the upper portions of these specimens, they are clearly the margi- 
nata of “ Eng. Bot.,” by the seeds. Mr. Chas. Bailey sends a large 
number of specimens from the “ edges of a tidal drain on the eastern 
side of the Llandudno Bailway, near Castell Diganwy, N. Carnarvon- 
shire,” some of which have the youngest pedicels and calyces more or 
less hairy, the hairs mostly disappearing as the parts mature, and 
never forming a noticeable feature, as in the Plymouth examples.

Spergularia rupestris , Lon. Cat., var. b. glabrescens, Lebel. “ Cliff 
by Bigbury Bay, below Kingston, S. Devon, July, 1875.” Clearly 
rupestris ( rupicola , Bab. Man.) by habit and seeds, but with the 
glandular hairs so reduced as to make the plant seem quite glabrous at 
first sight, yet careful examination shows short glandular hairs on the 
inflorescence. It is, I have little doubt, the glabrescens of Lebel, thus 
referred to by Brebisson in his “ Flore de la Normandie ” (p. 5 7, ed. 
4) : “ Cette forme a peu pres glabre, excepte sur l’inflorescence, est 
signalee a Gatteville (Manche) comme tres-rare par M. le Dr. Lebel.”

Althcea hirsuta, Linn. “ Butleigh Wood, near Somerton, N. 
Somerset, 1875.”— J. G. Baker. (See Journ. Bot., vol. iv., n.s., 
p. 35 8 ) 
Malva borealis, Wallm. “ Boadside near Antony Village, E. Corn- 
wall, Aug., 1875.” From the spot where it also grew in 1874. Noticed 
springing up again there in April, 1876. — T. B. A. B. 
Malva parvifiora , Linn. “Brickfield, Ware, Herts, August, 1875.” 
— T. B. Blow. Bightly named, I believe. — J. T. Boswell. 
Gerayxium striatum, Linn. “ Poltesco Valley, Lizard, W. Corn- 
wall, July, 1875.” — J. Cttnnack. Doubtless originally an escape. 
About Plymouth this Geranium is quite established in several spots 
near old houses. It is clearly not an indigenous species, though now 
more frequent here than pratense or phceum. — T. R. A. B. 
Sarothamnus scoparius, Koch, b. prostratus. “ This may be had 
in any quantity near the Lizard Lights, W. Cornwall. I have sent a 
number of large specimens in fruit.” — J. Cunnack . 
Trigonella ornithopodioides, DC. “ Malvern Link, Worcestershire, 
May, 1875. This plant has not been previously reported from Wor- 
cestershire. I found it growing in several places among the grass on 
Malvern Link. It was first pointed out to me by Mr. W. J. Smith, 
of Worcester, a young man of great promise, who has been cut off 
since I gathered it by aneurism of the heart.” — J. Fraser, M.D. 
Trifolium Bocconi, Savi. “ Near Lizard Point, W. Cornwall. I 
have found this very rare plant in considerable quantity in two new 
stations near the Lizard. I have met with it in five places, and
