45. Drosera rotundifolia, ^. ramosa, ( Phyt. p. 23 ). This pretty variety grows in 

 great plenty, together with the usual state of the plant, on Carrington Moss, Cheshire, 

 seven miles south of Manchester. The same individual often bears simple and com- 

 pound racemes, as mentioned by Mr. Leighton. There does not appear to be any 

 difference sufficient to fonn a specific distinction. All three species of Drosera grow 

 within seven miles of Manchester ; D. longifolia being found on Baguley Moor, and 

 D. Anglica abundantly in various localities. — Leopold H. Grindon ; 4, Portland Street, 

 Manchester, Septemher 15, 1841. 



46. Orohanche barbata, (p. 29). This species is found upon St. Vincent's Rocks, 

 near Bristol, where I had opportunities for examining it several years in succession. 

 It grows chiefly upon the ledge under the suspension bridge, and is always parasitic 

 upon ivy. The O. minor, which I consider perfectly distinct, I have gathered in clo- 

 ver fields, between Clevedon and Walton, Somersetshire, twelve miles S.W. of Bristol. 

 It also springs up occasionally on a steep grassy bank overhanging the sea, growing 

 intennixed with Anthyllis vulneraria, Chlora perfoliata. Orchis pyramidalis, &c., and 

 exposed to the spray of every tide. — Id. 



47. Tilia, (p. 44). I think it is in the ' Mag. Nat. Hist.' that there are some re- 

 marks by Mr. Edwin Lees on the legitimate claim of the lime-tree to be considered 

 British. Worcestershire and Herefordshire are the counties named as those wherein 

 it is found most truly wild. I can add Leigh Woods, Somersetshire, to the list of lo- 

 calities. On the craggy precipitous sides of Nightingale Valley are several fine spe- 

 cimens, with every circumstance in their favour as being of spontaneous growth. I 

 should like to see an article in ' The Phytologist ' on the right of this tree to be reck- 

 oned an " anchent Briton." — Id. 



48. Lycopodium. Anything in reference to this genus will be interesting, I pre- 

 sume. Four of the six species grow near Manchester, but neither of them in any 

 quantity. On a wild desolate moor called Fo-edge, about fifteen miles north, L. cla- 

 vatum, Selago and alpinum are found within a few yards of each other, together 

 with a vast profusion of Allosorus crispus, which flourishes there in extraordinary 

 beauty. L. inundatum is plentiful on Baguley Moor, a spot of much celebrity 

 among Manchester botanists. In addition to the three Droseras, the following plants 

 are produced there : — 



Veronica scutellata Eleogiton fluitans Radiola Millegrana 



Eleocharis ca;spitosa Eriophorum angustifoliuni Anagallis tenella
