SHORT NOTES. 
Exymus arenarius in Sussex.—I have been a by the ate 
E. N. Bloomfield, of Guestling, Sussex, to place on record t 
found this summer by Mr. L. B. Hall, who, noticing some of the 
spikes to be ergotized, picked one or two and sent a specimen to 
Mr. Bloomfield, not knowing the rarity of the plant in the South. 
He gathered it at Camber, near Rye. In a letter to Mr. Bloomfield 
he remarks: ‘‘ There were, as far as I recollect, three or four very 
fine clumps, about two to four feet in diameter, or larger. There 
were no rubbish heaps, or any other indication of its being intro- 
duced. I saw about four spikes in flower, some of them very large.” 
This brings it near the Kent coast, for which it is on record ; but the 
authors of the Flora of Kent consider it requires confirmation, and 
in this agree. E. arenarius is now on record for Es sex !, Sussex |,
