Sir,—As I presume that you will commence a “ Record of Localities” 
in the ‘ Phytologist,’ I send the following, which I have noticed in 1855 : 
—Agrimonia odorata: in Glan Sannan, Caermarthenshire. Herniaria 
glabra: near Six-mile Bottom, Cambridgeshire. +Alyssum calycinum : 
near Six-mile Bottom, Cambridgeshire, but probably introduced with 
grass-seed. Bunium Bulbocastanum: behind the Temple at Wilbraham, 
Cambridgeshire. This extends its known range five miles towards the 
north-west. Yours obediently, CHARLES C. BABINGTON.

Sir,—You may like perhaps to insert amongst your Botanical Notices 
, that the grass Phalaris paradoxa, which I met with at Swanage, in Dor- 
_ setshire, in the year 1847, still maintains itself in the same spot in which 
I first observed it. I saw a considerable number of plants there this sum- 
mer, and as they seeded freely, this Grass, which does not I believe occur 
in any other part of Great Britain, may be expected to flourish for some 
vears to come. I had also the pleasure this year of seeing Simethis bicolor 
in full flower and pretty abundant, on the 6th of July, in the only English 
station in which it has been observed in My. Packe’s plantations near 
Bournemouth : a lovely plant when the flowers are expanded in the sun- 
shine, and well worthy of a special visit. I can send you a list of the 
rarer plants of the Heath district of Hants and Dorset, should you desire 
it. Very truly yours, JamMEs Hussey.

Some one asks in the July number of the ‘ Phytologist,’ p. 72, “Is 
Clematis Vitalba a Dorsetshire plant?” It is common in Purbeck, espe- 
cially about the stone-quarries near Swanage. 
[Our kind correspondent, Mr. Hussey, will perhaps have the goodness 
to give us some particulars about the Phalaris paradoxa. We have col- 
lected for some years a Phalaris, which is probably identical with the 
Bournemouth plant; but we have no hope of its permanence in the station 
observed by us.] 
Lycopodium Selago in Surrey.—Upon Hindhead Heath, about forty miles 
from London by the Portsmouth turnpike-road, anid about three or four 
hundred yards beyond that singular depression of the earth called the 
Devil’s Punch-bowl, stands a stone that marks the boundary of the 
parishes of Frensham and Thursley. Near this spot is an old road, pa- 
rallel with the turnpike-road and only a few yards from it, on the 14th 
of June last, I discovered Lycopodium Selago growing there; it grows 
very sparingly, and is not easily discovered, owing to the similarity of its 
appearance to Ulex nanus, which grows there in great abundance; it may’ 
perhaps be found in more plenty upon the higher part of the Heath, 
which, in its highest part, is eleven hundred feet of altitude, whilst the 
spot where I found it was about nine hundred. Can this be the station 
in Ray’s ‘ Synopsis,’ 3rd edit. p. 106: “In ericetis inter Godalmin et Wake- 
hurst comitatus Sussexie, D. Maningham’’? JoHN Luoyp.
