GOWERNS. It would be interesting to know 
the extent to which this name (evidently a cor- 
ruption of Gowan) or anything like it is used in 
Somerset for the Daisy, Bellis perennis. I have 
the name only from a school-girl at Long Sutton, 
who has evidently heard it used in that district, 
but I imagine it is not frequently used, as a 
number of other correspondents in the same 
village do not give it.

Apple-tree, Pyrus malus.

Cowan, F.L.S., tells me that this old name for the 
St. John’s Wort is common in many places, and
