BRISTOL BOTANY IN 1915 AND 1916. 
201 
Polygonum Raii Bab. On the shore near Berrow ; an extension 
of range noticed by the same botanists and at the same time as 
the last-mentioned species. 
Rumex maximus Schreb. (R. Hydrolapathum var. latifolius 
BorrerJ Sparingly near Shirehampton, G., Miss Roper. And 
by the Avon near Saltford, S. ! C. Bucknall. 
Daphne Mezereum L. The Mezereon still exists on Churchill 
Batch, whence it was believed to have been lost. Two plants 
have been found by Mr. T. H. Green. Eaker Hill Wood, Chew- 
ton Mendip, B. W. Tucker. Miss Roper has seen it there. 
Viscum album L. The rarity of Mistletoe upon the Oak 
renders its occurrence in Leigh Woods, S., a matter of general 
interest. Miss Roper (Journ. Bot. LIV., p. 88) describes the 
presence of a large bunch near the top of a tree ( Quercus 
intermedia) about 50 ft. in height and probably more than a 
century old. 
Paris quadrifolia L. A new station, in a wood adjoining 
Beggar's Bush Lane, S., which, if the plant be lost from Leigh 
Woods, will be the nearest to Bristol, is supplied by Mr. Harold 
Robbins. 
Galanthus nivalis, L- Large patches of snowdrops flower in 
a stretch of open woodland between Wraxall and Cadbury Camp, 
and there are some also in an adjoining orchard. The moss- 
covered remains of ancient buildings and enclosures seem to 
show that at a long past period the neighbouring farmstead had 
been a holding of greater importance than at present, provided 
probably with extensive shrubberies and gardens now lost and 
overgrown. 
] uncus maritimus Lam. An old record for Portishead that 
has remained unconfirmed since its publication by Mr. S. Free- 
man in 1841, is now upheld by the Rev. E. EHman, who has 
observed several clumps of this plant on the coast north of Portis- 
head Pill. 
/. tenuis Willd. This lately-discovered rush has been observed 
growing freely not only along the riverside under Leigh Woods, 
but about paths and tracks on the high ground in the interior of 
the wood. A few tufts in the valley leading up from one station 
to the other apparently form connecting links. 
Potamogeton pusillus L. Miss Roper has detected this 
pondweed at Eastville Park in the lake, which is connected with 
the river Frome. This may be regarded, therefore, as a confir- 
mation of Thwaites' old record in Swete's Fl. Brist. The station 
is the only one known in our Gloucestershire division. 
Wolffia Michelii Schleid. (W. arrhiza WimmJ The most 
interesting addition that has been made of late years to the flora
