Mr. Thomas Hancock then communicated some Notes on 
“ Plants found near Bristol, in September 1836.” He thus 
commences : — 
In the following remarks, I intend to mention merely a few 
of the more interesting plants which I met with during an 
excursion with several gentlemen of the British Association, 
as far as Penpool and Blaize Castle, (about eight or ten 
miles North West of Bristol) in the early part of September 
last, commencing with 
Erodium : both cicutarium and moschatum, we found in 
the loamy earth between the crevices of the rocks at Penpool. 
Polygala vulgaris. Pretty common about the fields and 
hedges. 
Lamium maculatum. A rare plant in both Gloucestershire 
and Somersetshire, to be found in only one locality near 
Bristol. Was this originally a native of Britain, or intro- 
duced from the Continent? In Turton’s Edition of Linnaeus, 
it is described as exclusively an inhabitant of Italy and Ger- 
many. The same author adds, that the leaves have a longi- 
tudinal white patch ; I have seen several specimens, but 
never noticed this. 
Galeopsis ladanum. Very common. 
Myosurus minimus. Near Penpool and Blaize Castle, in 
sandy fields. 
Oxalis : both acetosella and corniculata, are met with 
here, among the hedges and moist places, near corn fields. 
Galium. The following species were met with : saxatile, 
Aparine, Mollugo, palustre, spurium and verum. 
Ranunculus : acris, aquatilis, and bulbosus, are common ; 
the genus is very poisonous.
