322 THE JOUBXAL OF BOTANY 



SHORT NOTES. 



New CoL'NTr Records for ARarLE. In the course of a visit 

 in September to the district at the nortli end of Loch Awe, I came 

 across the following species which are not recorded for 98 Ai'gyle 

 in either Watson's Topographical Botany or Mr. Arthur Bennett's 

 Supplement, and of which Mr. Bennett himself tells me that he has 

 no subsequent record. Hypericum pulchrum L. Frequent, and 

 ascending some way up the hill-sides. — Frunus avium L. Tay- 

 chreggan. — Centunculus minimus L. Glen Nant. — Tanacetum vul- 

 gare L. ? G-arden escape. — Myrrhis odorata Scop. Portsonachan. 

 h Garden escape. — ^'Mentha sativa'^ (aggr.). Kilchrenan. — Poly- 

 gonum Hydropiper L. Frequent about Kilchi-enan. — Potamogeton 

 pf^rfoliatus L. Loch Awe. Three other plants {Cardamine Jiexuosa 

 With., Juncus tenuis Willd., and Equisetum sylvaticum L.) were 

 also found which do not appear in either of the above works, but 

 %vhich Mr, Bennett informs me have been recorded elsewhere for the 

 county. Juncus tenuis was growing in good quantity by the road- 

 side in a wild glen a long way from any habitation. — L. V. Lester 

 Garland. 



Carex mOxVTana L. (p. 27-i). Since this was gathered by 

 Mr. written in May, 1842, in a heathy field, between Eridge and 

 Tunbridge Wells, whence I have a specimen, its habitats have been 

 greath^ increased, and it is now on record for 17 counties. Of these, 

 seven are recorded in Top. Botan}^ three in the Supplement, — these 

 with Brecon (Bot. Ex. Club Report for 1883) make the eleven in the 

 London Catalogue, ed. 10. Since then it is on record for : 2. Corn- 

 wall E., Curnow sp. ; 9. Dorset, E. F. Linton sp. ; 22. Berks, Rept. 

 Bot. Ex. Club, 1918, 102; 24 Bucks, Miss Armitage, Z. c." ; 

 41. Glamorgan, Miss Vachell sp. ; o7. Derby, Waterfall sp. Mr. 

 Thompson's interesting notice speaks of its early llowering ; in culti- 

 vation it flowers in Ajjril, before ericetorum, pi'cecoXf qy pilulifera. — 

 Arthur Bennett. 



Isoetes Hystrix Durieu in Cornwall. On June 19th last I 

 gathered this plant, hitherto unknown for England, at the Lizard, 

 growing with Trifolium strictum and T. Bocconii. I saw one 

 specimen only, but am convinced it is probabl}^ to be found in many 

 similar situations. The specimen is small and the pkint would be very 

 ditiicult to find unless especialh^ looked for, which I believe botanists 

 have not been in the habit of doing in this particular neighbourhood, — 

 Fred. Robinson. 



Vaccinium intermedium Ruthe, I am quoted (p, 285) as 

 having found this hybrid on Whitley Common. The site was on 

 Whitmore Common — about a mile N.E, of Whitmore Station 

 (L. & N,W. Ry.), and within two miles of Maer Woods — the date 

 being Aug, 23rd of this j'-ear. The plants, growing with the parents 

 and Empetrum nigrum, were in full flower and unusually fragrant, 

 in scent resembling hawthorn or meadow-sweet. — W. Balfour
