REPORT OF THE LONDON BOTANICAL EXCHANGE 
CLUB FOR THE YEAR 1866. 
By the Curators. 
(Plate LXI.) 
[The Thirsk Natural History Society having been dissolved, the 
Botanical Exchange Club formerly connected with it is removed to 
London, the present Curators being J. G. Baker, Esq., and Dr. Henry 
Trim en.] 
The following Report consists of short notes on some of the plants 
which have passed through our hands in making the distribution of 
the past year, interesting either from their critical importance, or from 
having been found in districts additional to those registered in th 
e 
' Cybele Britannica ' and its Supplement. 
Ranunculus Baudotii, Godr. Mr. Webb sends this from Wallasey, 
Cheshire ; it is new to the Mersey sub-province. 
Papaver Lecoqii, Lamot. Mr. Syme sends specimens from near 
Rochester, Kent. 
Barbarea intermedia, Bor. Mr. Briggs contributes a specimen found 
at Egg Buckland, Devon, where, as usual, it grew in a clover field, and 
was probably sown with the crop. 
Poly gala ciliata, Lebel. The discoverer of this plant, Mr. Syme, 
sends a few specimens (as does also Mrs. Benson) from the Gogmago 
o* 
Hills, Cambridgeshire, its only British locality known. In the new edi- 
tion of c English Botany/ it stands as a variety of P. vulgaris,hom which 
it differs in its prostrate branches, in bearing stiff curled hairs on the pe- 
dicels and upper part of the stem, and more especially by the calyx- 
wings, bracts, crest of corolla, and capsules being minutely ciliate on 
their edges. It is also a more slender plant than P. vulgaris, thus 
approaching P. depressa. 
Hypericum unchdatum, Schousb. Mr. Briggs sends an example 
from Forth Curnow, near the Land's End, Cornwall. This is a more 
western station than any yet recorded. 
Melilotm arvensis, Willd. A specimen from Crab Tree, Devon, 
communicated by Mr. Briggs. New to Devon. Possibly sown with 
grass or other seed. 
Rosa inodora, Fries. It is desirable that the true Rosa inodora of
