Mimvuxus Lanesporru 1x Bucks. — I am not sure whether this 
lant has been ees for Buolts. ot observed it this autumn in 
d 
and that the Wick tte 80 far blocked by it on one Gecasion 
Aster Linosyris 1n ae TH ip Ry May se Flora of Somerset, 
Aster pss yris is said to be extinct. This autumn I had the pleasure 
of seeing it on a low range of carboniferous rocks in the neighbour- 
hood of Weston-super-Mare, but not in the oes locality. There 
were — a hundred plants in flower.—G. Cra 
ERMUM COMMUTATUM IN Bucks.—In seri last Mr. W. R. 
Shateia cought to the National Herbarium specimens of Physo- 
spermum commutatum Spreng. (P. cornubiense DC.), which he had 
found in some quantity near Burnham Beeches. This is a remark- 
able extension of the range of the plant, but Mr. Sherrin considered 
indigenous in this new “locality. —James Britten.
