BOTANY OF WILTS. 



A note has been received from the Rev. T. F. Ravenshaw, Rector of Pewsey, 

 correcting an error into which he had fallen with reference to finding the plant 

 " Bunium Bulbocastanum" on the Downs near Pewsey. On making further 

 enquiry, at the suggestion of Mr. T, Bruges Flower, Mr. Ravenshaw now finds 

 that he was under an erroneous impression with reference to the above plant, 

 and desires to prevent further propagation of the error, by publishing this 

 statement. It is not as yet known as a Wiltshire plant. [Eds.]
