curator’ s report for 1864.

where it grows along with P. pectinatus. New to the Mersey 
province. 
P. nitens Wrier. This also is a species new to Britain 
which has been found by Dr. Moore in Ireland, and Mr. G. E. Hunt 
in Loch Ascog, in Bute. It has been fully described and figured in 
the Journal of Botany, plate No. 33. Of the previously known 
British species it resembles P. hetrophyllus most, but may be readily 
known by its clasping and broader-based lower leaves and peduncles 
scarcely thickened at the apex. 
Zostera nana. Bound by Mr. A. G. More in Dublin Bay. 
New to Ireland. 
Alopecurus bulhosus. Sent by Dr. Windsor, from the 
Mersey side, between Runcorn and Warrington, the specimens 
gathered by the late Mr. Buxton. Not given by Mr. Watson as a 
Mersey plant. 
Festuca sylvatica. Sent by Mr. A . G. More, from Foxford, 
County Mayo. New to the West of Ireland. 
Polydichum Lonchitis. Both Mr. Embleton and Mr. 
Richardson have sent specimens which unquestionably belong to 
this species, from a station in Northumberland, the exact locality 
of which it is not thought desirable to print, which is within 100 
yards of the sea level. We are not aware of any other English 
locality which brings the species clearly within Mr. Watson’s Mida- 
grarian Zone. That in the county of Durham is at least 300 yards 
higher. 
P. angulare. Mr. Richardson sends also a characteristic 
example of this, which was not previously known clearly as a plant 
of the Tyne province, from the Cauledge woods, near Wooller, 
N orthumberland. 
Ophioylossum vulyatum. Gathered by Mr. J.. G. Baker 
last summer, on the Hambleton Plateau, J^-. E. Yorkshire, at an 
elevation of fully 350 yards above sea level and in the Superagrarian 
Zone. 
Equisetum trachyodon var. Mr. A. G. More sends from the 
banks of Lough Cullen, Mayo, a specimen of an Efuisetum , which 
differs from the typical trachyodon by its looser sheaths with weak 
green teeth. &
