SHORT NOTES. 
Lrvarra Cymsararra 1n Porrueat. —I gathered this at Cintra in 
April Sieg it is not given for Portugal in Nyman’s Conspectus. 
also gathered near Lisbon a Fumaria which Mr. Pugsley thinks is 
F. Gussonii Boiss.—also unrecorded for Portugal in the Conspectus. 
Tris bicolor grew on some hills behind Lisbon; and I saw Fritillaria 
lusitanica, Davallia canariensis, Woodwardia radicans, Asplenium 
acutum, Simethis bicolor, Narcissus obesus, Cephalanthera ensifolia, 
Arbutus Unedo, Viburnum Tinus, Asterolinum stellatum (mimicking 
starved Huphorbia exigqua), Scilla monophyllos, S. campanulata, Geum 
silvaticum, Cistus hirsutus, C. salvifolius, Helianthemum guttatum, 
eravia, Cytinus Hypocistus, Pedicularis lusitanica, and many 
other interesting species. It would be Pag! aot to excel the 
beauty of the surroundings.—G. Crarip

-—This plant is siteddy recorded in Journ. Bot. 1895, p. me by 
Mr. . Towndro pa In 
addition to the records mentioned by . Townsend aes be 
added Gloucestershire East, where I anihaeal it near Sevenhampton 
Common in 1900; here it grew in soil, once turf, bate converted into 
Dust, and now reverting to its original condition. CLARIDGE 
POSED SPECIES OF arta (p- 41 Jnr lately-pub- 
lished s species of Ovularia, O. Ranwnculi Oud. (in H. edwigia, XXXvil. 
182 (1898) ), collected on the leaves of Ranunculus acris in Holland, 
is to be referred to the conidial stage of Evysiphe Polygont DC. 
Prof, C. A. J. A. Oudemans ee me that no example of the 
tioned by the author are: a superficial mycelium (on the upper 
the 
their apex a single, continuous, hyaline, becgilte. elliptic ore 
measuring 30 xX 20p. In examples of the conidial stage of FE. - 
gont which I collected on the leaves of a species of SE = 
ambridge, in September, 1904, the characters shown agree with 
those described above. The conidia, which often occurred singly 
(see p. 42), were somewhat variable in shape and size; the greater 
both ends, and measured x 19 »; or they were comparatively 
short ind. broadly elliptic, measuring 80-34 x 20-2: 
clear, therefore, that Ovularia Ranunculi Oud. iin be sunk as a 
synonym of HK. Pulgont DC. In the account given of ‘ Ovularia 
fallax” I omitted ~ notice that Prof. = Magnus had already (in 
Abhandl. Naturh. ets Nir. arabes. xiii. 86 (1900) pointed out that 
Bonorden’s plant was ‘‘ the Oidium of _ Erysiphe, —— E. 
Martit Lév.,” and that this author had renamed the t' goo 
of Ovularia as O. Sehwarziana (Syd. Mec - Mareh, 8080) an 
O. Villiana bya. M ye. March. nr nr. 8898). ‘Lam indebted to Prof
