72 MEMORANDA OF PLANTS, ETC. 



nected closely with tins variety, but not according with 

 the too limited diagnoses originally published by Dr. 

 Johnston, I suppose in his "Berwick's Flora."* 



Myosotis repens, Don. Near Alwinton. 



Ju7icus diffusus, Hoppe. Near Alwinton. I also met with 

 this plant near Cramlington, a few weeks ago. I trust 

 to have an opportunity before long of more closely 

 watching the development of the ovules and seed of 

 J. diffusus, with a view definitely to ascertain whether 

 or not such are perfected, and become capable of ger- 

 mination. It seems always to occur as the halm of J. 

 communis (nearly), bearing the panicle of J. glaucus. 



Car ex prcecox, Jacq. Near Alwinton. Rather local, or in- 

 frequent about Newcastle. 



Finally, this list, the result of a hurried visit, may be but a 

 promise of yet more important discoveries in the same quarter.
