flowered G, Germanka every variation mny be traced from a barely- 
perceptible stalk to one half an inch in length. 
OrohancJie 7ninor. Sent from Mr. Embleton, from a clover-field 
near Warkworth, Xortliuraberland^ the examples gathered by Mr. John 
Chrisp. New to the Tyne province. 
Planlago TimbaU, Jordan. Sent by Mr. H. C. Watson, from 
Thames Ditton, Surreyj from amongst sown Clover. Probably not 
uncommon, but very easily passed over as ordinary P. lanceolata, 
Ntolinea intacta^ Eeich. fil. This is an Oi'chidaceons plant, which 
was added to the British flora by Miss F. M. More, who ga- 
thered it in May last at Castle Taylor, connty Galway, There is an 
account of it by Professor Reichenbach in the*January number of the 
' Journal of Botany/ accompanied by a coloured figure. Only some 
half-dozen specimens have yet been gathered^ It is not very closely 
allied to any previously-known British species, but was formerly re- 
ferred by Lindley to Aceras. It is a plant of Asia Minor, the Cana- 
ries, Northern Africa, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and the South 
of France, so that its discovery in Ireland is of great geographic inter- 
est ; and it is very remarkable that, as Mr. More informs us, it is ac- 
companied in Galway by a South European insect, AntJirocera Minos. 
Potamogeton JiUformis^ Nolte. Sent by Mr. A. G. More, fom Lough 
CuUen, County Mayo. Kew to Ireland, and the true plant apparently 
quite rare in Scotland.

Hunt, from the Bridgevvater Canal, near Eccles, Manchester, where it 
grows along with P. pectinafus. New to the Mersey province. 
P. nitens^ Weber. This also is a species new to Britain, which has 
been found by Dr. Moore in Ireland, and Mr. G. E. Hunt in Loch 
Ascog, in Bute. It has been fully described and figured in the * Jour- 
nal of Botany,' Plate XXXIII. Of the previously-known British spe- 
cies, it resembles P. heterovhyllns most, but may be readily known by 
its clasping and broader-based lower leaves and peduncles scarcely 
thickened at the apex. 
Zoatera nana. Both. Found by Jlr, A. G. More, in Dublin Bay.
