SHORT NOTES AND QUERIES: 47 
I found that they were the same, and both really identical with my 
E. elatum. The large-flowered form h e same little flowers inter- 
spersed among the lerze > flowers, whilst the small-flowered form showed

amining the material before me, find a single young fruit with a long 
style; all have them very tbe and curved, and this, I may add, is not 
the case alone in this new species, but apparently in all Eranthemun, of 
which, however, I have Ea arie only a very a ly. The 
long-styled ovaries all remain abortive, and dry aer. some time. 
You will observe, from the above, that I only e met with the fully- 
developed large flowers; but this may possibly be attributed to these 
large flowers only opening x certain hours, so that they were overlooked 
b 
y The species of uthemum are frequently cultivated in the 
gardens of India and "abs ; and, therefore, it will be easy enough to 
find out whether the fertile flewers are all, as I believe to be the case, 
buds and differently- shaped from the stabil ones. Besides the above, 
observe in my dry specimens ete form, Bios h, however, may b 
probably the produce of some in There e calyces, which have a 
longer tube than usual; and iius I find Sonus of a coro ut bear- 
ing young, broad, qu uite different-looking capsules, all Shih. ‘were par-

HAMPSHIRE PrnaNTs.—!n September last I found Tillea muscosa 
growing abundantly on the roadside at Shidfield, between Botley station 
and the vil age of Wickham, Hants. I am not aware that this locality 
ever been 1 recorded, though this seems singular, as the venerable Dean 
of ‘Winchester, an industrious botanist, was rector of Wickham during the 
first few years of this century, = the locality for Ti//ea is within a mile 
of the village of Wickham, on the high-road between that place an 
Southampton. ]t i : hardly likely that he should have overlooked it, if it 
was growing there then. I may also mention that I found Briza minor 
growing at Botley, i in two separate spots, distant from each other at least 
a mile and a half.—G. S. SrREATFIELD. 
ANANDROUS STATE OF Erica CINEREA.— While ell "i ye

cimen was taken from a plant (where there are severa] more) about a mile 
distant from the spot where the former grew." Similar specimens are in 
Sowerby's herbarium, lab elle d * * Marquis o f Bath," no doubt from the
