Thymus Serpyllum and T. Chamnedrys. 
“Mr. Jorden’s remarks on these plants fully agree with my obser- 
vations, made this year. I gathered a few specimens of T. Chame- 
drys, for a friend, in October, when T. Serpyllum was, without excep- 
tion, past flowering.” —/d. 
Polygala oxyptera on the Sand-hills near Liverpool. 
“Tn the same locality, the sand-hills on this side the Mersey, I 
found several fine plants of Polygala oxyptera, fully agreeing with the 
description given by Mr. Babington in the ‘ Phytologist.” — Zd. 
Rosa villosa, Viola imberbis, and V. palustris near Liverpool. 
“ Rosa villosa, not mentioned in our Liverpool Flora, I have found 
in two or three places in the direction of Walton. There, also, I find 
the variety of Viola odorata, Viola imberbis of Leighton; and, in a 
boggy piece of ground in the same direction, Viola palustris.” —J/d. 
Hypnum nodifiorum, H. lycopodioides, and Bryum androgynum 
near Liverpool. 
“ The new, rare, and very pleasing addition to our British mosses, 
Hypnum nodiflorum, was found in June, this year, by Mr. Harrison, 
on the Crosby sand-hills. Here, also, in 1851, I found, for the first 
lime, growing in great profusion, H. lycopodioides, but was not 
acquainted with its correct name until this year. The little thread- 
moss (Bryum androgynum) I found, last year and this, growing very 
plentifully in a sandy lane at Walton, commencing behind the church.”

Filago spathulata in the Isle of Wight. 
“1 have quite lately been enabled to add Filago spathulata, Pres/, 
to the Isle of Wight Flora. I first gathered it in a turnip-field near 
Kingston ; and since that I have found it to be tolerably abundant in 
most of the sandy stubble-fields round Brixton and Lemerston.”—
