SHORT NOTES. 
ee Recorps, 1903.—The following flowering plants, 
not previously recorded as occurring in Leicestershire, or only 
Se acnols “distributed and rarely recorded, me been noted by 
myself during the season 1903:—Papaver Rheas L, var. Pryortt 
Druce. Near Syston. This is undoubtedly the first recorded 
occurrence of the variety, the type being commonly found. ne 
following have previously only once “been recorded :—Car 
segetum Benth. & Hook. fil. Pacer well established ; fe 
viously recorded from Barrow-on-Soar. — Huphrasia stricta Town- 
send. Hilly ground, South Croxton, ‘Well established in two places; 
first found in the county at Hamilton kay Barkby, by W. Bell, 
some weeks previously.—A. R. 
ArripLex rosea L. 1n Sussex.—lI found this species growing on 
the foreshore at Southwick, Sussex, in September, 1900. Its conti- 
nental distribution would render it a plat likely to be found on our 
southern or seaecith coasts, since it is found in Germany, Southern 
Sweden, and Fra But in this instance there is little doubt as 
to its being an intrndusba plant, since Caucalis daucoides grew wit 
it. A. laciniata of British botanists has sometimes been recorded 
as A. rosea, but they are quite distinct species.—G. Cuarincz Druce. 
wenviroLia Mogq.-Tand.—I gathered oa 
on the foreshore at Slerithwiek, Sussex, in September, 1900 ; 
specimens agree w riers oe distributed in Wirtgen’s Herb. Plant. 
Select. etc., Flore Rhenana, Fasc. vi. 252. When growing, its 
habit was quite pee that of S. Kali, as it was a tall, slender 
plant without prickles. It was probably of foreign origin, since 
Atriplex rosea grew with it, and some rubbish had evidently been 
‘¢ dumped” there.—-G. Caner Druce. 
Poa Cuarxu Vill.—-In 1902, when visiting Middleton Park, the 
seat of the Earl of Jersey, I was surprised to see the herbage of 
what I felt certain was this species growing in the plantations near 
the house, and eventually I found a pore of the panicle, which 
supported my belief as to its — meee The gardener, himself a 
botanist, who had lived there m was unaware of its being

over five feet high. robes its occurring in what is ractically a
