Geranium Bobertianum L. var. *modestum (Jord.). A pretty 

 form, found on walls near Cobden's Hotel, Capel Curig, seems to 

 come under this : petals small, their blade about as long as the 

 claw ; sepals glabrescent, sometimes with a few sessile or shortly 

 stalked glands (colour of anthers not noted, but probably purplish). 



Bubus lentiginosus Lees (cambricus Focke). Gathered in good 

 quantity by S. H. B. at Capel Curig, its original station. 



AJchemilla vulgaris L. The handsome plant of the cliffs near 

 Twll Du is confirmed by Mr. Linton as A. alpestris Schmidt, 

 which probably represents the Linnean type. 



Bosa agrestis Savi (sepium Thuill.), var. One very dwarf, 

 browsed bush, by the road round the Great Orme's Head, near 

 Gogarth. Flowers small, white ; fruit globose ; leaves with 

 appressed hairs on the upper surface, densely hairy and glandular 

 beneath, with extremely fine, acute, compound, forward-pointing 

 teeth. Perhaps a new British form. 



Pyrus Aria Ehrh. All the Great Orme's Head trees or bushes 

 which we saw appeared to be Syme's subspecies P. rupicola = 

 Sorbus salicifolia ; Mr. Griffith only cites this as growing at 

 Bangor. 



Cotoneaster integerrima Medic. A new station was found in a 

 limestone "pavement " not far from the Great Orme Lighthouse, 

 where two or three very small specimens occurred. It has been 

 suggested (we believe by Mr. F. N. Williams) that this rarity may 

 not be indigenous, but bird-sown from gardens at Llandudno ; 

 but it was far more plentiful forty-five years ago, when the place 

 was a mere fishing village ; and S. H. B. knows that such bushes 

 as now occur in the town and cliff gardens were imported from 

 the cliffs or rocks. The existence of such native outliers is hard 

 to account for, but cannot be explained away on a priori grounds. 



Saxifraga hypnoides L. In Cwm Idwal grow various inter- 

 mediates, apparently hybrids and mongrels, between this and a 

 very pretty, subglabrous, vivid green form or variety of S. 

 sponhemica. 



Drosera longifolia L. {intermedia Drev. & Hayne). In a bog 

 near the head of Llyn Crafnant, very local ; boggy meadow, Capel 

 Curig. 



Epilobium obscurum Schreb. Though classed as " rather 

 rare " in the Flora, this is frequent about Capel Curig, and 

 doubtless elsewhere in the county. — E. obscurum x palustre. 

 Boggy meadow, Capel Curig. — E. alsinefolium Vill. Cwm Idwal, 

 at 2000 ft. 



Hieracium Schmidtii Tausch. A peculiar form, with yellow 

 styles and rather floccose heads, is referred to this by Mr. Linton ; 

 it grew sparingly beyond Ogwen Cottage, on rocks near the 

 bridge, above the Falls of the Ogwen. Mr. Griffith notes that the 

 Cwm Idwal form, which we failed to see, has livid styles ; but 

 the species is variable in this respect. — H. argenteum Fr. A few 

 stylose specimens were gathered in Cwm Ffynnon Lloer, at 

 2000 ft. ; it is typical in Cwn Tryfan, and on the bridge near 

 Ogwen Cottage. — II. Sommerfeltii Lindeb. A beautiful form of
