19. F. loliacca [F. pratensin, B. loliacea). Damp meadow at 

 Shuiclington. 



20. Brachy podium sylvaticum, Beaiivois. Doubtless accidentally 

 omitted by Mr. Buckraan. 



21 . Brachypodium piimatum, Beauv. Plentiful in the hilly meadows 

 bordering the Charlton Hill road. 



Corrigenda. 



Fedia carinaia, Stev. is certainly not common all over the Cotswolds, 

 in cultivated fields (Flora, p. 11.), though Fedia dentata is, indeed 

 more so than F. olitoria. 



Thlaspi perfoUatum, L. is, I am sorry to say, not now to be found 

 either at Hartford Bridge or the quarries near Naunton Seven Springs, 

 or Wells, as they are indifferently called. 



Phleum Bcehmeri, L. is certainly not to be found near Cheltenham. 



Phleum asperum is not to be found either at Marl Hill or Bays 

 Hill, the localities indicated for it and P. Boehmeri, by Mr. Buckman. 



Cerastium arvense, L. is mentioned in conjunction with C. vulgatum 

 and C. viscosum, as common in similiar localities with those two very 

 abundant plants. C. arvense is, however, rare in the vicinity of 

 Cheltenham, and I know of but one locality for it, viz., the hedgebank 

 bordering the Stow road, about ten miles from Cheltenham, left hand 

 side going to Stow. 



The Canadian Symphoria racemosa (Xylosteura tataricura, Pursit), 

 is rapidly becoming naturalized in this neighbourhood, thriving 

 prodigiously where employed as a fence, as has been the case in 

 several instances.

Occurrence of Rare Plants near Jedburgh. 

 By Archibald Jerdon, Esq. 



I have lately found two or three rather rare plants, a short notice 

 of which may not be unacceptable to the readers of the ' Phytologist.' 



About the middle of April I discovered two patches of the yellow 

 star of Bethlehem [Onithogaliim luteum) by the side of the Jed, near 

 the old castle of Ferniherst, about two miles from Jedburgh. It was 

 growing around the roots of trees, and consequently in a shady situa- 

 tion. The soil is somewhat sandy.
