.v^ixiU'^s^ dVIrv Lothian has a good assortTneat of herbaceous plants. We 

 01 >i ;! should like to see a specimen of his Epilobium latifolium. 



We will gladly exchange seeds with Mr. Lothian, and have 

 iiHij >■ at present by us plenty of seed of Sonchus palustris, which is 

 trustworthy, for w^e have tried it. Also there is still some of 

 -hH. "' , Verba scum thapsifoi-mey which have also vegetated. 

 b&JoaiabfWthil© writing on this subject, it may be worth the/ trouble of 

 recommending to the trade several of the alpine species, collected 

 'jd+ 70 in the Pyrenees, and recently published in the ' Phytologist.' Ra- 

 :4Ro^ / monda pyrenaica is one of the rarest and handsomest of European 

 alpines. There are, besides this fine plant, many other orna- 

 mental species which grow on the Pyrenees, and several of them 

 would probably thrive in the British Isles. 



We procured for a correspondent the addresses of two botanists 



who supply specimens from that district, and who would probably 



\'i^'\ iifuriiish seeds lor iroots as a matter of business. Their names and 



lo lioii vadHresses will be '$6tt't' to aftYof'out coiresponden'tSy'^ii'djyplication
