specimen, he writes: “Ia rry to have rashly put f

with the description of D. bulbigena are some observations on. the 
development of the bulb in Droseras, a migael that I have noticed 
since writing them had in 1848 excited Planchon’s curiosity.”

Banks and Solander, but they are not represented in Sydney

LOSTEUM UMBELLATUM IN Surrey (p. 189).—I too had an 
opportunity of gathering this plant in situ. The plants on the 
ground evidently, I think, mei: from the walls, where I think it 
as native, if that be the proper term, as it was in Kast Anglia; 
tomentosa, and Physospermum, all within the pase radius, show how

ts.—During April and May this year I dis- 
covered Mathiola ‘ican, Rosa rubiginosa, Stellaria media var 
. The Rev. EK. F. 
named some sedges gathered in various parts of the county, in- 
cluding C. acutiformis x riparia, and hybrids of C. stricta, the other 
parents being probably C. Goodenowit and C. acuta. (An old her- 
barium specimen from Llanelly, Caermarthen, v.-c. 44, he names 
C. acuta x Goodenowtt.) Scirpus sylvaticus is rare, Carex binervis 
common on upland moors, in y.-c. 41. Of Salices, we ngs S 
nigricans, S. pentandra, S. purpurea; the first and second are doubt- 
fully native: I have as yet seen no female plants of 8. taricds a
