BRISTOL BOTANY IN 1915 AND 1916. 
203 
Festuca arundinacea Schreb. A first record for North 
Somerset is supplied by Miss Agnes Fry, who detected a clump 
of the true plant near Ladye Bay, Clevedon. Miss Roper reports 
it from another spot at a little distance from that first noticed. 
Ceterach ofjicinarum Willd. Bifid and trifid fronds, so fre- 
quent on plants of the allied genus Scolopendrium, are, in my 
experience, extremely rare with this fern. Miss L,ee, of Bristol 
University, has lately discovered the variation on a wall at 
Kelston, S. She shewed also at a meeting of the Botanical Club 
good examples of the var. crenatum Milde. 
Lycopodium Selago L,. Discovered on Blackdown, Mendip, by 
Mrs. and Mr. N. Sandwith with Mr. T. H. Green. Three plants 
were seen at the beginning of May ; but since that date I under- 
stand that many others have been noticed in several distinct 
patches.
