1518. Popunus TRemuwA L. b. viztosa. The author is (O. F.) 
Lang, not Lange, and was entered accordingly ; but somebody has 
altered it. 
1525. Taxus Bpaccata L. The census-number is 52. 
1545. HeLLEBORINE LATIFOLIA Druce b. Mepia. The plant of 
Babington (and Fries ?) appears to be only a subspecies, and is so 
treated here

iff, Monmouthshire, and near Clonbur, Mayo, are at 
least very near it, but dried specimens are difficult to name with 
certainty. 
1583. Romutea Cotumna Seb. & Maur. Mr. Davey has in- 
formed me of its discovery in E. Cornwall. 
85. SIsYRINCHIUM CALIFORNICUM Ait. Mr. Druce’s theory of 
this plant’s introduction is worthy of careful consideration. I 
venture to dissent from it on the following grounds:—1. The 
station is a swam asture, beyond the reach of oF _— and 
with an otherwise catia and characteristic marshlan 
Carnsore Point, the scene of so many wrecks, is a no yas off, 
and there are some miles of intervening coast on which floating 
seeds could more easily be deposited. 3. So far as I know, this 
species is purely perael not ha ii and how its seeds could find 
their way into Californi: elds I cannot understand, these 
fields being (as I remember ‘hottbally much drier than those of our 
elsewhere in Title” Té shoul borne in mind, moreover, that 
for a long time S. angustifolium lay under suspicion. . Scully, 
who is by no means prone to undue credulity in such matters, paid 
me a short visit just eters Easter, and I understand that he now 
fully accepts it asa native in Kerry. Leucoywm estivum was like- 
wise objected to when I first recorded it from Co. Wexford ; it has 
since been found abundantly over a fairly large area in Connaught, 
and is ope to be indigenous there by so careful a botanist as

Where the plant grows on open coasts aia other exposed situa- 
tions, it is more or less prostrate; but as soon as iti is sheltered it 
becomes ascending or erect, the difference being simply a matter of 
situation. See Lloyd, Fl. del’ Ouest
