entrance to Minehead Warren, 1910, as well as in Murray's 

 station. On the muddy shore of- an adjoining pond grew plenty 

 of C. ruhrum L. var. pseudohotryoides Wats. ; the type occurred 

 close by, 



Salicornia ramosissima Woods. 2. Minehead, towards Green- 

 aleigh. 9. In profusion near the ferry, Brean. — S. a'pi)ressa Dum. 

 2. Minehead, with ramosissima ; I also gathered several plants 

 which I strongly suspect to be hybrids between them. 



Polygonum Bistorta L. 4. Several plants were seen in flower, 

 last June, near the railway between Chard and Ilminster. 

 Bumex crispus x obtusifoUus {B. acutus L.). 9. Bleadon. 

 Daphne La^ireola L. 2. Between Stogumber and Crowcombe 

 Heathfield ; also very fine and plentiful on the steep wooded bank 

 below Stogumber Station. 3. One bush, roadside bank on Sid- 

 brook Hill, West Monkton. 



Vismim album L. 3. West Hatch. 5, 8. " Distribution inte- 

 resting ; e.g. absent around Bruton, except on river alluvium from 

 Castle Cary down to the levels," Moss. In the case of this tree- 

 parasite one would not expect soil to make much difference ; so 

 this may, perhaps, be merely accidental. 9. Flax Bourton, on 

 Bobinia, Moss. A favourite host-plant ; several of these trees are 

 full of Mistletoe at West Monkton, 



Mercui-ialis annua L. var. ■■'aynbigua (L, fil.), 2. Several fine 

 plants, growing with the type in waste ground near the sea, on the 

 Greenaleigh side of Minehead Pier, 1910. New for Somerset. 



Ulmus glabra Huds. {montana Stokes). 1. Woods about 

 Winsford ; apparently native. 



Carpimis Betulus L. 8. Old "double hedge "near Bruton. 

 10. Near Witham Friary ; local. Moss. 



Quercus sessiliflora Salisb. 2. Woods on Grabbist Hill, near 

 Minehead, Pugsley. 3. Eoadside hedge, Monkton Heathfield. 



Salix iriandra L. 4. Swamp at the south end of Chard Ee- 

 servoir ; perhaps planted, though it is associated with S. cinerea, 

 and looks wild enough, 



Elodea canadensis Michaux. 1. Pools in the Exe, about 

 Bridgetown and Winsford. 



Neottia Nidus-avis Kich, 8. Abundant under old beeches at 

 Alfred's Tower, Moss. 



Helleborine longifolia Eendle & Britten {Epipactis palustris 

 Crantz). 3. Eemarkably fine and locally abundant on Holme 

 Moor and Slape Moor, near Wiveliscombe. 



Orchis latifolia L. 2. Crowcombe ; Stogumber. 9. Between 

 Borrow and Brean. — -'0. latifolia x maculata. 2. On a clayey 

 common, about a mile north-east of Stogumber Station, with the 

 parents. 4. Near Chard Eeservoir. Both good intermediates. — 

 0. ericetorum Linton. 1. Exe valley, about Winsford and Exton. 

 2. Crowcombe Heathfield. — '•'0. ericetorum x latifolia. 2. Several 

 specimens were obtained in a moist upland pasture on clay, half a 

 mile north-east of Stogumber Station. Leaves, about half-way be- 

 tween the two, usually much blotched ; flowers much deeper in 

 colour (more purplish-red) than is ever the case in 0. ericetoru^n ;
