ot Prants.—In connection with Mr. White’s “ Flora of 
the Bristol Coalfield ” and subsequent papers in this Journal on 
Bristol plants, the following notes may be of interest :—Hruphila 
brachycarpa Jord., which is omitted from the Flora, occurs abun- 
dantly (in several places) on Clifton Down. Specimens collected 
in April, 1903, and submitted to the ue. E. S. Marshall, were 
returned, “ good brachycarpa Jord.” —Trigonella purpurascens 
This species is only mentioned in the Flora. as included in a list of 
St. Vincent’s Rock plants for 1789, but is reported to have been 
found on Brandon Hill in 1893. In my herbarium is a specimen 
from the Clifton Observatory, dated June, 1886, and another 
collected in the same spot thirteen years —_ thus confirming a 
old record.—Sherardia arvensis L. A curiously minute form 
of this species, which might repay further investigation, was growing 
in some quantity on a steep turfy slope of St. Vincent’s Rock in

Carpigan Puants. Si on a short holiday at Aberystwyth 
in June of last year, I met with some quantity of Drosera anglica 
Huds., and a few plants of Orchis incarnata L., on the bog at Borth; 
and by the stream below the Devil’s Bridge a "tuft or two of Cares 
pallescens L. I believe these three Spee hy not hitherto been 
recorded for county Cardigan.—H. W. Pue: 
Hyrocnzris Gtasra L.—The id ae ui Report for this 
year remarks (see Journ. Bot. 1906, 304) on the iminishing 
frequency of Pyrola ee L. 8 arenaria Koch in South Lan- 
cashire, and the dan anger 0: its extermination at no distant date. 
Another plant which is ea with the same fate is Hypocheris 
glabra L.; this plant grows nearer to the sea, upon the looser sand, 
and the danger lies rather in the extension of the golf- finks than 
in building. Both were found in abundance near Freshfield, South 
Lancashire, in September of this year.—Hric Drap

of the Warsaiied Museum, a plant for identification.
