368 BOTANICAL NOTES, NOTICES, AND QUERIES. 
Fumaria confusa, Jord.—With reference to your inquiry relative to this 
plant (p. 148), it has no stronger claim to be accounted British than as a 
ballast introduction. It was first noticed by myself, in 1852, in the vi- 
cinity of Middlesborough, on the Yorkshire side of the Tees, and it has 
since been found by other botanists who have visited the locality. At 
first we passed it over as a form of 2. capreolata, from which it may be 
known by its smaller and rounder sepals. By Grenier and Godron it is 
included under their 7. muralis. F. Bastardi of Boreau (‘ Flore de la 
Centre,’ etc., 2nd edit.) is either the same species or variety or includes it. 
T have no duplicate examples just at present. J. G. BAKER.

Sedum sexangulare, Note on, (see ‘ Phytologist,’ pp. 260-261, N.S.)— 
We once collected on the rocks between Malham Cove and Gordale what we 
rather wished than thought was the plant above named. It has been said 
that the acridity of Sedum acre will always distinguish 7 from Sedum sea- 
angulare. We think that it sometimes, especially in elevated situations, 
loses this characteristic. We were satisfied that our specimen, from near 
Malham Cove, was not S. sexangulare, especially after comparing it with a 
cultivated specimen of the latter-mentioned species. 

NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
« H. B.,” Cranbrook, is very respectfully informed that the Grass which 
grows in his garden, and which is used by the country people in the ma- 
nufacture of baskets, etc., cannot be satisfactorily identified from the spe- 
cimen so kindly sent. If “ H. B.” will oblige us with a living specimen 
of the Grass in question, we will endeavour to make out its name.—Since 
the above was set up we have received the Grass in question, for which we 
tender our respected Correspondent “ H. B.” our grateful thanks. 
We beg to thank our Reverend Correspondent of Wells, Somerset, for a 
good plant of the Cheddar Pink. It arrived safely, is planted, and is 
likely to do well. 
Our thanks are also due to the Hon. W. F. Strangways for fresh spe- 
cimens of the Dorsetshire Pulmonaria angustifolia.
