Hordeum  sylvaticum,  Huds.  In  an  open  wood  near 
Symonds  Yat,  W.  Glos.,  v.c.  34,  17  June,  1904. — S.  H. 
Bickham. 
H.  Caput-medusae,  Lt.  and  B.  Blaby  Mill,  Leicestershire, 
v.c.  55?  9  June,  1904. —  W.  A.  Vice.  Named  by  Prof. 
Hackel. 
Trichomanes  radicans,  Sw.  Merionethshire,  v.c.  48,  Aug., 
1904. — A.  J.  Crosfield. 
Equisetum  hyemale,  L.  Sandy  field,  Weston-super-Mare, 
N.  Somerset,  v.c.  6,  17  Sept.,  1904. — H.  W.  Pugsley. 
Reported  in  the  “FI.  Bath  Suppl.”  by  Dr.  Davis  as  occurring 
“  On  the  canal  bank  ”  near  Bath.  The  Rev.  R.  P.  Murray 
in  his  FI.  of  Somerset,  p.  406,  1896,  remarks  “  Probably  a 
misnomer.”  This  species  is  a  very  rare  plant  in  the  South. 
It  occurs  in  plenty  in  Surrey  (Salmon  sp.),  and  I  have  seen 
specimens  from  East  Kent.  Both  this  and  E.  arenarium , 
Newman,  were  found  by  Messrs.  Murray  and  White  in  1901, 
and  recorded  in  the  Exchange  Club  Report  for  1901.  Mr. 
White  remarks  “  Probably  unknown  in  the  County  until 
observed,  as  I  understand,  by  Mr.  Corder  of  Taunton.”  It 
is  not  named  as  a  Weston  plant  in  Dr.  St.  Brody’s  “  Flora  of 
Weston,”  1856.— A.B. 
E.  variegatum,  Schleich.  (1)  Waste  ground,  near 
Railway,  Weston-super-Mare,  N.  Somerset,  v.c.  6,  28  Sept., 
1 90 1 . — E.  S.  Gregory.  This  is  the  form  usually  called 
arenarium,  Newman. — H.  and  J.G.  (2)  Sandy  fields,  Weston- 
super-Mare,  17  Sept.,  1904. — H.  W.  Pugsley.  In  the  “  Flora 
of  Somerset”  this  is  quoted  from  Top.  Bot.,  ed.  2,  for  N. 
Somerset,  with  no  locality  known.  I  do  not  remember 
whether  it  has  been  reported  since.  It  is  the  ordinary 
form.-  E.F.L.  This  occurs  in  Devonshire  on  the  cliffs  near 
Salcombe,  and  was  reported  for  “  Somerset  north  ?  ”  in 
Topi.  Botany.  On  this  the  Rev.  R.  P.  Murray,  “  FI. 
Somerset,”  p.  406,  remarks  “  I  have  no  further  information.” 
I  have  some  recollection  of  its  having  been  so  reported  to 
one  of  the  meetings  of  the  Phytological  Club  circa  1845-6, 
but  am  not  sure,  and  cannot  put  my  hand  on  the  reference. 
Farther  north  its  next  occurrence  is  in  Carnarvon  !  and 
Anglesea ! — A.B.
