334 BOTANICAL NOTES, NOTICES, AND QUERIES. 
stations I am not responsible, having borrowed them from an anonymous 
list in ‘The Stranger’s Guide to Llandudno.’ I may mention here that had 
Messrs. Pamplin and Irvine halted on their recent trip into North Wales 
at Penmaenmawr, they would have found it well worth the ascent; I have 
gathered on the mountain and about its foot, with many less rare plants, 
Calluna vulgaris, with white flowers, Wahlenbergia hederacea, Hymeno- 
phyllum tunbridgense, and Lycopodium annotinum. The climb is certainly 
a very fatiguing one, but the view from the summit is very fine. (N.B.— 
Let no credulous botanist or tourist fail to take up some drinkable or other. 
The never-failing spring on the summit is all a myth, at least it failed us 
on a broiling August day, ergo experto credite !) The village at the foot is 
perfectly embowered in Hydrangeas of every hue; I never saw them in 
such perfection anywhere else. Penmaenmawr is very accessible from Llan- 
dudno by omnibus and yail, the whole distance being only some ten miles, - 
I think. Hue A. STOWELL.

Tragopogon pratensis —Three specimens gathered in this neighbourhood 
perhaps answer sufficiently well to the three varieties of this plant. In 
one gathered on the sea-wall by Faversham Creek, the involucre is often 
the same length as the florets: 7. pratensis, Linn. In another from a 
field on Scurtington Farm, Rodmersham, the involucre is about one-third 
longer than the florets: 7. major, Jacq. In the third from the roadside 
between Ovenscourt and Sellmg Church, the involucre is almost twice 
as long as the florets: 7. minor, Fries. HvASSs 
The following list of plants collected zz blossom on the 4th of January, 
1855, between Perry Wood and Faversham, a distance of four miles, is 
very remarkable. Will any of your correspondents favour us with its

Will any of your correspondents inform me why an ordinary linen-press 
should be unsuitable for pressing specimens for the Herbarium? ‘There 
must be some good reasons against its use, or so obvious a method would 
surely be employed ; yet I never met with it in books or in esis Ai
