Some of these records are probably erroneous, one of the other 

 members of the order being mistaken for the true marsh mallow, 

 The Editor has searched the Barry localities often and always in vain. 

 Lavatera arborea occurred at Barry formerly and was either overlooked 

 or mistaken for this plant. Two localities only are kuown to me, 

 and in them the species is represented by one or two widely scattered 

 plants only, viz., Aberthaw ! and St. Athan ! Oxwich and Llan- 

 madoc. H. J. Riddelsdell in J. of B. Vol. 43, p. 92.
