is V. collinum Schrader, V. seminigrum Fries in part and the V. 
nigro lychiitis of Babington the V. Schiedianum of Koch, all three 
being hybrids between Y. nigrum and the other species. 
Gentiana germanica. Sent by Mr. A. G. More, from the 
neighbourhood of Tring, both Bucks and Herts. The result of the 
examination of a considerable series of specimens from different 
parts of the Continent, is a conviction that the presence of a stalk 
to the capsule, which as been regarded as a mark by which this may 
be distinguished from G. Amarella, is valueless as a diagnostic 
character. It is sometimes present in the small flowered G. Amar- 
ella , and in the large flowered G. germanica every variation may be 
traced from a barely perceptible stalk to one half an inch in length. 
Orobanche minor. Sent by Mr. Embleton, from a clover- 
field near Wark worth, Northumberland, the examples gathered by 
Mr. Jno. Chrisp. New to the Tyne province. 
Plantago Timbali Jordan. Sent by Mr. H. C. Watson 
from Thames Litton, Surrey, from amongst sowu clover. Probably 
not uncommon, but very easily passed over as ordinary P. lanceolata. 
Neotinea intacta Reich fil. This is an Orchidaceous plant 
which was added to the British Plora, by Miss P. M. Moz’e,'wlio gath- 
ered it in May last, at Castle Taylor, County Galway. There is an 
account of it by Professor Beichenbach in the January number of 
the Journal of Botany, accompanied by a coloured figure. Only 
some half dozen specimens have yet been gathered. It is not very 
closely allied to any previously known British species, but was 
formerly referred by Bindley to Aceras. It is a plant of Asia Minor, 
the Canaries, Northern Africa, Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and 
the South of Prance, so that its discovery in Ireland is of great 
geographical interest, and it is remarkable that, as Mr. More in- 
forms us, it is accompanied in Galway by a South European insect, 
Anthrocera Minos. 
Potamogeton filiformis. Sent by Mr. A. G. More, from 
Lough Cullen, County Mayo. New to Ireland, and the true plant 
apparently quite rare in Scotland. 
P. flabellatus. Sent by both Mr. J. E. Whalley and Mr. . 
G. E. Hunt, from the Bridgewater Canal, near Eccles, Lancashire,
