approach specimens named viedia by Prof. Babington. It is 

 dangerous to say too much on dried specimens, but I have had 

 no chance of seeing the plant in a living state. — A. Bennett. 



Tulipa sylvestris, L. Hampshire. I believe this to be in- 

 digenous in the locality I found it ; viz., an old chalk pit, far 

 away from any houses, but not far from the high-road. I was 

 told of the locality by an old botanist of 80 years, who thought 

 it indigenous. It used to grow in White's park at Selborne, but 

 no flowers have appeared for many years, though, I believe, a 

 few leaves still come up. Prof. Bell, who afterwards occupied 

 White's house, believed the plant to be really wild. He trans- 

 planted the last flower that showed itself into his garden. — 

 J. Vaughan, Alton, Hants. 



Potamogeton zostercBfolius, Schum. Fenny, Stratford, Bucks., 

 July 23rd, 1883. — Miss D. M. Higgins. The true plant, with 

 characteristic spikes and fruits. — A. Bennett. 



Zannichellia pedunculala, Reichb. Canal, Bridgwater, July, 

 1888. — H. S. Thompson. I should name this Z. gibberosa, 

 Reichb., or near it. Z. pedunculala has not only the individual 

 fruits with pedicels, but a peduncle to the group of fruits, 

 and the style is also longer than true pedunculala. — A. Bennett. 



Carex paludosa, Good., var. Kochiana, Gaud. Brandon, Suf- 

 folk, June, 1887.— J. D. Gray. Not good.— A. Bennett. 



Bromus mollis^ L., var. glabrescens, Coss. Swansea, Glamor- 

 ganshire, May, 1888.— W. R. Linton. Correct, I think.— 

 A. Bennett. 



Asplenium lanceolalum, Huds., var. } Granite Walls, near 

 Penzance, July, 1888. — H. S. Thompson. Seems to be between 

 the type and b. obovalum, G. and G. — A. Bennett.
