SHORT NOTES. 
Lepmium Latirottum In Sussex. — The occurrence of this fine 
plant at Appledean Common, about two miles from Chichester, 
seems worthy of record. Last summer (1886) it appeared in 
abundance ices a new cut had been made for the Lavant, as it 
approaches the sea, and was very conspicuous on the newly 
turned-up soil. It had not previously been observed in 
ity.—_F. H. Arnoxp.

Gera: The continental distribution is all in favour of its being

pias a British plant. In the rebound from a readiness to include 
any garden stray as native, on next to no evidence, it seems likely 
that this and one or two other things have bgee: somewhat rashly 
relegated to the class of “ orchard” or uralised”’ waifs.—

TRICHOMANES RADICANS IN CaRNARVONSHIRE.—In July last I found 
a very good specimen of Trichomanes radicans growing in a damp 
‘hole near the top of a range of mountains. Not knowing the
