The following Plants which I have come across during the last 
two or three years are interesting as being some of them new 
to the count)', whilst one is an addition to the British Flora 
IMy best thanks are due to Mr. Geldart for his kindness 
in examining the specimens and getting them identified by 
Mr. Arthur Bennett. 
Trifouum pratense, var. parviflorum, Bab. A single plant 
growing amongst the ordinary form on a chalk-marl slope at 
Stitfkey. !Mr. Bennett in reporting upon it Siiys : “ It occurs in 
Denmark, as Lange refers it to Babington.” Syrae in E. B. says : 
“ I liave only seen this from Forfar.” I have not succeeded at 
present in finding any other specimens. An addition to the 
County List.
