Botanical Notes. — It may be interesting to botanists, who have not 

 yet observed it, to know that the Meadow Saxifrage (Saxifraga granulata ) 

 is growing luxuriantly in Sutton Park this season. This is an introduced 

 plant, and has not, I believe, been reported from that place before. The 

 Lady's Mantle (Alchemilla vulgaris) is also growing on a piece of meadow 

 land in the Park. Mr. J. E. Bagnall, in his notes on Sutton Park, says 

 that he has not seen it there since 1869, when it was growing near 

 Keeper's Pool.— B. T.. .3irmingham.
