BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB. 
Astrantia major, Linn. Old quarry at Lambhill, near Glasgow, 
June, 1876. I gathered this in the same station twelve years ago; 
at that time there were no houses within a considerable distance, 
and certainly no gardens. There was then one tolerably large 
patch, with a few isolated plants scattered about. This year I 
found it in large quantity growing luxuriantly. The only other 
plant, possibly an introduction, near it was Pyrola minor: It also 
was there on my first visit. The place is well wooded. — G. Horn. 
Helosciadiiim Moorei? Lache Eyes, near Chester, July, 1875. 
I suppose this will do for the above name. It is a noteworthy plant 
when seen in the water. In fact my first impression was that I had 
got the true Helosciadium repens . — J. L. Warren. This is ordinary 
inundatum. The var. Moorei has the leaf-segments very much 
larger, resembling thosb of small H. nodijlorum or of H. repens . — 
J. T. Boswell. What is meant by this ? It seems to me to be 
only H. inundaUim on mud, not in water. — C. C. Babington. 
(PAianthe pimpinelloides, Linn. Cliffs near Sidmouth, South 
Devon, May 30, 1876. A most luxuriant form, growing in patches, 
with rose-tinted flowers and stems three feet high, in long coarse 
grass close to the edge of the sea-cliff'. Most of the heads in bud 
only, but a few with a flower or two open. On August 11, 1876, I 
found this plant in some abundance in a large park-like field at 
Teffont, South Wilts, growing side by side with Jimcus conylomeratus. 
This locality is eight or nine miles from the Dorset border, and its 
first recorded station in Wilts. Here the plants were all in fmit, 
and already quite destitute of root-leaves. — W. Moyle Eogers. 
TordyHum maximum, L. Marsh ditches, near Tilbury, Essex. 
August, 1876. — Eyre de Crespigny. This plant is a most inte- 
restmg addition to the flora of Essex ; indeed it is very probable 
. that the plant is now extinct in its Middlesex, Oxford, and 
Buckinghamshire stations ; so that but for its appearance in Essex 
it would have to be regarded as extinct in Britain. — J. T. Boswell. 
May it not have been introduced lately at Tilbury, where many 
things are loaded for conveyance by the raihvay ? — C. C. Babington. 
Gcdiuiii MoUuf/(),ljmii., c. Bakeri. Uj)ton Wood, Warwickshire. 
August, 1876. — H. Bromwich. I think it ought to be so named, 
but the leaves are broader than usual. — J. T. Boswell. 
yalerianella carinata, Lois. Walls, Eorder, near Plymouth, 
E. Cornwall. May 16, 1876. — Augustin Ley. This is established 
in plenty as a colonist, if not a native, near Plymouth. In the 
summer of 1876, Mr. Ealfs, of Penzance, found it between 
Plymouth and Lipson, and directed my attention to it. He was 
familiar with its appearance from having previously noticed it 
growing plentifully in the neighbourhood of Penzance. Thus it 
belongs to the 8. Devon, E. Cornwall, and W. Cornwall lists. In 
the spring of the present year I met with it at Bovey Tracey, quite 
on the eastern side of the Dartmoor range of hills. — T. E. A. B. 
Scahiosa maritlma, Linn. Hills above St. Ouen’s Bay, Jersey, 
August, 1876. — T. B. Blow. I hope Mr. Blow has made some 
notes as to whether this has any claims to be considered native in 
this station, or as merely accidentally introduced. — J. T. Boswell.
