On the Locality for Typha minor in Kent. 

 By T. B. Flowek, Esq., F.L.S., &c. 



I OBSERVED, a few days since, while looking over the recent 

 edition of the ' British Flora,' by Sir. W. Hooker and Dr. Arnott, a 

 locality recorded for that rare plant Typha minor, on the authority of 

 Dr. Bromfield, in the following words : — " 1 have a distinct recollec- 

 tion of having seen specimens of this plant, some years ago, at the 

 Linnean Society, which the late Mr. David Don gathered somewhere, 

 I think, in Kent." Now I perfectly recollect this circumstance. In 

 October, 1839, my late lamented friend, Professor Don, showed me, 

 at the Linnean Society, specimens of what he considered to be Typha 

 minor, which had been collected in Kent, and being interested with 

 the discovery I made a note of it. Some time after, wishing to 

 obtain the exact locality, I called on the Professor, when he informed 

 me that he had changed his opinion, and that the plant could not be 

 considered anything more than a small form of Typha angustifolia. 

 I have therefore availed myself of the present opportunity of recording 

 the error in the pages of the ' Phytologist,' in the absence of Dr. 

 Bromfield, who, I believe, at the present time is not in this country, 

 and to whom the above statement may possibly be acceptable, and 

 not only to that gentleman, but to botanists generally.

Anemone rannnculoides. This very pretty Anemone is very com- 

 mon all along the banks of the Maladiere, on either side of the old 

 bridge, Canton de Vaud, Switzerland. 



Trollius europcBHS. I found a field covered with the yellow 

 flowers of this plant half way up the Mount Tour de Gourze, Canton 

 de Vaud, Switzerland, in the year 1843. 



Hellehorus foetidus. Common in all the hedges and banks around
