In Dr. Bromfield's copy of the ' Phytologist,' at pp. 1000 and 

 1001 of vol. ii., those of the "desiderata" which he had in later 

 years ascertained to inhabit the country, or which had been re- 

 ported to him, are distinguished by being underlined. Among 

 the species thus marked occur the names of Nasturtium amphi- 

 hium, Sanguisorba officinalis, and Alchemilla vulgaris. The first, 

 being found in Devon and Sussex, is likely enough to have oc- 

 curred, and the other two are here mentioned to direct attention 

 to their possible existence in Hampshire.

LASTREA REMOTA, A NEW BRITISH EERN. 

 By Thomas Moore. 



It may be interesting to British botanists to learn that an-

 Windermere, by F. Clowes, Esq., and Mr. J. Hudhart ; and I am

The plant in question bears much resemblance to Lastrea 

 spinulosa in general appearance, and was, indeed, at first con-
