SHORT NOTES. 



Rumex Acetosella L. (p. 261). — I can supplement Mr. E. F. 



Linton's interesting note on this plant by giving the growth of a 

 single tuft during twelve months. In October I planted a tuft 

 which was dug up with a grass from a Suffolk heath ; it commenced 

 its growth in November, and seemingly grew the winter through.
