Larne, Co. Antrim. August 24, 1876. One large plant only 

 seen in flower, but abundance of root-leaves all round about. I 

 am not aware of any other Iiish Burdock having been with 

 certainty referred to this species. Some years since, while strolling 

 over a little island in Strangford Lough, Co. Down, I gathered a 

 plant which I sent to Cambridge as probably A. nemorosiun. Prof. 

 Babington, after diagnosis, wrote me that it looked like the right 

 plant, but too immature to be identified with certainty. I have
