Mr. Cort exhibited specimens of Hymenophyllum Tunbridgense, 
and some specimens of pennywort, or Cotyledon. The plant, how- 
ever, not being fully in flower, its further consideration was adjourned 
to the next meeting. 
The Secretary read a communication from Mr. Gissing, of the pro- 
ceedings of the Worcester Branch of the Phytological Club. 
The Rev. J. H. Thomson, Honorary Member of this Branch, had 
discovered another undoubtedly wild habitat for Galanthus nivalis at 
Breedon, in Worcestershire, as well as a genuine habitat for the 
Daphne Mezereum. The early season, although warm, had been very 
dry, and had produced very few spring flowers. The hawthorn has 
been in blossom so early as the 14th of April. 
Edwin Lees, Esq., F.L.S., Honorary Member of the Club, had 
delivered a lecture on ‘ The Geography of Plants,’ to the Members of 
the Worcester Branch, at which there was a large attendance. (See 
_ Phytol. v. 139) 
The Meeting was then adjourned to Wednesday, June 14.

One Hundred and Fifty-eighth Sitting. — Saturday, June 24, 
1854.—Mr. Newmay, President, in the chair. 
The President read the following communications :— 
Carex Davalliana, Sm., near Bath. 
“In reply to several communications recently received respecting 
C. Davalliana near Bath, I can only state that my late friend, Mr. 
Edward Foster, informed me, shortly before his death, that the plant 
had long since been lost by drainage, when the Lansdown property 
came into the possession of the late William Beckford, Esq , of Font- 
hill. I visited the locality in the summer of 1852, and found all 
traces of it destroyed..—T. B. Flower; Seend, near Melksham, 
May, 1854. 
Draba muralis, Linn., near Bristol. 
“JT have recently seen this plant growing at Henbury, near Bristol, 
where it has been observed for many years past by Miss Powell, who 
kindly conducted me to the spot; not having been recorded before, 
induces me to note the circumstance.”—Id.
