THOMAS CLARK AND SOMERSET PLANTS ~ 235 
East and West Quantoxhead in 1847. Leaflets 1 in. wide, 2-24 in 
long, elliptic; stipules broader than in L. sylvestris; flowers larger 
and more numerous. 
Potentilia argentea L. As suggested in Fl. Som. p. 126, the 
record ‘‘Frequent round Bridgwater, Colin in N.B.G. is cer- 
tainly an error, for the district both east and west of the River 
Parret is not at all a likely one for this ohet: there is no specimen 
in Herb. Clark, and it may be expunged from the county list. 
Collins’ error in recording P. verna from the same district was 
noted by me in Journ. Bot. 1898, 813. 1 saw it this Easter (1905) 
on rocky grot paid by the road from Axbridge to Cross, sixteen miles 
from Bridgwater; but it is quite scarce even on the Mendip lime- 
stone

water; 3, 1830. 
. Pyrus torminalis Khrh. Roadside between Fourforks and Bar-

in N.B.G. 
C. Chr rysosplenium alternifolium L. Cannington Brook, near 
Charlinch, Collins ; 8, 1836. 
* Ribes rubrum i. Copse, West Bower; 3, 1849. 
Epilobium angustifoliun L. Turfmoor; 8, 1826. It may be 
i to place on record an early appearance of this plant on 
- the Somersetshire pest moors, it heving incre: there so much, 
as elsewhere in Britain. Clark wrote: ‘‘ When the Glaston 
Canal was dug, it appeared & year or seis afterwards in great plenty 
on the banks. 3__R, parviflorum var. B peer oar Roadside

gathered in 1881, 1850, and 1858; and, although the writer 
found a few plants near Shapwick in 1888 (see e Journ. Bot. 1889, 
183), we fear this rare but very poisonous plant has become eradi- 
cated, perhaps through the cutting of the peat.
