Hydrocharis Morsus-rancB L. Pond at Thurcaston, G. M., where 

 also Ibanitnculus Lingua is a conspicuous denizen, and a rare 

 hepatic, Bicciocarpus natans and var. terrestris, grows. This pond 

 was well known to the late Rev. T. A. Preston, rector of the parish 

 and the most ardent botanist Leicestershire has possessed. He 

 "certainly must have visited it yearly, and perhaps more frequently, 

 so that it is inconceivable that he should have missed it, as likewise 

 must the writer have done. Its discovery is due to the acumen of 

 a youthful botanist of promise, who has discovered many another 

 "good thing" during the past summer. Owing to the extra- 

 ordinary development of hibernacula the plant does not flower, 

 and it may be from this reason that it has been overlooked. It 

 is the most important discovery of late years in this county, for 

 the only other records are those of Pulteney, going back one 

 hundred and fifty years, and he merely records it "in ditches 

 communicating with the R. Soar." Its subsequent introduction 

 by Mr. J. F. Hollings to a pond at Aylestone is of no botanical 

 interest.
