L., b. ghtucantha Keichb. Stob Ban (97). — P. trivial is L. (fide 

 Haeckel). Ascends to over 2000 ft., above Lochan-na-Lairige ; 

 and to 2500 ft., on Cam Liath. 



Asplenkim viride Huds. Grows near Inchnadamph as low down 

 as 400 ft., with Polystiehum Lonchitis Roth. 



* A thy Hum alpestre Milde. E. side of Ben Klibreck (107). 



*Equisetum sylvaticum L., var. capillare Hoffm. Lawers (88) ; 

 much less frequent than the type. Nyman apparently places this as 

 a mere synonym of sylvaticum; but Fries (Mantissae) and Lange 

 ('Danske Flora/ ed. iv. Appendix), treat it as a very well-marked 

 variety. I believe that I saw it near Marburg, Hesse, some years 

 ago. — *E. variegation Scheich., a. armarium Newman. By the 

 Traligill, near Inchnadamph (108). 



SHORT NOTES. 



Some new Rubi Records for 1887. — Prof. Babington has just 

 named or confirmed my naming of the following ; all, I believe, 

 new county records. For Berks : — R. nitidus W. & N. Snelsmore 

 Common, in plenty. — R. incurvatus Bab., R. carpinif alius W. & N., 

 and R. saxicolus P. J. Mull. Cold Ash Common. — R. villicaulis var. 

 pavipiuosus Lees, and R. corylifolius var. fasciculatus P. J. Mull. 

 Beedon Wood. For South Hants : — R. nitidus var. hamulosus P. J. 

 Mull., and R. thyrsijlorus Wirtg. (? & Genev., but probably not 

 Focke). Lyndhurst'Road, New Forest ; both in great quantity. 

 R. cordif alius Genev. (non Focke). Wood east of Hern Railw<v 

 Station. For Dorset : — R. nitidus W. & N. and R. praruptorurn 

 Boul. Wareham and Bere Road. — R. hemistemon P. J. Mull. 

 Heath west of Poole Junction. — R. thyrsoideus var. fragrans Focke. 

 Branksome Avenue.— R. mutabilis Genev. Sutton Holms. Of these 

 last fray ram was found by Mr. T. R. Archer Briggs ; mutabilis by Mr. 

 J. C. Mansel-Pleydell and me ; nitidus and pmruptorum by us three. 

 The S. Hants plants were all found by Mr. Briggs and me, while 

 the Berks ones and the Dorset hemistemon were of my collecting. 

 Prof. Babington has also now named pmruptorum, a bramble found

(p. 23) Mr. Druce substitutes for this name that of C. appromma^ 

 Hoppe (1800). But I see from Nyman that there is another 6. 

 approximates Hoppe (1795), a variety of C. ericetorum Poll. There- 

 fore the proposed change involves the adoption of an ambiguous 

 name, and can hardly be pressed. — Edward S. Marshall. 



The Nomenclature of Sparganium (p. 115).— In the haste 

 which preceded my leaving England at the end of March for some 

 weeks, I did not observe that Mr. Druce had added a sentence to 

 the proof of his note on this matter which materially affects 

 Mr. Beeby's note immediately following it. Mr. Beeby is made to
