Senecio viscosus, Linn. Railway banks, near Frant station. Not 
previously recorded from Sussex, but the locality, “railway banks,” 
dieates its being an introduced plant. 
Andromeda polifolia, Linn., var. curta, Tate. Coombes Moss, Derby ; 
Rev. Augustin Ley. In the ‘Journal of Botany,’ for 1866, p. 377, 
Mr. Ralph Tate called attention to a variety of Andromeda polifolia, 
with the pedicels about as long as the flowers, for which he proposed the 
name 4. curta. At the time when I wrote the description of 4. poli- 
Jolia for the third edition of * English Botany,’ all the specimens 1 had 
seen had the pedicels twice or thrice as long as the flowers, and I sup- 
posed that the plate in * English Botany,' in which they were repre- 
sented, as only equalling the flowers, had been drawn from a speci- 
men in bud,—the buds in Æ. polifolia appearing of a large size long 
before the flowers are open, and then having short pedicels. The 
Rev. A. Ley, however, has sent specimens of 4. polifolia with the 
flowers fully expanded, in many of which the pedicels are only as long 
as the flowers, and in none more than twice as long, so that in this 
plant the pedicels really vary from the length of the flowers to thrice 
their length. In no other particular, however, do the short-pediceled 
plants differ from those which have long pedicels. 
Gentiana Pneumonanthe, Linn. “On the heath, eastward from the 
paling of Woking Cemetery, Surrey; a locality not recorded in the 
* Flora of Surrey,’ but within very few miles from that of * Whitmoor 
Common, Worplesdon,’ given in the Flora."—H. C. Watson. 
Linaria vulgari-repens, E. B., ed. 3. West Cowes, Isle of Wight;

tioned in * English Botany,' ed. 3, vol. vi. p. 143
