914 SHORT NOTES. 
TRAGALUS HYPOGLOTTIs In SourH Brps.—I last month found _ 
this plant growing plentifully on the Warden Hills, about three miles 
north of Luton. The subsoil is chalky, and the old Roman road, 
the Icknield Way, runs at the base of the hills. It grew in 
company with Senecio campestris, Orchis ustulata, and Koeleria 
cristata. —J. SAuNDERS. 
Ranunoutus Drovern Schultz., is Worcrsrersuire.—This 
plant, hitherto unrecorded for Worcestershire, I have just met 
with at Leigh Sinton, near Malvern, growing with R. floribundus 
Bab., in one of the old marl pits so common in the neighbourhood.

R 1v Norra Devon.—Professor C. C. 
Babington has thus named a plant I sent him at the end of May 
from a muddy lane across a moor in Bridgerule, on the Devon side 
of the Upper Tamar. It is, I see, identical with a plant I found 
on a hillside near Okehampton.—W. Moytz Rocrrs. 
_ Fissmens rurutus Schpr.—I gathered this moss in two 
localities widely apart in Bolton Woods, West Yorkshire, on the 
26th of last March; it grew in rather dense tufts on rocks in the 
River arfe, associated with Amblystegium fluviatile Swartz, 
Cinclidotus fontinaloides Hedw., Barbula spadicea Mitt., and the 
river form of Grimmia apocarpa L. The plants were packed 
with rock débris, in a similar way to what obtains in the acuminate 
variety of Andreea petrophila Khrh., only the débris was coarser, 
though hardly so coarse as Dichodontum flavescens Dicks. and 
Atrichum crispum James love to revel in. The rocks it grew upon 
Schpr., in one place on grit and in the other on limestone. 
packets as I’, crassipes Wils., but my eagle-eyed friend Ws 
of Penzance, recognised it at once, and informed me my 
mist F. crassipes Wils., has larger cells than FI. rufulus 
should think it will mature fruit in late autumn.
