Botanical IRotes. 
By Jas. W. White, FX.S. 
THE Flora of Bristol is receiving additions year by year. For 
191 3, the notes of most importance run as follows : — 
Stellaria palustris Retz. A good additional locality (the plant 
occurring over a space of 40 yards) was found on Nailsea Moor by 
Miss Roper and F. Samson. 
Astragalus danicus Retz. Specimens gathered on Stinchcombe 
Hill have been sent in by Mr. Harford ; and C. Bucknall, with 
Capt. Gordon, has seen it there in small quantity. 
Antennaria dioica Gaertn. A tiny patch in a rough pasture at 
Failand has been pointed out by Mrs. Inglis. 
Hypochceris radicata L. Mrs. Sandwith draws attention to a 
luxuriant glabrous specimen of this plant that occurred on Ashcott 
peat moor. A similar form from the Isle of Wight is mentioned 
by Dr. Syme in English Botany, ed. 3, p. 130. 
Veronica scutellata L. Sparingly on Yate Common; Miss 
Roper. 
Utricularia major Schmid. On the peat in two new spots. 
Quite 30 plants in one of them and not growing with U. vulgaris 
in either instance. 
Static e binervosa G.K.Sm. An entirely new locality, north of 
Kewstoke, has been discovered by F. Samson. 
Car ex divisa Huds. At least a dozen stems appeared last 
summer in the marsh under Sneyd Park. 
Bromus interruptus Druce. Abundant in a field of sown fodder 
on the Tyntesfield estate. New to Bristol. 
Calamagrostis Epigeios Roth. Thos. Clark's old station on the 
peat, near Shapwick, was confirmed by the writer after an interval 
of 70 years. 
Taxus baccata L. The account of notable local Yews given in 
the Flora should have been enriched by the mention of a famous 
tree standing in Alveston Old Churchyard. In Part VIII. of 
Etchings of Views and Antiquities in the County of Gloucester, 
by Samuel Lysons, is a drawing (PI. xvvi.) of Alveston Church 
with the Alveston Yew in the foreground. The plate is dated 1793 
and was one of those cancelled by Lysons when he re-issued this
