THE DisTRipuTion in THE ALps or ALCHEMILLA CONJUNCTA, 
Bab.—The occurrence in the Alps of Alchemilla conjuncta, Bab., a 
fact which has been familiar to me for upwards of twenty years, 
having recently been mentioned as a novelty, it is desirable to place 
upon record what is actually known of the distribution on the 
Continent of this form of Alchemilla. For the purpose of avoiding

Dauphin and Bourg d’Oisans, Dauphiné (Haute Isére). 2. August 
15th, 1860; La Bérarde Dauphiné (Haute Isére). 8. August 22nd, 
1860; Val Pellice, Western Piedmont. 4. July 31st, 1874. 
Ormond dessus, Canton Vaud, Switzerland. Professor Babington 
further informs me that in the year 1878 he received from the 
Rey. Augustin Ley garden-grown specimens of Alchemilla conjuncta 
from a plant obtained near the Tosa Falls, in the Val Formazza, 
Piedmont. In the ‘ Cybele Britannica’ (vol. i., p. 863, 1847), Mr. 
Watson states that this species had been gathered in Switzerland by 
Mr. Twining, and that specimens from Gouan, supposed to have 
been collected in the Pyrenees, are in the herbarium of the late 
Sir 
alpina, L. (See * Students’ Flora,’ 2nd edition, p. 123.) Nyman 
admits it as a species in his ‘ Sylloge Flore Europe,’ 1854, 
p. 276, and in the ‘ Conspectus,’ 1878, p. 238, with the localities 
Scotland and Faroe. So far as I know, it is ignored by every other 
foreign botanist, although it is certainly to be found in France, 
tzerland. and Italy, and is probably widely distributed in 
ws.

Oxrorpsuire Roses. —In a hedge on the chalk-downs near 
Goring, Oxon, I noticed a Rose which has proved to be Rosa 
aspernata, Déség., an interesting record, since it extends very con- 
siderably its northern range. On the marly district of Stonesfield, 
between Woodstock and Charlbury, occurred a fine bush of Rosa 
osinciana, Besser. Mr. Baker has seen specimens of each.—
