Chrysosplenium oppositifolium grows on tlie banks of the Little 

 Avon at Dammary in V. 



Does so confirmedly paludal a plant as Hydrocotyle occur in 

 the county ? It is widely distributed throughout Britain. 



Pastinaca sativa is common in X in waste places, though 

 only recorded for about half of Mr. Watson's artificial 'counties' 

 of Britain. 



The Mistletoe, (Viscum album), so important an article of 

 ' export ' from the neighbouring counties of Hereford and 

 Worcester, is by no means absent from our county, though 

 most common in the Vale districts. I have noticed it on the 

 apple at Stonehouse, in IV, and it grows on a variety of stocks 

 at Birdlip in IX ; but the only piece I know of in X is on a 

 lime in Oakley Park. 



Adoxa Moschatellina, which occurs in eighty-four out of Mr. 

 Watson's 112 counties, I have not heard of in the county, 

 though it grows in hedge-banks in Oaksey meadows, Wilts, 

 between the main county-boundary and the outlying Gloucester- 

 shire parish of Minety. 



Dipsacus pilosus may be reckoned among our uncommon 

 species. Mr. S. F. Elton communicated a specimen to me from 

 Sapperton. 



To the same gentleman I am indebted for a specimen of 

 Scahiosa columbaria from the Cathedral Firs, Oakley Park. 



Petasites vulgaris occiirs on the banks of the Churn at 

 Perrott's Brook and Cirencester. 



Campanula glomerata, a lime-loving plant grows abundantly 

 by the side of the road from Cirencester to Barnsley. 



Do any heaths occur in the county ? 



Mr. Elton informs me that Monotropa Hypopitys occurs at 

 Eough-hills, Oakley Park. 



Erythrsea Centaurium, a plant growing on light soils, pascu al 

 ericetal, viatical or glareal, grows at Oakley Park and elsewhere 

 inX. 



Chlora perfoliata is abundant on Rodborough Common, in IX. 



Atropa Belladonna grows to a large size on Sapperton tunnel. 



Hyoscyamus niger occurs on rubbish at Pitacre Pits, Ciren- 

 cester and elsewhere.
