Vkia latea - Bab. p. 13. " Gathered on the road-side be- 



yond Midford, by the Rev. R. Richardson, 

 and reported by him to Dr. Davies. Not 

 observed of late years, and possibly extinct." 

 — T. B. F. 



Lathyrus hirsutus. - Bab. Supp., p. 75. Inserted by error in the 



Flora Bathoniensis, as well as in many of 

 the British Floras, as regards the Pensford 

 locality, the Vicia Uthynica having appa- 

 rently been mistaken for it. The true 

 Lathyrus hirsutus is not known to grow any- 

 where in this country, except in Essex. 

 A mistake. See Bab. Supp., p. 75. 

 - Bab., p. 14. Said to have been found by 

 Dr. Davies " in moist hedges about Small- 

 combe Wood." Either a mistake, or now 

 lost by drainage. 

 Bab., p. 21. "A single plant, only observed 

 in the Canal by Dr. Heneage Gibb6. Has 

 long since disappeared." — T. B. F. 

 Bab., p. 21. Said, in the Flora Bathoniensis, 

 to be "frequent on dry banks and pas- 

 tures," but neither Mr. Broome, nor Mr. 

 Flower, nor myself ever met with it. It 

 grows at Hanham, but must be considered 

 a very doubtful native of the Bath district. 



Carduus tenuiflcrrus. Bab., p. 27. Said to have been found on tke 



" banks of the canal," by Dr. Da'vies ; but 

 Mr. Flower remarks that Dr. Davies, a few 

 years since, could give him no information 

 about this species, and he considers it as 

 " probably an error." 



Gentiana campestris Bab. Supp., p. 83. Dr. R. G. Alexander, on 



whose authority this species rests, informs 

 Mr. Flower, the plant in question should 

 be referred to G. amarella. The G. cam- 

 pestris must therefore be erased from the 

 Bath Flora.
