Our set of the Welwitseh plants enables me to dispose of the 

 names of the Apontamentoa which are left doubtful by Dr. Hull, r :— 



1. oleruceti Welw. Apont. 589 (Herb. 6121! 6252 ! \ = L ocilif»lh 

 Chois. "Herba cocta imprimis cum piscibus anatis mixta, a 

 nigritis ob saporem gratum valde laudatum olus." Welw. MS. 



/. Mendesii Welw. I.e. 584 (Herb. 6205-6208 !) = I. palmata 

 Forsk. 



1. geminiflora Welw. I. c. 590 (6235 !). This number is referred 

 doubtfully by Dr. Hallier to the plant for which he adopts the name 

 I. hispida Boem. & Schultes, but is not that species. I shall have 

 more to say of it later. 



/. multisecta Welw. I. c. 589, doubtfully referred by Dr. Hallier 

 to 1. coptica, is certainly that species. Welw. 6253, cited by Dr. 

 Hallier, is the type of Welwitsch's plant.

SHORT NOTES. 

 Introduced Plants in S.W. Subbey, — In view of the rapid rate 

 of increase by which such aliens as Erigeron canadense and Grepis 

 taraxacifolia have recently become widely spread in the neighbour- 

 hood, it may be interesting to note some of the less conspicuous 

 introductions which are more or less permanent, and which might 

 under favourable conditions increase in a similar way. In sandy fields 

 along the Tillingbourne Valley occur Alysmm ealycinam," SiLene 



Cnu-gaUi, and Setaria viridis. In and about a waste field adjacent 

 to Gomshall Tannery, and perhaps introduced with materials for 



;. . 



Lepidium ruderale, Hernioria hlr^utn, Trig n< hi cmiUn, M> I tus 

 parviflora, Centaurea solstitialis, Anagallis catrulea, Amaranthm 

 retrojiexus and Lolium ternulentum. Another remarkable alien, 

 which, however, is unlikely to spread far, is Anemone Hepatiea, 

 which has become established over some twenty or thirty yards 

 of ground in a chalky wood above Shiere.— S. T. Dunn. 



Additions to S.W. Surrey. — Poterium muricatum, downs E. 

 of Guildford and above Gomshall; Lonieera Caprifolium, bushy 

 ground by the Tillingbourne, below Shiere; Cnicus arvensis var. 

 setosus, in plenty near E. Shalford; Mentha »ylvestris, near 

 Wonersh ; M. viridis, Albury ; Chenopodium murale, Gomshall. — 

 S. T. Dunn. 



Gloucestershire Aliens. — Two remarkable localities for aliens 

 in Gloucestershire are described in this Journal at pp. 86 and 111, 

 1883. Another rich field for such plants is St. Philips Marsh, 

 Bristol, a large fiat tract of waste ground not far from the G.W.R. 

 station. A great part is densely covered with DiplotaxU tenuifoha, 

 and with this the following aliens occur -.—Lepidium ruderale,
