ACHIA THyRSIFLoRA L.—I do not remember to have seen it 
ied | that by saleelacn Ape: plant (which in the wild state is 
almost glabrous) pea ity > the amount of hairs ee to 
growing in water being Baa but in an ing ¢ covered 
with hairs. An analogous change comes over Saaifraga Hirculus 
- when grown in the open ground in rich light soil, with full 
exposure to the sun. I would advise any of. your readers who 
the marine botany may be said to be the great abundance of 
Sphacelaria scoparia aa Rhodomela lycopodioides, Polystphonia 
Jibrillosa, both with capsules and tetraspores, and of a large size, is 
so frequent. In the rock-pools are found Padina Pavonia, Taonia 
atomaria, Styridia filamentosa, and Callithamnion corymbosum.—T.
