a small patch of Eriophorum latifolium growing in a bog near 
Newnham, along with Epipactis palustris , Habenaria conopsea, 
Anagallis tcnclla, and Achillea ptarmica. I believe this is only 
its third station in the county and in this case it grew alone, 
unaccompanied by the commoner E. polystachion. 
I made some inquiries as to the Fritillaria meleagris at 
Elmore and was told that it never appeared there “ until the 
year of the May flood,” and that folk “ thought the flood 
brought it.” The May flood was, I think, in the “eighties ” and 
this fact, and the fact that it only appears at Elmore in the 
albino form, tends to show that the plant is not a native there. 
Many aliens or doubtful natives grow in the Newnham neighbour- 
hood such as Saponaria vaccaria, Potentilla noroegica, Coronilla 
varia, Mcdicago falcata, and Melissa officinalis. Linaria repens 
was last year abundant all along the G.W.R. from Westbury 
nearly to Awre, sometimes mauve in colour and sometimes 
white. I do not know whether it is thereabouts permanently. 
A very strange form of Stellaria Holostea grows on Birdlip Hill 
— half-way up— which is worth further investigation.

Carex tomentosa L. James Buckman in his Botanical Guide 
to the Environs of Cheltenham includes this among his list of 
Sedges, but no one else had seen this plant in the neighbourhood 
of Cheltenham till Mr. Greenwood in 1917 found it in Withington 
Wood. I found it last summer in a field by the River Coin near 
Withington. 
Myosurus minimus L. In June last year I found this in a 
cart track in a field by the Severn at Ripple in Worcestershire. 
This plant should occur in alluvial ground by the Severn in 
this county. 
COTTESWOLD PLANTS AND THEIR PARASITIC FUNGI ( UrcdinaleS ). 
Gymnosporangium clavariceformc DC. This fungus produces 
its secidia on branches, leaves, and fruit of the Hawthorn, and 
its teleutospores on branches of the Juniper, and is probably 
common on the Cotteswolds wherever the latter is found. 
There are some fine bushes of Juniper at Hilcot near Colesborne,
