THE NATURALIST. 



Allium Schcenoprasum, was very luxuri- 

 ant on tlie rocks at tlie Rill lialf a mile 

 west of Kynance Cove ; and on the moor 

 between this headland and the Cove, they 

 were very small like the specimens from 

 ITorthumberland. It is also remarkable 

 that this rare species has, as yet been seen 

 only in two counties, viz. : — on the north- 

 east on the Kyloe Crags, and on the south- 

 west on the rocks and heathy ground at 

 the Eill. 



The Chenopod from Loe Pool supposed 

 to be C. hotryodes, was not sufficiently ad- 

 vanced to be with certainty determined. 



The fringed leaved heath is remarkable 

 as being the rarest of English heaths, and 

 also for its abundance where it grows. 



Carelew Parkthe residence of Sir Charles 

 Lemon is the station of this rarity. In 

 the second week of August this vegetable 

 beauty was in prime condition, and 

 we have the pleasure of reporting 

 that the courtesy and hospitality of the 

 managers of this domain were liberally 

 extended to the visitors of this fine park. 

 The number of exotic trees growing here in 

 the greatest luxuriance is an evidence of 

 the mildness of this climate and a con- 

 vincing testimony to the knowledge and 



skill of the Land Steward and gardener. 

 The day spent in this pleasant locality 

 Avill ever be marked as one of the red 

 letter days in our botanical calendar. —

M. Jordan's Neiv Work.-— We beg to call 

 the attention of our botanical readers to the 

 advertisement on the cover, of M. Jordan's 

 new work. According to the prospectus 

 issued, the plants figured in this work 

 will be: — First, New and critical species 

 previously designated by M. Jordan in 

 various other works, principally in his 

 Pugillus, and in the first part of vthe 

 Diagnoses d' especes nouvelles ou meconnues. 

 Second . — Those which will appear in the 

 succeeding part of the latter work, and 

 also in the Breviarumplantai'um novarum. 

 And third : — Rare or critical species men- 

 tioned by various authors which are but 

 little known and of which there are no 

 figures extant. 



From the specimen plates which M. 

 Jordan has sent us we are quite satisfied 

 that the work has been well executed, and 

 they will be always valuable for comparison 

 of critical or doubtful species. [Eds. Nat. ]
