am indebted to Kevv for the name. It has been met with 

 in England previously. (See "Alien Flora of Britain," 

 by S. T. Dunn, p. 1 16.) 



Hieracium anrantiacum, Linn., a native of the Alps, 

 grows upon a portion of the Lytham and St. Anne's golf 

 links, situate to the east of the railway line. Its station 

 is far away from any houses, but it is so frequently culti-

 indebted to Miss Marian Wood, of the North Drive, for 

 the discovery of the plant at this station.

 must be classed with the casuals here enumerated. There 

 were a few strong plants of it, sadly dismembered and 

 trodden under foot. 



Lycopsis orientalis, Linn., occurred as a large straggling 

 plant, owing its preservation to bushy Chenopodiacece. 



Echium ? sp. Several examples of a plant that had 

 the look of an Echium appeared on the building ground. 

 It had grown no further than producing large rosettes of 

 root-leaves radiating from a stout rootstock ; the 

 individual leaves were numerous and measured from 

 twelve to eighteen inches long, which gave the rosettes, 

 lying fiat on the ground, a striking appearance. I left 

 all the rosettes growing in the hope of tracing its further 

 growth this year, but they now all lie under houses. 



Echinospermum Laf>pula, Lehm.,was a fourth boragin- 

 aceous plant growing on the same ground and in a
