SHORT NOTES 219 
sentation to Mr. Bennett that our apese Yoult. ma allow the print- 
ing of both recorder and reference, and it se to us that the 
latter would be more generally antl Entirely aoa from ~~ 
point at issue, we cannot but feel that the anxiety for ‘* credit” 
connection with first records, and still more in the making of new 
combinations in nomenclature, is becoming greatly overdone; a 
botanist’s gang does not depend upon trivialities of this kind.

Ay oS ourRKE LamBert 1N IreLanp.—I do not find in the 
Cybele Hibernica a“ reference to A. B. Lambert as having botanized 
te Ireland. It may therefore be worth while recording that in his 
copy of the second edition of Hudson’s Flora Anglica, now in the 
m, umero argina 
notes of localities, many of them from Ireland. These, with the 
exception of one reference to Killarney, are from Co. Dublin and 
o. Mayo, the latter from Castle Bourke, where he had doubtless 
been visiting his relations: the only date I find is 1790. I have 
not checked the localities with the Cybele, but have noted two which 
seem of interest—Lathrea Squamaria, ‘* found upon a moist acclivity 
as we came up the seashore from Dunlary [now Kingstown] to 
Newton,” ae ness columbinum, ‘I found it about the Black 
ock, Dublin, frequent”: neither of these is — in the Cybele 
for the nghbons od of Dublin.—Jamzs Barr 
Iste or Wi ants.—It may be pote rena recording the 
digoovery of sehen anthropophora in the Isle of Wight. Mr. KE. H.

keen search failed to fiud one.’’ This is not a new county record, 
but it is evident from the notes in Mr. Townsend’s Flora of Hamp- 
shire (second edition) that the plant has not been seen very recently 
in oe pea f and Mr. Townsend had not seen any Hampshire 
speci Mr. Townsend refers to the article by Mr. C. B. Clarke 
in this Nestea for 1868 (p. 217), which was written in repl 
. C. Watson’s amusing review pts Bot. 1867, 51) of Mr. 
Clarke" s List of Andover Plants.» Mr. Watson had remarked upon 
Ophrys apifera and Aceras anthropophora it having been observed 
by Mr. Clarke within the five or ten mile radius from Andover, and 
from the omission of Hants in the list of ¢ counties in Topographical 
Pega p. 881, Mr. Watson no doubt concluded that the plant 
e county. 
In July, 1846, Dr. Bromfield recorded that he had received 
from Mrs. Charles Brenton a specimen of Dianthus Armeria, which 
he states was found ‘near the Grove by Brading”’ by ‘ [the late] 
Mr. A. G. Mo 
quite extinct in the Isle of Wight. I have pr for it it unsuccess
