NOTES— FLOWERING PLANTS. 



The Ingleborough Junipsr. — In looking over my specimens of 

 Juniperus I find I have one, gathered on Ingleborough, 21st April 1897, 

 which seems in almost every respect to answer Sowerby's description of 

 J. nana. This plant is not recorded in Lees' Flora of West Yorkshire, and 

 I do not know whether it has been recorded since the publication of the book. 



The habii of the plant I cannot call to mind ; as I simply took the 

 specimen for J. communis, I did not think of noticing" anything' particular. 

 But the leaves are shorter, broader, and more distinctly ' boat-shaped ' than 

 in specimens gathered on. the chalk downs of the south of England; the 

 acumination is much more abrupt, especially in the older leaves, and the incur- 

 vation and imbrication of the leaves approaches typical J. nana. The berries 

 are as long' as or longer than the leaves, and slightly longer than broad. 

 It presents a very striking contrast to the south of England specimens of 

 /. communis , and though I have not found J. nana in its better-known 

 habitats, yet I do not doubt that this is what I gathered — perhaps not quite 

 typical in form — on Ingleborough in 1897. — H. J. Riddelsdell, St. Michael's 

 College, Aberdare, South Wales, 24th October 1900. 



J. nana is a mere variety of J. communis. It occurs in a typical form, 

 dwarf and adpressed to the rocks on the limestone pavement of Whitbarrow 

 and the other limestone hills south of Kendal, the vegetation of which is 

 very similar to that of Ing-leborough. — J. G. Baker. 



Extraordinary Number of Wild Flowers in November. — To-day, 

 in a ramble from South Elm-sail through Brodsworth and to Adwick-le- 

 Street, no less than 49 species of wild flowers were noted. This seems to 

 me to be a record worth making' for the first day of November 1900. A full
