in which all the above plants and the Hieracia, Rubi, &c., are 
given specific rank. hope that, while not mainly written as a 
description of all the plants in my List, the Pocket Book may

Darang Lavurreoua x MezerEeum in N. Somerset.—I have 
reported this hybrid from woodlands between Somerton and King- 
weston, 1907; two plants occurred which were referred to this, 
one being more satisfactory than the other. A cutting of the 
latter has flowered, and is ordinary typical D. Lawreola. Messrs. 
ruce, C. E. Salmon, and J. W. White probably received speci- 
mens from this second bush, as they all objected (rightly as is now 
clear) to the determination. My own herbarium specimens (from 
the first ) con s 
W. Sussex, is -Mezereum form. The Somerset hybrid is 
doubtless due to the fertilization of D. Lawreola by insect-borne 
pollen of D. Mezereum.—Epwarp S. MarsHabn. 
Puants or Nortu Devon (p. 56).—With regard to Mr. Druce’s 
note thus entitled I would point out that all the Exeter District 
is in Watson’s v.-c. 3; its plants, therefore, can scarcely 
described as in “ North Devon” (y.-c. 4). In the list he gives of 
‘‘additions to Topographical Botany noticed near Exeter” in s 
is one plant, Radicula palustris Moench, that so long ago as the 
year 1829 was given in the Flora Devoniensis (under its old name 
of Nasturtium terrestre) as growing “at the side of the river at 
xwick.” I myself found it abundant at Countess Weir (by the 
Exe), in 1894.—C. E. Larter. 
Society, there are a good many specimens sent to Mr. Parfitt from 
Thirsk by Mr. Davies. Also a number collected by the latter in 
a visit to the island of only three or four days, during which he
