SHORT NOTES. 



Cystopteris fkagilis in Suffolk. — In Hind's Flora of Suffolk, 

 p. 420, it is stated that Newman records this, but without locality, 

 and the only localities given are M Bungay, Moore, 1859 ?" and 

 11 Yoxford, Moore? 17 In Mrs. Lyell's recent Life of Sir C. J. F. 

 Bunbury (ii. 181), Bunbury, writing from Barton to Sir Charles 

 Lyell on Nov. 5, 1863, says : " About a week ago Scott brought me 

 some leaves of a fern, which he had found growing on the brickwork 

 lining of an old wall, very near here ; it proved to be the Cystopteris 

 fragilis, a fern which I had never before seen in Suffolk ; and which 

 I believe is generally rare in the plains of England/' It may be 

 noted that the Life contains many allusions to and particulars con- 

 cerning Bentham, with whom Bunbury was on intimate terms, and 

 for whom he evidently had much affection ; his name does not 

 appear in the index (nor, so far as I have noticed, in the text) of 

 Mr. Jackson's memoir, noticed in this Journal for November last. 

 James Britten.

Plants of Wybunbury, Cheshire. — In July, 1905, I spent a 

 day or two in the above neighbourhood, when I was accompanied 

 by Mr. A. H. Evans, and we were delighted to see that the 

 M Moss " still offers much of botanical interest. The cranberry 

 was fruiting freely, and the flowers of the beautiful Androyneda 

 were a great delight. Last) ma Thelypteris is still abundant, although 

 L. cristata appears to have been eradicated. In the following 

 notes plants new to district 6 of the Flora of Cheshire are indicated 

 by an asterisk; two asterisks indicate what is apparently a new county 

 record. Where no locality is given the plant was found in the 



Journal of Botany, — Vol. 45. [Jan. 1907.] J>
