The readers of the ' Phytologist/ through the Editor, off^r 

 their thanks to the unknown correspondent who has kindly- 

 sent to us the above-named publication. 



The anniversary address by the President, the Eev. W. S. 

 Symonds, F.G.S., reviews the geological discoveries recently 

 made in the district. These, as being beyond our province, 

 require no further notice in the Journal of Botany. The bo- 

 tanical discoveries are neither few nor unimportant. New 

 localities are recorded for Echium vulgare, a rare plant in the 

 Malvern district ; also for Campanula latifolia, in Cowleigh 

 Park ; also Myosurus minimus, in a fallow jfield, at Powick, 

 near Ham Hill Cottage ; Narcissus biflorus, plentiful in a field 

 in the parish of Bromsberry (southern end of the Malvern 

 chain), — a rather wide definition of a botanical locale; " Gagea 

 lutea, Purlieu Lane, by the Rev. F. Dyson, and in a spot 

 nearer Brockhill by the Rev. Dr. Craddock, Principal of 

 Brazen-Nose College ; Ornithogalum nutans, in considerable 

 plenty at Bromsberrow; Anemone apennina, Tunnel Hill, near 

 Upton-on- Severn, determined by Mr. Lees, and judged an 

 escape from a garden by the same gentleman ; Lathyrus pa- 

 lustris, Lathyrus Aphaca, Pendock Keuper-quarry, western side 

 of Longdon Marsh. Mr. Watson has unaccountably omitted 

 it in his ' Cybele Britannica,' though confirmed by all the best 

 botanists of Worcestershire as a true native of the Severn val- 

 ley. Centaurea solstitialis, in a fallow field near Great Mal- 

 vern ; Quercus intermedia, var. variegata, on a syenitic mound 

 in Cowleigh Park. 'Those interested in the subject may be 

 glad to know that the Oak with Mistletoe upon it yet exists 

 near the middle lodge in Eastnor Park.' Epipogium aphyllum 

 is expected to reward the pains of some close-searcher. It has 

 not been observed since the period of its discovery (1854). 

 Polypodiwn Dryopteris, western declivity of the Worcestershire 

 Beacon."
