The accompanying poor specimen was gathered in the salt marsh op- 
posite the entrance to the East Avenue to Blair Castle, Culross.” —

Sison Amomum, Linn. “Penrith, Cumberland.”- -J. E. Robin- 
son, 1872. 
CEnanthe lachenalii , Gmel. “ I send specimens of this as being 
from an inland station and new to the county of Surrey. It was found 
by Mr. Arthur Bennett and myself on Mitcham Common last August 
in considerable abundance. August, 1875.” — AY. H. Beeby. 
Seseli Libanotis , Koch. — “On the rampart of the Homan camp 
called ‘Arbury Banks,’ near Ashwell, Herts. The plant seems to 
be in danger of extermination, as the ‘ rampart ’ is a steep bank about 
three yards wide between two fields, and will in course of years be 
gradually ploughed level. The plants quite covered the banks this 
season.” — Thomas B. Blow, 1874. 
Adoxa Moschatellina , Linn., in fruit. “ Specimens in fruit are pro- 
bably rare in herbaria. These are somewhat unsatisfactory from their 
having been gathered when it had become rather too mature. Hear 
Plymouth I believe the fruit is more frequently produced than the 
books would lead us to believe is generally the case. I suspect it is 
often overlooked from its inconspicuous colour, and through its gene- 
rally being overshadowed by ranker vegetation.’’ — T. R. Archer 
Briggs, 1872. 
Galium anglicum , Huds. “ Prom the only Herts locality, Brocket 
Park wall, near Lemsford. Though there are many hundred yards of 
wall the plant occurs only in one place, where, for the space of five 
or six yards it is plentiful. It has been observed for many years.” — 
Thomas B. Blow. 
Carduus. “ Hybrid between nutans and crispus ? From a waste 
spot by an old limestone quarry between Hay Farm and Elburton. 
This is certainly not true nutans. Its height and slender habit made it 
look very different when growing. It was gathered near the field that 
produced the somewhat similar plants I forwarded to the Club last 
year.” — T. R. Archer Briggs, 1873. 
Carduus. “In a hollow on Deal sandhills, Kent, growing among 
dense bushes of Hippophae rhamnoides , and with Carduus palustris and 
rank grass. Ho other thistle seen near. So dense was the Hippo 
phae that I found it impossible to get at the root of the single speci- 
men found, this had six stems from one root.” — A. Bennett, August, 
1873. “This thistle is probably a hybrid between C. palustris and 
C. acaulis . It resembles the caulescent var. of the latter, but has the 
leaves more finely divided, and the cauline ones slightly decurrent,
