I860.] ADDRESS OF THE EDITOR. 7 



neater foliage than this has. Has this plant been observed in 

 Scotland before ? Is it in Hooker's ' Flora Scotica' ? 



Potentilla tomentosum (?) (it looks more like Continental- 

 grown specimens, so called, than like P. recta, which has been 

 seen in the neighbourhood of London) has been already reported. 



Doronicwn Pardalianches and D. plant agineum have both been 

 reported, from Moncrieff, as of spontaneous growth, or per- 

 fectly naturalized, i.e. wild. A definite locality has also been 

 assigned for Cynoglossum sylvaticum, Linaria repens, Hellehorus 

 foetidus, etc., all previously obscurely indicated as growing in that 

 district. 



The range of the following must now be enlarged, viz. Stra- 

 tiotes aloides from 54° to 57°, consequently this is an addition 

 to the Scottish Flora. Also Hellehorus foetidus from 55° to 57°. 

 Lonicera Xylosteum from 51° to 57°, another addition to the 

 Flora Scotica. Cynoglossum sylvaticum from 53° to 57°. 



In a parcel of plants, for which the writer of this is indebted 

 to the curator of the Thirsk Natural History Association, there 

 was a specimen of Anchusa officinalis, collected not far from 

 Newcastle. An account of the locality and of the circumstances 

 under which this rare plant was found would be highly acceptable 

 to our readers. 



In the account of the Sydenham plants, Sedum albescens [S, 

 glaucum, Sm.) should have been entered as found on the same 

 part of the wall, and in juxtaposition with Sedum sexangulare, 

 at Lower Sydenham. 



The two British Elatines [E. hexandra and E. Hydropiper) 

 were reported by the secretary of the Birmingham, or Worces- 

 tershire, Natural History Society. These plants had been ob- 

 served several years ago, and were entered in the ' Phytologist,' 

 in an article called the " Flora of the Clent Hills." 



Hesperis matronalis is another of Mr. Sim's discoveries near 

 Perth. 



This, it will be admitted, is a very respectable catalogue of 

 novelties and discoveries for one year. 



A suggestion, made by one of our reverend contributors, to 

 the effect that a list of the names and addresses of botanists in 

 all parts of the kingdom would be very convenient both for cor- 

 responding and tour-going members of the fraternity, has been
