Colonist. Agrestal. The name of ' spurium ' having 

 been erroneously applied to G. tricorne, by authors of the 

 last century, some of the old localities connected with that 

 name will be also erroneous, if indicated for the species 

 now designated G. spurium by English botanists. Mr. G. 

 Don is said to have discovered this latter species in Forfar- 

 shire, and a specimen is preserved in Smith's herbarium ; 

 but Mr. Gardiner appears not to have found the same spe- 

 cies in that county. G. Vaillantii was discovered in Essex, 

 very recently, by Mr. G. S. Gibson. I am not aware of 

 localities published in any other county. Mr. C. C. Ba- 

 bington gives me a note for Cambridgeshire, and intimates 

 in his Manual that G. Vaillantii is " not uncommon." 

 More definite infonnation is required, in order to fill up the 

 formula correctly.
