 Faltield, G. The locality where this species occurs, an elevation of 

 the trap rock — a very rare formation in the district — is the only one 

 known to us in the Bristol Coal-field at which it can be regarded as 

 truly native. 



Rosa obtusi/oUa Desv. var. b. frondosa Baker. Hedge on the 

 Locking Road, Weston-super-Mare, S. ; one bush only seen. 



Sedum rupestre L. var. b. luinus Syme. Worle Hill, S. 



Hybrid Epilobia : — ■^'- Ejrilobium hirsutum x montanum. A garden 

 weed at Corstou, S. — '^'E. montanum x obscurum. Brislington, S. 

 — *£'. Lamyi x lanceolatum. Brislington, S. — '''E. Lannji x vwn- 

 tanwn. A garden weed at Corston, S. 



Eri/uffium cainpestre L. In N. Somerset. Some doubt having 

 been recently expressed as to whether this still exists at Weston- 

 super-Mare, it may be worth stating that we saw the plant in con- 

 siderable abundance there in July, 1896 ; certainly not at the spot 

 where it was first discovered, in 1843, by the late Mr. G. S. Gibson, 

 of Saffron Walden, Essex (judging from his note in Plujtol. 1st ser. 

 i. 757), but in another locality on the hill above the town. 



(Enanthe pimpinelloides L. Pastures at Compton Dando, S. 

 Though this occurs at several places in N. Somerset, it has not pre- 

 viously been found near Bristol. — (E. jiuviatilis Coleman. Abun- 

 dantly in the canal between Midford and Combehay, S. Not recorded 

 elsewhere for the Bristol Coal-field. 



Crepis biennis L. Abundantly in a field at Weston-super-Mare, S. 



Hieracium vah/atum Fr. var. maculatuia (Sm.). Plentifully on 

 colliery refuse at Camerton, S. — H. rigidum Hartm. var. b. jjm^ 

 latum Dahlst. Sparingly at Ebbor Eocks, near Wells, S. The 

 Rev. R. P. Murray, in his Elora of Somerset, records H. gothicum Fr. 

 for Ebbor, on the authority of specimens which were gathered by 

 the late Prof. Babingtou in 1851, and are now in Mr. F. J. Han- 

 bury's herbarium. The name "gothicum" for this plant has, 

 however, for some time past been regarded as doubtful ; but 

 Babiugton's specimens are in very bad condition, and insufficient 

 for satisfactory determination. We were therefore glad to be able 

 to send Mr. Hanbury specimens gathered at Ebbor last July, which 

 we supposed represented Babiugton's plant. These he considers 

 belong to H. rigidum var. b. pidlatwn ; an opinion iu which the Rev. 

 E, S. Marshall concurs.
