county of Hereford, given in the third edition of ‘ English Botany,’ 
should probably be expunged. It was entered on the faith of a speci- 
men received from the Botanical Society of Edinburgh, with the label 
“Near Beading, Herefordshire, W. M‘Tvor.” As I can hear of no 
Beading in Herefordshire, it was probably collected near Beading, 
Berkshire. 
Centaurea Jacea, Linn. ( C . Duboisii, Bor.). “ Three plants were 
found amongst C. nigra , Yarrow and Broom in Kew pleasure-ground, 
near the lake, Surrey.” — J. Gf. Baker. 
Doronicum Pardalianches, Linn. Bight bank of the Devon, below 
the Crook, Perthshire. It grows in the greatest profusion for nearly 
a quarter of a mile along the river-side, being far more plentiful than 
in any other localities in which I have seen it. — J. Boswell Syme. 
Cuscuta Trifolii, Bab. “ Clover fields near Leggieden, Perth.” H. M. 
Drummond Hay. — Colonel Drummond Hay states that this is the 
first season in which he has noticed the Dodder “in this immediate 
neighbourhood.” Last year I observed it in a clover-field between 
Kirkcaldy and Kinghorn. 
Verbascum phlomoides, L. (?). “Near Buxton, Derbyshire.” — 
Augustin Ley. 
Mentha rubra , Sm. “ lloadside, near Ecclesfield, Yorkshire.” — 
W. Carr. 
Pinguicula grandijlora, Lam. “Marsh near Penzance, Cornwall. 
Introduced, but quite established.” — H. M. Drummond Hay. 
Chenopodium rubrum, Linn., var. pseudo-botngoides. “ Shore of 
Kinghorn Lock, Fife. In the utmost profusion on the banks of the 
lock, below the winter level of the water, in a situation quite similar 
to that in which I have collected it, with Mr. H. C. Watson, in 
Surrev. This is the more curious, as I have not met with the normal 
form of C. rubrum in Fife, except as a weed in my own garden, into 
which it was no doubt introduced by seeds adhering to the roots of 
plants brought hither from my former garden in Adelaide Boad, 
London.” — J. Boswell Syme. 
Rumex Hydrolapathum, Huds. “ Banks of the Tay, at Elcho 
Castle, Perth.” — H. M. Drummond Hay. A very scarce plant in 
Scotland, the occurrence of which, in the county of Perth, required to 
be substantiated. There can now be no doubt that the plant grows 
there, and the only question that remains is, whether it be indigenous,
