106 SHORT NOTES AND QUERIES. 
and and banks around ; how long it may have flourished there it 
is impossible to determine, "the spot being little frequented and some’ 
distance from any road.—Etm. A. Lomax. [Mrs. Lomax has also sent 
specimens to the Bot. Exchange Club, and Dr. Boswell-Syme, who 
has examined them, writes: ‘‘ 1 th hink there cannot be any doubt about 
the Echium being E. plantagineum. The Cornwall —— are 
much less robust than the Jersey ones, and look as if gr 
and exposure which did not suit them ; the leaves are thin as if grown 
in shade.” Two young specimens quite like the Cornwall ones are 
contained in the herbarium of the British Museum, labelled ** Hehium 
violaceum ; Isle of Wight, Mrs. Sissige Gray,” having been received 
from the late Mrs. Robinson in 1847. This is also, I believe, an unre- 
corded locality for £. plantagineum. — Ei. ae Bot. ] 
nts oF Penzance.—During a short visit to Penzance last 
autumn I came across several specimens of two yellow labiate plants 
which my ‘‘ Hooker” did not enable me to identify. One of these 
I find is Stachys annua, L.; with regard to the other I have been 
favoured with the following ste from Dr. Boswell-Syme :—‘‘ Your 
labiate is Sideritis romana, L. I never saw the plant alive, so can- 
which I found in the vicinity of Penzance. On the green occur 
Delphinium Consolida, L., sparingly; Reseda fruticulosa, L., main- 
taining its stand in its 1835 habitat, given in the New Bot. Guide Wis

carol common in the district, and Svlene ae) Ls is to be met ~

the Boe Garees, Trinidad, January 25th, 1873 :—‘ As to the Trini- 
dad Palms, Grisebach is scarcely correct. In some places there seems 
to be confusion, and a. is a deficiency of several species. Taking 
the genera as they occur in Grisebach’s ‘ West Indian Flora,’ e Prt

sy furnished the specimens Fee sent to Europe. Zhrinax parvt- 
flora, radiata, argentea, and excelsa are all found here as indigenous 
: plants. Of Mauritia we appear to have both setigera and flexuosa—the
