Eaely Names of Plants. 



Good old Izaak Walton gives the name of a plant called Benione, which 

 he says drives away otters. What is this plant ? 



1 find in Gerarde that one of the names of Columbine is Calvenoort ; but 

 this does not prove that Culverkey is the Columbine. I do not know if 

 any of the wild Columbines is of an azure colour. 



Phleum asperum. 



Would any contributor to the pages of the ' Phytologist' give the re- 

 quired direction to the locality for Phleum asperum, L., at Kingsweston, 

 near Bristol? A resident Botanist at Clifton.
