Cardamine amara. A solitary plant of this was found on the banks of the 
river at Bredwardine Bridge in 1869. This is the sole notice of its occurrence 
in the county; and the explanation was given that it had been carried down by 
the river from its higher districts where it might occur more plentifully. But 
does the plant occur anywhere on the Wye or its tributaries? I have never met 
with it myself in any part of the Wye valley ; nor have I ever heard of its being 
found in the upper parts of the Wye in Radnorshire or Breconshire. 
Viola lutea. Duncomb’s list gives this as a Herefordshire plant; but no 
modern observer seems to have found it within the limits of the county. I cannot 
give up the belief that it really is a Herefordshire plant; for the districts at the 
head of the Crasswall and Dore valleys furnish a large expanse of suitable ground 
for its growth; and I have myself found it within a mile or two of the county 
boundary on the northern spurs of the Black Mountain: moreover there is a scrap 
under this name in the collection of the late Mr. Davies, and labelled ‘‘ Black 
Mountain, Llanthony.” Whether picked within our district Iam unable to say. 
Stellaria nemorum. Sir G. Cornewall has furnished me with a specimen of 
this from the side of the Wye above Moccas, which I have reason to believe is 
rightly named. It was found by him in 1862; and as far as I know has not been 
found since. It is very desirable that the plant should be rediscovered, and some- 
thing more exact known with regard to its nativity. May it have been a Welsh 
plant brought down, as in other instances, by the river, from its native Radnor- 
shire haunts ? 
Callitriche autumnalis. This has been reported from three spots in the west 
of the county ; but I have not been able to obtain specimens; and it is impossible 
to assign it a place in our flora without the examination of specimens in good 
fruit. 
Myriophyllum verticillatum. This Water-milfoil is plentiful in the canal 
near Hereford: but two other old localities are recorded for it: one the river 
Lugg; the other the river Wye between Bredwardine and Moccas. It is the 
object of the present note to ask for further observations confirmatory of these 
two. Could it have been mistaken in the last locality for the alterniforwm which 
inhabits this part of the Wye. 
Sedum Telephium. This is a very doubtful Native in Herefordshire. It is 
reported from the border of Lord’s Wood, Great Doward, by Mr. Purchas, who, 
however, seems to suspect that it may have been the remains of cultivation. The 
same authority states that he once found a specimen in the middle of the Chase 
Wood, Ross. Mr. Crouch reports it from Pembridge. I have never seen it with 
any pretensions of being ‘‘ wild” in Herefordshire. 
Lactuca virosa. Two stations are given for this: one a long known one on 
the Little Doward, where it is undoubtedly wild, and exists still in small quanti- 
ties. The other, a hedge bank between Hereford and Holmer—an old record on 
the authority of Mr. Purchas. Was it a native plant there, and is it still to be 
found? 
Salvia Verbenaca. I fear there is no evidence of this being more than an 
Outcast in our county. A single plant on Howle hill, and another at the ‘‘ Bar-
