ADDITIONAL NOTES, ETC. 491 



Flower, as copied from an impriBted " Flora Bathonica " 

 by Sole, shows the artificial origin of one of the two sta- 

 tions for this plant in the vicinity of Bath. "Lysiniachia 

 thyrsiflora — I have not yet had the good luck to find this 

 plant ; but having had it given me, I have planted it in a 

 low place by the side of the Avon, a hundred paces below 

 Mr. Brett's timber-yard, where it flourishes very well." 

 This station, it seems, would have been published as new 

 and native, in a Flora of Bath, afterwards penned for pub- 

 lication bj'^ Mr. John Jelly, who died without having car- 

 ried his mtention into effect. A second locahty in the 

 same neighbourhood, but within the county of Wilts, was 

 published in Babington's Flora Bathoniensis as an indi- 

 genous one. That second station must now be held of 

 very suspicious origin also ; and Mr. Flower thinks the 

 species has lately become quite extinct there. Sole is 

 supposed to have introduced various other plants into the 

 neighbourhood of Bath. In 1845 or 6, Mi-. J. T. Syme 

 found L. thjTsiflora near Kingcausie, Eancardine, but it 

 shortly disappeared from the spot.

Some other British stations have been lately reported 

 for this American plant. Mr. Benjamin Carrington re- 

 ports it " natm'ahzed in the neighboiu'hood of Lincoln." 

 It was shown to Mr. Borrer, by Mr. W. Wilson, " quite 

 naturalized near Warrington, in a spot where a botanic 

 garden once existed." And Mr. John Ball records it as 

 found " on the east bank of Leven Water, about a mile from 

 Dumbarton, growing rather plentifully amongst Carices 

 and Jimci with Carum verticillatum." Like the Mimulus 

 luteus and Impatiens fulva, the known transatlantic origin 

 of this species will prevent its being deemed more than a 

 natiu'alized alien.
