^ 0¥ SOME SPECIES OF THLASPL 



By - John Windsor. 



In the "Naturalist for June 1st, I offered a few remarks on Thlaspi 

 odpestre as it occurs in'Teesdale, near Settle, and at Matlock. In that 

 ^aper I probably spoke sufficiently respecting the form and development of 

 tbe pouch and style, which I find to be about the same in each locality ; nor 

 is there any particular distinction in other parts of the plant. 



On the 2nd of this month (June) I visited Matlock and found the 

 Thlaspi, accompanied, as it often is, by Arenaria verna, in considerable 

 plenty. 



Several of the specimens were quite equal in height to the two or three 

 I have had an opportunity of seeing from Teesdale, thus confirming the idea 

 I expressed before, that the stature of the plants chiefly, although not entirely, 

 depended on age or approach to maturity.
