BOTANICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. 



February 6, 1846.— Edward Doubleday, Esq., V.P., F.L.S., in the 

 chair. Donations to the Library were announced from the DubUn 

 Natural History Society, the Liverpool Literary and Philosophical 

 Society and Dr. Martius. British plants had been received from Pro- 

 fessor Balfour, Mr. R. Embleton, and Mr. J. T. Mackay ; and foreign 

 plants from Mr. T. C. Hunt and Dr. Dicliinson. 



The following plants were exhibited : — 



Vaccinium macrocarpum, (Ait.). Discovered by Dr. Bidwell, in 

 Soughton Bog, near Mold, Flintshire, in August, 1845, (see Phytol. ii. 

 441). 



Cerastium strictum, (Linn.). Discovered by Mr. Andrews on Great 

 Arran Isle, Galway, Ireland, in August, 1845, (see Phytol. ii. 441). 



Poa Balfourii, (Parn.). Collected on Ben Voirlich, near the head 

 of Loch Lomond, Scotland, by Professor Balfour. 



Cerastium holosteoides, (Fries). Collected by John Storey, Esq., 

 on the banks of the Tyne, N.B. This example has the glabrous sur- 

 face of C. holosteoides ; but scarcely differs from C. triviale in the 

 character of its inflorescence : it is thus a connecting link between 

 them. 



Trifolium Bocconi and Molineerii, and " Orohanche amethystea? " 

 Collected by the Rev. W. S, Hore, as recorded in the ^ Phytologist ' 

 for August, 1845, (see Phytol. ii. 235). 



Primula veris and varieties. A series of fourteen specimens, 

 to show the transition from P. veris to P. vulgaris ; being some of the 

 plants raised from the seeds of P. vulgaris, var. intermedia, as re- 

 corded by Mr. Hewett Watson, in the ' Phytologist ' for July last (see 

 Phytol. ii. 217). 



Read, " An Outline of the Flora of the Neighbourhood of Godal- 

 ming, in the County of Surrey, with brief Notices of the Geological 

 Features and general Aspect of the District," by J. D. Salmon, Esq., 

 Corresponding Member of the Society, (Phytol. ii. 447). — G. E. D.
