Lathyrus hirsnkis.—Bah. Supp. p. 75. Inserted by error in the 



Flora Bathoniensis, as well as in many of the British 



Floras, as regards the Pcnsford locality, the Ficia 



hUhynica having apparently been mistaken for it. The 



true Lathyrus hirsutus is not known to grow anywhere in 



this country except in Essex. 



I, latifolm.—A mistake. See Babb. Supp., p. 75. 



Z. 2^aZws<ri5.— Bab., p. 14. Said to have been found by Dr. 



Davies "in moist hedges about Smallcombe Wood." 



Either a mistake or nov/ lost by drainage. 

 acuta w-osa.— Bab., p. 21. "A single plant only observed in the 



Canal, by Dr. Heneage Gibbs. Has long smce 



disappeared." T. B. Flower. 

 Senecio sylvatkus.—Bah., p. 21. Said in the Fl. Bathon., to be 



"frequent on dry banks and pastures," but neither Mr. 



Broome, nor Mr. Flower, nor myself ever met with it. It 



grows at Hanham, but must be considered a very doubtful 



native of the Bath district. 

 Cardtius temiiflorus.—B&b., p. 27. Said to have been found on 



the "banks of the Canal" by Dr. Davies; but Mr. 



Flower remarks that Dr. Davies, a few years since, could 



<Tive him no information about this species, and he 



considers it as " probably an error." 

 Geniiana campestris.—Bah. Supp., p. 83. Dr. R. C. Alexander, 



on whose authority this species rests, informs Mr. Flower, 



the plant in question should be referred to the G. 



amarella. The G. caminstris must therefore be erased 



from the Bath Flora. 

 Aspenigo procumbens.—B?kh., p. 33— " The locality for this rare 



species rests on the authority of Mr. Hill, in Blackst. Sp. 



Bot. p. 5. It is possible he meant Lycopsis arvensis, which 



was occasionally mistaken for it by the older Botanists."
