FIELD MEETINGS, 19o2

1. Siilix lierhacPd tlip most soiithorly liamit of the species in 
[Britain. Its I'e-discovery in South Wales was my own; tlie last reeoi'd 
for the plant, at the National jMiisenm of Wales, is dated 1894. 
2. Sorbiis muhima a naiTow Welsh endemic, is extremely abundant 
on the cliffs oi C raig-y-C ilau, extending westwards to Craig-y-Castell. 
Last year a second locality was di.scovered by me three miles fnither 
west along the Carboniferous limestone outcj’op — in Cwm Claisfer. There 
are about a score of fine shnibs in this new locality. 
<1. Sorbus leptophylla — another Welsh endemic, but having a gi'cater 
range than S. witviniu \ is known from Craig-y-Cilau, Ci'aig-y-Nos (Swan- 
sea valley), and now from Cwm Clydaeh also. All three localities are 
on the limestone “rim”. 
4. SorJjiis nnglica ajid S. porngentifoidiiis — newly recorded from 
Cwm Clydaeh. 
5. Circaea alpirui — newly recorded from Craig-y-Cilan, although I 
have recently found the species in fair (|uantity in Cwm idanelen, south 
of Abergavenny, also on the Carboniferous limestone. 
6. Monotropa hypopitys in the beechwood at Cwm Clydaeh consti- 
tute a new record for Breconshire. Unfortunately, at the time of di.s- 
covery, it was not realized that two species of Monotropa are now 
recognised and the single specimen was not critically examined. 
7. Lenina polyrrhiza and L. trisuha from Llyn Safaddan are new 
records for Breconshire. 
Dr. Jones has communicated to me the following information con- 
cerning the bryophytes met with in the course of the meeting: 
“We did not manage to find Bryuin ge nun i paruin in the Grwyne: 
I find that all Lej^’s specimens which are in the herbarium here (at 
Oxford) come from the Usk 'near Brecon’, so perhaps it is not abundant 
in the Grwyne. What we did both gather in the Grwyne and at 
Llanbedr however was Fissidens rivularis. This was not unexpected, 
since I had already found this very rare plant to be frequent on Old 
Red Sandstone in the Wye valley between Tintern and Monmouth; 
prior to my finding it in that region, it was known from only two 
solitary stations in Great Britain, and a few scattered localities in 
Europe. A Fissidens which is apparently extremely abundant in the 
Grwynes and fruiting beautifully at present is F. rvfuhis. This is like- 
wise an exceedingly local species, known from oidy a few' stations in 
Europe; it has been recorded from the Usk valley and several other 
places in the di, strict, but there has always been a certain amount of 
doubt attached to the identity of the South Wales plants. As far as I 
can see, there is no reason for doubt. 
“The Cololeieunea from Cwm Clydaeh is C. calcar ea — new to the 
county. The Seligeria from Pen Cerig (’alch is S. acufifoHa, and the 
AinbI ysfeginni. is ,4. spriicei — not new county records. Tn many ways 
the most exciting find was Seligeria tristicha from Craig-y-Cilau — 
hitherto known in Britain only in one or two localities in Derbyshire. 
Yorkshire, and Perth; thus Brecon is a considerable extension of range. 
Barbula recurvifolia from Craig-y-Cilau is another new county record.
