Queries, etc. 



1. In the first place, our thanks are especially due to our valued corre- 

 spondent of 45, Frith Street, London, for one of the original specimens 

 of Cy perns fmcus, collected at Little Chelsea about forty years ago, with 

 Mr. A. Howarth's autograph ticket. The latter unfortunately does not 

 show the precise date of his discovery ; but as it (the plaut) appears in 

 Smith's ' English Flora ' (see vol. i. sub specie), and as the author refers to 

 SirW. Hooker's continuation of the ' Flora Londinensis,' the plant in ques-

 note has a copy of the last-named work, or can conveniently refer to it, we 

 hope he will be so good as to send us the precise period of this interesting 

 discovery. 



We hope to have the pleasure of an excursion to Llanwydyn, and to 

 gather the rare plants of Moel Cae and Hovvel, and of the great oak- 

 wood lying between them, when tlie days are long, viz. in the leafy month 

 of June, and when we have the daisy not alone, but hundreds of lovely 

 flowers and florets at our feet. 



2. To our esteemed friend of Perth, a hundred apologies are tendered, 

 and his many interesting papers we hope are destined to reappear in the 

 pages of the ' Phytologist ' before we are much older, and consequently 

 nearer our journey's end. 



The following is submitted, and we hope that its remedial qualities may 

 be as successfully exhibited in other cases as they were in the following : — 



Potentilla Tormentilla. 

 Having recently suffered severely from painful and protracted bowel 

 complaint, and used all the remedies prescribed by professional skill, with- 

 out deriving any benefit, I was advised by several friends (not medical) to 

 drink a decoction of Tormentil-root ; but as I am no friend to herb doc-
