THE FLORA OF CORNWALL. 371 



records are wanting for the sister county. Previous to Mr. 

 Hume's stroke of fortune, a colony at Newquay, discovered by 

 Mr. J. V. S. Muller, a few stray plants on the hallast at Par, the 

 record of Mr. Tellam, and a single specimen found near 

 Cardinham half a century ago, by Mrs. T. Grrylls, made up the 

 Cornish roll of this species. 



From Miss M, L. Collins, of Bodmin, I have received 

 information of the occurrence of the Yellow Water Lily 

 [Nymplicea lutea, Linn.) on the moors between Par and Newquay, 

 the only place where I aru aware of it as growing in a genuinely 

 wild state west of the Tamar. In Devon it niay be found in 

 several localities. 



The first good thing on the list sent me by Canon Rogers is 

 Arahis Turrita, Linn., a Crucifer new to our county and wanting 

 from the flora of the adjoining county. It was found near 

 Hayle, and, hke many of our recent discoveries, is in all 

 probability an introduction. Among other places in Great 

 Britain, it has long established itself at Cambridge, Oxford, and 

 Cleish Castle, Kinross-shire. 



In a paper read before the Penzance Natural History and 

 Antiquarian Society, January 10th, 1890, Mr. W. A. Glasson 

 mentioned the finding of Sisymhrium altissimum, Linn, on the 

 Eastern Grreen. Like most of the casuals which have appeared 

 on that happy hunting ground of the botanist as the result of 

 the large amount of winnowing formerly done there, its stay was 

 a brief one, I am glad to say, however, it will not be necessary 

 to expunge it from our flora. During the past season I saw a 

 great many flowering and fruiting plants at the head of one of 

 the creeks on the Pal. This plant is not only unknown in 

 Devonshire, but at the time of publication of the Supplementary 

 volume to English Botany (1893) was supposed to have become 

 naturalised only in the neighbourhood of Crosby, Lancashire. 



Mr. W. N. Winn, of Kew Gardens, has added Silene coyiica, 

 Linn, to the Cornish flora, and thereby has increased the good 

 things known to lurk over the Lizard area. Devon is still 

 waiting for its first record for this interesting Catchfly. 



Claytonia ijerfoliata^ Donn, as yet unknown to the county 

 lying east of the Tamar, has been reported fi'om the parish of
