Philonotis fontana 'Brid. 8. This year I noticed male flowers 

 in three places in the marshy depression near Shalbourne New-

 delicate flowering P. ccBspitosa which soon withers up under the 

 sun's rays, the more robust P. fontanel lasting much longer. — 

 P. calcarea var. leixa Dismier. I recently saw this plant % the 

 side of the Kennet and Avon Canal near Wootton Elvers, about 

 six miles along the Canal from Great Bedwyn : this is an 

 extension of its range westwards.
