Erucastnim ohtusanguliim, Eeicli. '' At Wandsworth steamboat pier." 

 {H.B,P. 798.) A native of the South of Europe. 



Sinapis Schhuhriana, Eeich. " In 1861 I found a Sinapis growing on 

 the oldest part of the West Hartlepool ballast-hill, which I was unable to 

 determine. Mr. J. G. Baker, to whom I referred it, believes it to be the 

 above-named species. From its habitat, it has probably been established 

 at Hartlepool for some years." Bev. A. M. Norman, in Transactions of 

 Tyneside Naturalists* Field Cluh, v, 137. 



8. hispida, Schusb. '' At Wandsworth steamboat pier." H.B.P. 798. 



S. dissecta, Lag. " Abundant in 1855 on mud spread out on Battersea 

 Fields (Park), but where it has since disappeared." H.B.P. 704 " Plenti- 

 ful this year [185 G] both in Battersea Fields and at Wandsworth steam- 

 boat pier." Phtjt. i., 405. N.S. A native of the South of Europe. 



Since the above was written, I have received additional information 

 relating to some of the plants previously msntioned, and as, with one 

 exception, this refers only to the order Qruciferw, I have thought it better 

 to give it without further delay. 



P. 202. Dielytra formosa, B.C. Mr. W. Pvichardson, junr., has re- 

 cently informed me that it '' grows in profusion in Hulne Parks [Northum- 

 berland], and more sparingly at Eatcheugh Crag, in both j)laces near a 

 garden." 



P. 203. Lunaria rediviva, D.C. " A few examples" of this, or of I/. 

 biennis, " grew in September, 1864, in a narrow lane leading from St. 

 Leonard's church [Bridgenorth, Shropshire], to the river, by a path which 

 crosses the railway." Botanists' Chronicle, p. 103. 



P. 206. Barharea intermedia, Bor. Mr. J. Hardy, of Hulme, Man- 

 chester, has kindly given me much additional information regarding this 

 species, which I have his permission to publish. He writes as follows : — 

 *' The localities you give on the authority of Mr. Buxton and myself, read 

 as if different, but the fact is, they are one and the same ; the plant being 

 very common in cultivated fields throughout the entire Manchester district, 

 and more especially so on the south and south-west, wherever land is badly 

 farmed, or, as favouring its biennial character, in clover-fields. Bowden, 

 although seven miles from the centre of Manchester, is really very nearly 

 joined to it, and may be considered as in the same district. Now, with 

 respect to the recent introduction of the plant, I have found specimens in 

 every old collection of Manchester plants I have had an opportunity of
