ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
Ida M. Roper. — The name of the lichen submitted is Podetia pungens forma 
foliosa. 
“Vic.” — Your specimens appear to be a species of Azolla. It is not a 
flowering plant but one of the Hydropteridoe, and allied to the ferns. There are 
no European species, but as one, evidently an escape from a tank in a green- 
house, was found not long ago growing in profusion in a pond in Epping Forest, 
there is nothing very unlikely in your finding it in the New River at Enfield.
