THE FLORA OF OXFORDSHIRE. 251 
var, hybrida = = vulgaris x Bip ” * Besides mt: two species, 
**S. crassifolius and ‘ S. vernalis W. & K.” given, 
with a note that « ‘Sbobably 8. Traeahoeni feted Poir. ’ should be 
added to the list. Mr. Druce thinks that all these, with four other 
continental species, are hybrids of Saigitd and squalidus. This 
ems to us likely enough, so far as the Oxford silatib referred to 
are concerned; but a careful consultation of types would be 
necessary before any nr? ponte eS as to the species could be 
“openings established. Meanwhile, if a debt of gratitude is due 
fied Senecio squalidus! Perhaps he may see his way, after a care 
comparison of types, to embody his chachatnnsll in a paper for this 
Journal ote on Gentiana ger merc Faire agmites communis, 
andl Gi Orchis Simia are interesting. The list of Mosses is very full; 
of Rubi seems scanty, and gives us Fis impression that 
- Druce is not quite familiar with this troublesome group ; it 
ll had the 8 i 
on Cumnor Hill, Berks; these owe their origin to a quantity 
of seed scattered by Messrs. Boswell and Holliday about 1860’’— 
@ Most reprehensible act. 
here seems a little a for the of aliens 
and doubtful characters: Cytisus Laburnum, ‘ frequent as a planted 
tree,” Sorbus fennica, iasaod ” Quercus Ilex and Q. Cor ris, “in parks 
and ‘plantations, ” Inglans regia, ‘as a planted tree,” and the os 
would have been better omitt ted. The cron of Phleum asperum 
an Oxfordshire plant is traced to = source in the Botanic Caines 
and one or two other errors are ru arth. 
‘“ Summary ”’ a hay tom more useful had the tabular 
“e oun 
therein, Ver —_ Lychnitis. We have little doubt that Mr. par 
is right in considering Helleborus viridis as native in Oxfor hire 
as it is in Seals, and of this no one who has seen it growing in the 
woods and hedge- bottoms about High Wycombe will have any 
doubt; and it is, we think, equally certain that H. fetidus is native 
in nas though he does not mention it for this border 
coun 
: The biographical notes are remarkably well done, and give much 
interestin ng. ——_ i the Bobarts, Morison, —-
