of the older trees being almost hidden by masses of 

 inflorescence. 



A variety or hybrid with lobed or pinnatifid leaves (placed 

 under P. scandica, Bab., in English Botany) grows 

 somewhere in Leigh Woods, and has been gathered on 

 several occasions ; but the station of the tree is not now 

 known. It was first recorded, in Sivete, FL, pp. 30 and 

 99, as P. intermedia, Ehrh., by Miss Atwood, from 

 whom probably Dr. Boswell-Syme had his specimens, 

 and was gathered also a few years ago by Mr. W. E. 

 Green. His specimen was exhibited at the Bristol 

 meeting of the British Association, and was then lost. 

 Mr. Green has failed to find his way to the tree a 

 second time, and repeated searches by other botanists 

 have not sufficed to rediscover it, Swete's additional 

 mention of ft p. pinnatifida, Ehrh., Leigh Woods, S., 

 frequent," must be an error. V.

G. Oldbury Court Wood. Mr. W. E. Green. Formerly 

 near Cook's Folly Wood (not on St. Vincent's Eocks), 

 now extinct. Mr. T. B. Flower. In the Stephens' 

 Herbarium there is a flowering specimen labelled 

 " Wood at Conham, near the old Spelter Works." No 

 date. This is probably the authority for the record 

 in Swete, EL, p. 30. 



S. Early in June, 1881, we discovered at least a dozen 

 small trees growing on exposed rocks near the river 

 under Leigh Woods. These had not flowered. Their 

 leaves differ in shape from those figured in English 

 Botany, being much narrower across from tip to tip of 

 the basal lobes.
