BUPLEURUM ARISTATUM. 
It is stated in the Journal of Botany (Vol. V. p. 360) that B. aris- 
tatum is “only reported from Devon.” In the 5th and 6th editions 
of my Manual, I have recorded its discovery at Eastbourne, in Sussex, 
by my friend the Rev. E. A. Holmes, F.L.S. He only found a few 
very small specimens hiding themselves in the turf of the Downs at 
that place, and supplied my herbarium with some of them. Thus 
the plant is shown to occur elsewhere than at Torquay, and may be 
expected to be found on other parts of our south coast, if looked 
for with sufficient care. C. C. BaBINGTON. 
CORRESPONDENCE. 
A New British Fungus. 
It will, no doubt, be interesting to many to know that during a short excur- 
sion in Scotland, in August, 1866, I discovered Dothidea Pteridis,—a fungus, 
I believe, hitherto unrecorded in Britain. I found it at Targoyle, a few miles 
erness-shire. Any one wishing for specimens may have them by 
writing tome. [Previously recorded as British by Mr. Cooke, in his recently- 
published * Fern Book for Everybody.'— D.]
