SHORT NOTES. 



401 



Parnassia palustris it is stated " has not been recorded in the 

 county for forty years." I first saw it on Chippenham Fen in 

 1890 ; it is still plentiful there, and is spread over a considerable 

 area. Two other plants, Chnisanthemum segetum and Allium ursinum, 

 are not so rare as would be imagined from Mr. West's notes ; the 

 former I have seen brought in large bunches by children from corn- 

 fields at Histon for sale in the town, and the latter, though very 

 local, is so abundant in one part of Hardwick Wood — apparently an 

 unknown locality for it — that the plants certainly number many 

 thousands. — Gr. Goode. 



LopHocoLEA spicATA Tayl. IN Scotland. — Mr. Symers M. Mac- 

 vicar has sent me for confirmation specimens of this rare species, 

 collected by him in shallow narrow crevices of rock just above high- 

 water mark at Moidart, West Inverness. First record for Scotland. 

 — W. H. Pearson. 



Lancashire and Cheshire Rubi. — Having collected a number of 

 the Rubi of this district at the request of the Rev. W. Moyle Rogers, 

 who kindly undertook to name them for me, I am able to give the 

 following list of localities additional to those already published. 

 New county records are indicated by an asterisk. Mr. Wilson, of 

 Ilkley, obliged me with a number of West Lancashire specimens 

 which he had collected this year ; these are distinguished by (W) 

 following the locality. All the specimens have been seen by Mr. 

 Rogers, except those marked f : —
