i LisboD a living visit was made to the university town 

 of Coimbra, and to Bussaco, famous not only for the engagement 

 in the Peninsular War, but also for its woods, and especially the 

 fine specimens of the " Goa cedar," which, however, is neither a 

 cedar nor from Goa, but a handsome, somewhat flat-topped species 

 of cypress (Gupressus lusitanica Mill.) of Mexican origin in spite 

 of its name. A short excursion was also made from Coimbra to 

 Lou/ii, where the dry hillsides and a fine ravine yielded a few 

 interesting plants. Among the fresh plants seen were : —

NOTES ON JEESEY PLANTS. 

 By C. E. Salmon, F.L.S. 



In April, 1910, I had a week's botanizing in Jersey with Mr. 

 J. \Y. White, and we were joined on one or two excursions by 

 Mr. G. C. Druce. I should mention, too, that, thanks to Mr. L. V. 

 Lester-Garland we saw several interesting plants we should other- 

 wise have missed. 



A good deal oi attention was given to the Cerastia of the 

 sandhills, and some time lias been spent in working them out ; of 

 more interest, perhaps, was the discovery of a grass new to the 

 Channel Islands and to Britain — Poa exilis Murb.— and it is pro- 

 posed shortly to figure and describe it in this Journal. 



A visit to the late Mr. J. Piquet elicited the information that 

 lie had planted Allium sphccrocephalum at St. Ouen's Bay, as he 

 considered the well-known station in St. Aubin's Bay doomed by 

 building.
