Ly thrum Salicaria, L., var. canescens, Koch.? With Thaiictrum 
flavum , Galium boreale, Schcenus nigricans, and Molinia ccerulea . in 
rough ground on the north-western margin of Lough Derg, near 
Portumna, County Galway, 30th Sept, 1885. In a flying visit paid 
to this station for Inula salicina, I noted this Ly thrum growing in the 
rocky, boggy ground, with the plants named ; the lower half or two- 
thirds of the stem was leafless, and very slender, unlike the luxuriant 
plant of our Cheshire meres, while the leaves and upper portion of the 
stem were pilose. It was evident, from the nature of the ground, that 
the plants were accustomed to grow during times of high water level, 
when the Shannon was flooded, and hence the bareness of the lower 
half of the stem. I refer it doubtfully to Koch’s variety cancscens, 
“foliis pilis crispulis subtom en to sis ” (Synopsis Florae Germ, et 
Helvet., ed. III., p. 214). There was no trace of flowers or fruit at 
the late date at which it was gathered, and the members must excuse 
the autumnal state of the specimens. — Charles Bailey. “ I think 
not Oh, that he had obtained even a trace of the flower or fruit ! ” 
C. C. Babington. 
Epilobium Lamyi , F. Schultz. Arable land, near Malvern, Wor- 
cestershire, Sept. 1885. See “Joum. Bot,” for Nov., 1885. 
Unfortunately these plants were not observed until the season was so 
far advanced that it was impossible to secure good specimens from 
the many hundreds which, with Agrostis nigra , constituted the chief
