Festuca syhatica, Vill. Sent by Mr. A. G. More, from Foxford, 
county Mayo. New to the west of Ireland, 
Polystichum LoncMtis, Roth. Both Mr. Embleton and Mr. Richard- 
son have sent specimens which unquestionably belong to this species, 
from a station in Northumberland, the exact locality of which it is not 
thought desirable to print, which is within 100 yards of the sea level. 
We are not aware of any other English locality which brings the species 
clearly within Mr. Watson's Midagrarian zone. That in the county of 
Durham is at least 300 yards higher. 
P, angiilare^ Newm. Mr. Richardson sends also a characteristic ex- 
ample of this, which was not previously known clearly as a plant of 
the Tyne province, from the Cauledge Woods, near Wooler, Northum- 
berland. 
Oj)7doglossum vidgatum^ L, Gathered by Mr. J. G. Baker last sum- 
mer, on the Hambleton plateau, N.E. Torksliire, at an elevation of fully 
350 yards above sea level, and in the Superagrarian zone. 
Eqtdsetiim trachyodon^ A. Br., var. Mr. A* G. More sends, from the 
banks of Lough CuUen, Mayo, a specimen of an Eqidsetum which differs 
from the typical trachyodon by its lower sheaths with weak green teeth. 
Chara alopecuroides^ Delile, Mr. A. G. More sends a supply of 
this very distinct species. He finds it only in brackish water in the 
saltworks of Newtown, Isle of Wight. This is also new to Britain, 
and was described and figured at Plate VII. of the * Journal of Botany,* 
but the drawing hardly does justice to the habit of growth of the plant, 
the spikes being much more bushy than they are represented.

shire plants gathered by Dr. St. Brody which we have looked through,
