RELATING CHIEFLY TO 



SPECIES TEEATED IN FORMEK VOLUMES. 



1. Clematis Vitalba, vol. i. page 70. 



The north limit may be continued westward into Pem- 

 broke, on the authority of Mr. Babington. Possibly this 

 shrub may be truly indigenous in the Trent province, so 

 far as its most southern county, Leicester, is concerned ; 

 where the Clematis occurs very locally, but is perhaps 

 native, as I am informed by the Eev. Andrew Bloxam. 



3. Thalictrum minus, vol. i. p. 71. 



The south limit may be continued westward into Corn- 

 wall, where this plant has been found by the Rev. C. A. 

 Johns (Phytol. ii. 907). Perhaps it ascends to the mid- 

 arctic zone, on Snowdon. T. minus (of British botanists) 

 is probably an aggregate si^ecies. But if so, the stations 

 and distribution of its included unit-species cannot be se- 

 parated at present, unless very incompletely ; and some of 

 them may even be on record as belonging to T. majus. 

 In the Manual of British Botany two subordinate species 

 are cut out of T. minus ; namely, " T. flexuosum (E. 

 Fries) " stated to have been found by Mr. Hort, at Ched- 

 dar in Somerset; and " T. saxatile (DC.)", sj^nonymous 

 with T. Kochii of Fries, equally fovmd by the same ob- 

 serving botanist at Cheddar, and also at Brathay in
