SHORT NOTES. 



North Wales Plants. — Whilst staying at Beddgelert, North 

 Wales, during last July and August, I met with seventy-five plants 

 not noticed in two visits during the same months in 1889 and 1890, 

 bringing the total number observed for Carnarvon and Merioneth- 

 shire up to about 390 species. Of this year's plants, the following 

 are either not recorded in Topographical Botany, 1883, are new 

 localities, or confirmation of queries : — 



Not. Recorded. — Carex divisa and Elymus arenarius, both found 

 near Harlech, for 48, Merionethshire; and Carex pauciflorm, on 

 the lower hills, on the slope at the eastern base of Moel Hebog, for 

 49, Carnarvon. 



?s - — Cynoglossum officinale, near Harlech, 48, 

 Merioneth; and Leontodon hirtus, near Llyn Gwynant, 49, Car- 

 narvon. In confirmation of queries -.—Bryonia dioica, near Llyn 

 Gwynant. Hymenophyllum tunbridqeme, on the north side of Dinas 

 Lmrys, a hill between Beddgelert and Llyn Dinas, 49, Carnarvon. 

 .This last is rare in comparison with H. irnih iter ale , which occurs in 

 several localities. I may mention, in addition, that we met with 

 Asplenium viride and Woodsia hyperborea in fair quantity on the 

 crags of Moel Cefn, north of Moel Hebog, Carnarvon. — F. C. S. 



JiOPER . 



TraCHELIUM CtERULEUM ESTABLISHED IN GUERNSEY. I have this 



month received fine specimens of this beautiful plant from mv 

 friend Mr. Archibald Buchanan Brown, who has been resident in 

 Guernsey for many years. He has known this plant to exist in the 

 same profusion it does at present for quite sixteen years, but, till 

 recently, imagined it was but a colour variety of Centranthm 

 ruber; this not unnatural assumption was strengthened by the 

 fact that the specimens grew out of reach, and so the serrations 

 on the leaves were not discernible. It may not be well to give 

 the exact locality ; but the plant is abundant at the outskirts of 

 bt. Peter's Port, in one or two contiguous places, on old, high, and 

 somewhat ruinous walls. Mr. Buchanan Brown counted at least 

 one hundred and fifty blooms on August 16th. Doubtless, in my 

 opinion, the plant is an established introduction, but when, and by 

 wliom, is a problem not likely now to be solved. At all events, the 

 plant is thriving in this locality, has been there very many years, 

 ana is likely to increase its area. Old walls seem its favourite 

 habitat m most of the localities it affects, judging from the numerous 

 specimens I have, collected by Huter, Bourgeau, Huet de Pavilion, 

 Janm, JBall, and others from Italy, Spain, and Algeria. The liev.
