88 THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 
non Arn. (1886), is not available; being a Ceylon plant, the 
new name [. rapropantca is proposed for it—W. P. Hiern, 
I noted this apparently wild at Madresfield, Oct. 12th, 1899, 
when the Worcestershire Naturalists’ Club and Malvern Naturalists’ 
Field Club held a joint-meeting at Dripshill Wood. It grew by the 
side of a brook, and seemed well established there. The plant has 
re petioles, so is, I suppose, the var. macrochila.—CaRLETon

_ Juncus aupinus Vill. mn CumBernann ?—Looking up some Norfolk 
references lately, I came across the following note by Mr. H. D. 
Geldart, of Norwich (Trans. Norf. & Norw. Naturalists’ Soc. vol. iv. 
p- 513, 1888). Speaking of the occurrence of Juncus nigritellus 
Auct. Angl. (non Don) at Wells, Norfolk, le observes :—‘ Of J. ni- 
the H. B.S. No. 2648; and the third wou en nam 
Juncus alpinus Vill. without much hesitation, had it been found on 
Hoppe. However this question may be ultimately settled, I think 
that both the habit of growth and the shape of ‘is capsules is too 
Side Tarn 
regard them both as the same variety of any one species.” It 
would seem well worth while for botanists going to the Lakes this 
year to search around this tarn, as I know of no record south of 
erth.—Arruur Benner, 
Hieracium soraPHitum Uechtritz 1s Wororsrersuire.—l gathered 
plants of this species in a railway cutting near Upton-on-Severn on 
July ist, 1897; and in Long Coppice, Leigh, on August Ist, 1898.
