Asparagus officinalis Linn. (marked with a ? in Britten’s list), 
Sand-hills north of Mablethorpe, 4th August, 1890! ‘This in 
Mr. Lees’ opinion is truly wild, though it does occur but 
sparingly now ; for one reason—among others—that Dr. Martin 
Lister mentions, in his ‘ Journey to Paris’ (1698), having tried to 
reclaim it for the table, by cultivating plants taken from these 
very sand-hills, but in vain, it remaining tough, bitter, and 
uneatable. It has, clearly, therefore, existed for 200 years 
on the coast, surely long enough to establish its claim to 
nativeness. 
Asplenium Adiantum-nigrum Linn. Spilsby, 9th September, 
1889 ! (Mrs. L. B. Davy). Burgh-le-Marsh Church, two tufts, 
4th September, 1890 (J.B.D.).

achenalii in Cumberland: a rectification.—I believe I made 
a mistake in ientifying the (Enanthe found by the Wath Ciel near Skinburness. 
(see Nat t. 1890, p. 304), as CE. fistulosa. I now recognise it as Qi. lachenaitt. 
I knew that G. Jistulosa grew in the neighbourhood, having gathered it on Salta
