SHORT NOTES. 



Cerastidm pumilum in Wilts.— A Cerastium which I found on 

 the downs in S. Wilts in May last has been certified by Mr. J. G. 

 Baker to be C. pumilum Curtis. I should be glad to correct an 

 error m my notice of some Wilts plants in Journ. Bot. 1887, p. 55, 

 where Hypocharis radicata should be H. ;,labm.—\V. A. Clarke. 



Note on Buckinghamshire Rubi.— So few Rubi are on record 

 from Buckinghamshire that I send a note of the forms I saw during 

 a walk on July 12th, in the south of the county: — Ii. Lindleianus, 

 thickets at Burnham Beeches and by the roadside between Farn- 

 liain Royal and Stoke Pogis. R. cordifoliua Angl, the commonest 

 bramble of the more exposed thickets at Burnham Beeches.
