 Watson had some time ago withdrawn his application for one of the 

 Chairs in Ireland ; otherwise, there is reason to suppose he would 

 have been nominated by the Board of Queen's Colleges.

New Locality for Hypericum linariifolium. 

 By F. H. Goulding, Esq. 



Will you have the kindness to inform the members of the London 

 Botanical Society through the pages of the 'Phytologist' of another 

 habitat for Hypericum linariifolium ( Vahl) besides the one I commu- 

 nicated to them some time since, which was by the side of a hedge, 

 ascending a hill from Blakstone to Maristowe, near the river Tavy, 

 Devon ? It is now to be found plentifully about the Morwell Rocks, 

 river Tamar. I collected several specimens there yesterday, together 

 with Asplenium lanceolatum, and Orobanche major, and proceeded 

 to search for the Physospermum Cornubiense at the habitat men- 

 tioned in Booker's ' British Flora,' and communicated by the Rev. 

 W. S. Hore. It is now completely eradicated, the wood being meta- 

 morphosed into a corn-field.

Note on a few Rare Plants occurring at Kelvedon. 

 By E. G. Varenne, Esq. 



One evening dining the last month an agricultural acquaintance of 

 mine brought a plant from Salcot (a parish on the borders of the salt 

 marshes), which he said infested two or three places in one of his 

 fields, as bad as twitch. He seemed pleased with the idea that he 

 should succeed in grubbing it all up. The farm labourers informed 

 him that the weed had been growing in the field for many years past. 

 On examination the plant proved to be Lepidium Draba, Br., as de- 

 scribed by Hooker and Babington. 



Salcot is an Essex locality for several other of our rarer plants. 



Lepidium latifoliura covers the banks by the road-side, and grows 

 in the meadow land on both sides of the creek.
