Ranunculus ? ii. 854. At tlie May meeting of tlie 



London Botanical Society, Mr. Watson exhibited specimens 

 of an aqnatic Ranunculus intermediate between R. aquatilis 

 and R. hederaceus; it stands as 12 d in the second edition 

 of the ' London Catalogue.' 



Trifolium strictum, ii. 908. This species, which as a British plant 

 was formerly confined to a single locality in the Channel 

 Islands, has been found in Cornwall, by the Rev. C. A. Johns, 

 on a sloping piece of ground near a cove called Cairn William 

 or Cathillian, between the Lizard Head and Kynance Cove. 



Carex montana, ii. 910. This extremely rare British species has 

 been found by Mr. Purchas, near Ross ; the only other record 

 of its occurrence in Britain is by Mr. Mitten (Phytol. ii. 289). 



Simethis bicolor, ii. 926. Miss Charlotte Wilkins found this 

 plant in a fir plantation, about two miles distant from 

 Bourne, in July last : it is the Simethis bicolor of Kunth, the 

 Anthericum bicolor of the ' Flora Atlantica,' and the Bulbine 

 planifolia of Bertolini's ' Flora Italica.' I observe the au- 

 thors of the ' London Catalogue ' give it as a true native. 



Allium sphcBrocephalum, ii. 922. Mr. H. O. Stephens has dis- 

 covered this species, previously known as a native of Jersey, 

 on St. Vincent's rocks, near Bristol. 



Malva veriicillata, ii. 934. Mr. James Motley has discovered 

 this addition to the British Flora in corn-fields, near Lanelly, 

 in Glamorganshire, in company with Malva crispa, which he 

 concludes had escaped from gardens. Mr. Motley (Phytol. 

 ii. 993) corrects a previous error, copied in the ' Phy tologist ' 

 from the ' London Journal of Botany,' that only a few speci- 

 mens were found : it appears to have been in abundance. 



Linaria supina, ii. 939. Mr. Keys states that this plant was 

 found on ballast-heaps, at Catdown, Plymouth ; it is therefore 

 a very questionable native of Britain : Mr. Keys however con- 

 siders it naturalized in this station : in the last Preface this 

 plant is noticed as having been introduced with "foreign 

 grain" — " with ballast" is the correct definition.
