360 SHORT NOTES. 
between Burham and Boxley are very likely to furnish another 
habitat.—Epwarp S. Marsuatu. 
ARENARIA BaLEaRIcA (p. 828).—This note refers to some speci- 
mens that I threw on some rocks in my ground. I am very fond 
of the plant for the garden, and as it runs everywhere over stones 
(without earth), I thought I would give it a trial on these dry 
rocks.— Wiu1am Rosrnson, 
e 9th, 1899, at 
. Somercotes, Lincolnshire, and brought to me for identification, 
I found fine Specimens of Hypnum Wilsoni Schimp., which, so far as 
I am aware, has not previously been recorded for this county.— 
J. A. WHEtpon, 
A Hysrm Orcamw.—On June 23rd, 1898, on the slope of the 
chalk escarpment north of Sevenoaks, I observed, growing in 
company with Orchis maculata and nnadenia conopsea, two 
flowering spikes of intermediate appearance, resem er 
eneral aspect, and the latter in colov ther examination 
showed that they resembled O. maculata in the stout spur wit out 
free honey, the spotted lip, and the absence of strong aromatic

roof of the entrance to the nectary, the stigmatic ourlieet

longer than the germen. Ey ‘ 
texture of the pollen-magses and the nearly horizontal lateral 
sepals with strongly revolute margins, the affinity to G. conopsed 
was Shown, as also in the fact that these sepals usually exp — 
before the lip. This year I again found in the same place two spikes 
of the intermedia: t, and, having submitted one of these in @ 
fresh state to Mr. Frederic J. Hanbury, he agrees with me that 
e plan t be a hybrid. According to Darwin and Miller, 
O. maculata is fertilized by diptera, and G. conopsea by night-flying 
moths, but the occurrence of the hybrid shows that the same insect 
b h . . . 
G. conopsea, and I would recommend botanists who have observed 
this form to ascertain whether it be not, as I think probable, the 
hybrid in question.— Henry Prrrson.

omissions have been made from the Flora of Cheshire: of Arenaria 
trinervia and Myosotis ca@spitosa, I noted both species during a visit 
to Hoylake in 1893. The Liverpool floras give both as common. 
In a ditch, then dry, I gathered one specimen of M. cespitosa of 
remarkable luxuriance. Tt measured twelve inches from the base
