SHORT NOTES. 
Damasontum sTELLATUM IN LercestersHire. — No mention is 
made of this species in the Flora of Leicestershire, published in 
1886, and I was unaware until recently that it had been recorded 
as a Leicestershire plant. A short time since, while exa gras a 
Bloxam = and catalogues deposited at the Leicester Mus 
some.years ago, I came across a list of species atte in vieigith 
parts of the county by the Rev. . Blox = who notes that Actino- 
carpus Damasonium occurs among reeds at Groby Pool. The date of 
the catalogue is Appa but it is Sc hahis ee 1828. There is 
no reco rd of the plant havin so been found at Groby since Mr. 
cise species ‘in “England, and the editor in a footnote adds 
that it is of uncertain occurrence. This last remark leads one to 
hope that the plants may yet be re-discovered at Groby, as there 
seems no reason to doubt that it was found there. I ought to 
add, however, eu the pool a been ee duced in area, 
owing to the growth of reeds, and i not caikele that the 
eae a" plants, there a specimen of the Damasonium 
apparently of Mr. Bloxam’s Secnarnr9 bak, unfortunately, this is 
°" The species, so far as I can gather, does not seem 
have been noted in any of the counties bordering Leicestershire.—

more than cream-coloured—flowers was exhibited as “new ” at the

ere of about three or Bar plants whieh I visited regularly tor the
