400 SHORT NOTES. 



Koch's Sy7H>psis, 251, and that MM. Rouy & Foucaucl, in their 

 recently published work, follow M. Corbiere in reducing ciJuda to a 

 variety of P. dmiense Dumortier. Since writing the above, I have 

 received the following from Prof. Chodat, who has kindly examined 

 the plant : — "This is a form of Pvlyyala ciliata a,i\ct. {P. vuh/aris 

 var. intermedia y. ciliata mihi). The true P. ciliata Lebel has much 

 broader wings and more slender shoots, but some forms, as the P. 

 clunensis Dum. and P. dunensis Corbiere, agree in all parts with 

 your plant. The characters, however, shown by these varieties 

 are but slight, and due only to the station ; so you may call 

 your plant, if you will hold P. ciliata as a species, P. ciliata 

 Leb. var. dunensis (Dum.). For me this plant is only one of the 

 numerous varieties of P. vnhjaris ; its name would be P. vuhjaris 

 var. intermedia y. ciliata, forma alls + acutis, caulibus minus tenui- 

 oribus etc. (vide Monoyr. Pulyg. 452, § 2 (tab. xxxiii. fig. 4) )." — 

 E. Gr. Baker. 



Euphrasia Kerneri Wettstein (p. 370). — This variety or sub- 

 species of E. oj/icinalis was plentiful at Chelsham, near Croydon 

 (Surrey), in 1880. In 1894 Mr. F. Townsend wrote me, "It is a 

 remarkable one, and, if constant, may deserve a varietal name." 

 I found just the same plant on Buckland Hill, near Eeigate, in 

 1873, and beheve I saw it some years ago on Box Hill, but I have 

 no specimens to confirm it. — Arthur Bennett. 



Middlesex Mosses. — The following mosses, not hitherto 

 recorded for Middlesex, supplement the lists already given in 

 this Journal for 1894, pp. 106, 369 : — Gywnostomum rupestre Schw. 

 Near Harefield. — Pottia lanceolata Rohl. Above chalk cliffs, 

 Harefield. — Barhula suhulata var. anyustata = B. anyustata Wils. 

 Braithwaite. Near Garret Wood. — Bryum bimum var. cuspidatuin 

 — B. ajjlne Bruch, Braithwaite. Canal wall between Denham and 

 "moor" locks. — Scleropodiiim ca;spitosii))i Wils. Side of brook, 

 Swakeleys, Uxbridge. — EurhyncJdtnn crassinerriuvi Tayl. Old chalk 

 pit, Harefield Park. These few additions would appear to exhaust 

 the list for this section of the county. — John Benbow. 



Bucks Plants. — Pinyuicula vnlyaris grows sparingly on a 

 marshy spot near Burnham Beeches. The plants on this limited 

 area are so few that I refrain from indicating the exact locality. 

 The Utricidaria intermedia of Dr. de Crespigny's New London Flora, 

 from "ponds, Burnham Beeches," is U. vulyaris. — John Benbow. 



MoNESEs GRANDiFLORA IN Argyle. — Sir Joliu Campbell-Orde, 

 Bart., recently showed me this plant growing on his estate near 

 Lochgilphead, and assured mo that it was not an introduction. 

 This appears to be the first certain station for it in western Scot- 

 land. Lactuca muralis occurs there in considerable quantity ; 

 I understand that Mr. P. Ewing has already recorded it for v.-c. 

 98. — Edward S. Marshall.
