 Institution of South Wales for their kindness in allowing- me 

 to publish these details. 



Vernacular Names of PSants (ante, p. 4). — Is there any use in 

 chronicling- these names if they are in Britten and Holland's ' Plant Names,' 

 Dialect Society? If there is, and what are quoted below are not in Britten 

 and Holland, then in Cumberland : — 



Melilotus alba Des. is at Working-ton, apparently, 'Bee Flower,' 'King 

 Clover.' 



Vicia hirsuta Koch. 'Traddah,' which, according to the lateW. Hodgson, 

 A.L.S., is also applied to V. Cracca, and 'other tethery plants of the same 

 order. ' 



Spircza Filipendula L. fi. pleno. ' Lady's Ruffles' at Carlisle, according 

 to the Rev. Hilderic Friend. 



Sempervivum tectorum L. is ' Syphelt of the dalesfolk.' 



These instances are taken from Hodgson's ' Flora of Cumberland,' 1898, 

 pp. 82, 88, 95, and 126. No doubt there are more in the same book, but 

 anyone interested had better see the volume mentioned above, i.e., Britten 

 and Holland, and then fill the gaps ; I have no access to it. — S. L. Petty, 

 Ulverston, 3rd January 1902. 



[If possible Mr. Petty's suggestion should be acted upon, but Britten and 

 Holland's book is not accessible to everyone. Moreover, it seems desirable 

 that names already chronicled in that work may be recorded again, where 

 the record extends our knowledge of the actual geographical range of the 

 name. In fact, whenever the record tends to greater precision. — Eds. Nat.] 



Juntas compressus at Brandon, Line. S.— On the 17th August 

 I unexpectedly found Juncus compressus Jacq. growing" on the edge of a 

 road in Brandon parish, Div. 15. Though I frequently pass that way, I had 

 not seen it before ; perhaps the very wet season mav have caused it to 

 flourish, the road having- been for some months in a constant state of slush, 

 caused by the overflowing of a pond in an adjacent held. This is a fourth 

 record for the county. — S. C. Stow, Court Leys, Brandon, Grantham, 

 20th September 1902.
