SreLiaRtA umBRosA Opitz.—This species has not, so far as Iam 
aware, been recorded for Montgomeryshire. It was found in some 
quantity by Miss E. Foulkes Jones, on a hedge-bank, Forden Road,

of the plant. The naming has been confirmed by Mr. Arthur 
Bennett.— Witi1am WHITWELL. . 
Sonanum RosTRATuM Dunal (pp. 42, 81).—l found this plant last

I came across this prickly Solanwn among rubbish near & dilapidated 
cottage by the roadside. There was only a single specimen, whic 
was conspicuous at a considerable distance by reason of the bright 
yellow flowers. Last summer a specimen of the plant was sent me

nettles at Ascot, Surrey.—A. Bruce Jackson.
