sci I mention Comarum palustre, Silene conica, Medicago minima and 
nearly all the small rare trefoil, "Frankenia levis, Carex teretiuscula, 
ing, but much neglected district. 1 may also add —_ the trenches 
inland abound in rare aquatic plants.—F. J. Hansur 
Minprzsex Praxrs.—Numerous specimens of Sedum dasyphyllum, 
Iam informed by Mr. W. G. Smith, have been sent him from Mr. J. 
ae coe who writes that it grows on very old walls for about a mile 
don. There can be little doubt nat ats is planted there. 
Since the publication of the ‘‘ Flora of Middlesex” this Sedum has 
n found in abundance on the left take avi! of Sion Lane, 
Isleworth—The Rev. Dr. Hind sends specimens of Pyrola minor 
from the Grove, on the east side of Stanmore Heath. It occurs in con- 
siderable quantity, covering several square yards, under some venerable 
trees. He states that there appears to be no reason to suppose it in-

on waste ground, formerly a market garden, ve to the Gloucester 
Road railway station, pa gs on his was Galeopsis speciosa, 
Mill. [(G. versicolor, Curt.) ; plants pes were seen, all in full 
flower.—In a neighbourin uring Bie garden, planted as an orchard, we 
Noticed a tall Rumex growing with RB. erispus, from which it differed 
inner perianth- leaves entirely devoid of tubercles, and ve little 
hesitation in referrin tring it to R. domesticus, Hartm. (2. longifolius, DC., 
R. raed then Auct. plur.), although the panicle is less dense and

R. A. Pryor for: rodt-leaves from plants collected at Hatfield, oe ied

base Unequal, and a somewhat abrupt base neither distinctly tapering
