SHORT NOTES $5 
P. serpyllacea Weihe var. vincoides Chodat, in litt., and the deserip- 
ich he has up is as follows :—* Foliis ellipticis, 
breviter acutis subimbricatis plerumque oppositis superioribus 
tantum alternis, racemis terminalibus brevibus haud involucratis, 
inv ings more elliptical than oblong, erest but little 
ivided, about 8-lobed, the marginal lobes wider and incised, style 
n all longer than the ovary, seeds ellipsoidal, smooth, rather 
parish, on the top of a hill, about 700 ft. above the sea. In both 
places it was associated wi Potentilla silvestris var. sciaphila, and 
our flora was discovered, I am unable to say if late flowering is one 
of its features; but from what I saw in the two places where it 
occurs, 1 think this very probable.—F. Haminton Davey. 
Nonxea picta Sweet.—About half a dozen plants of this native 
of the East were found this summer at Ivy Hatch, near Sevenoaks, 
by Miss Edith Head. They were growing in a grassy field close to 
broken ground where in former years gravel had been taken away, 
sin 
not, so far as 1 am aware, grown in this country as a garden plant.
