SHORT NOTES. 



Alchemilla vulgaris L. in Kent. — This plant was found by 

 Dae in June of last year on the borders of Broadhoath Wood, near 

 Seal, Kent. It is not recorded, for Kent in ' Topographical 

 Botany.'—H. W. Monington. 



Polygonum maritmuji still in S. Hants. — Mr. Bolton King, 

 as well as the readers of the Journal generally, will be glad to learn 

 that this plant is not yet extinct on the coast near Christchurch. 

 After a comparatively short search, I had the good fortune to see it 

 there to-day, — one vigorous branching plant, which may well 

 beco me the parent of many more. Others, I should hope, may 

 s "h exist here and there along so great a stretch of suitable 

 ground— W. Moyle Bogers. 



East Kent Plants. — A week in this vice-county during last 

 June yielded the following records, apparently new to it -.—Papaver
