6l6 THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUl! OF THE BRITISH ISLES, 
from Mr. ]. A. AVheldon represent it, then I should be inclined to 
refer it to 7 ’. pungens, Koch (in a wide sense). In Jiabington’s 2nd 
ed., p. 400 (1847), the leaves being involute are first so mentioned.’* — 
A. Bennett. 
Athyrium Filix fa’mina, Roth., var. JFafsoni, Syme? Limestone 
rocky woods, Cellwen, Breconshire, July 1899. Ihvo forms sent : one 
with dark scales, the other light. I do not kno'v whether either is 
rightly named. In both the frond was rather rigid. — A. Lev. “ I do 
not know Syme’s var. JVafsofii, but this exactly matches some of 
Moore's specimens of his var. incisumP — J. G. Baker. 
Lastrcea rigida, Presl. Cefn Fedw, Llangollen, Denbighshire, 
[4th August 1899. This station was pointed out to me by Mr. G. R. 
Jebb, who discovered it more than 30 years ago, and published a 
notice of it in ‘ Science Gossip ’ for June 1868. It is not recorded 
in ‘Topographical Botany,’ and the discovery seems to have been lost 
sight of. The plant exists in considerable quantity, usually in the 
company of Fhegopteris calcareum, Fee.— A. VVolley-Dod. 
Lasinea gla/idulosa, Moore. Trewtrn Glen, near Defynog, Brecon- 
shire, 31st July 1899. This fern, whether rightly named or not, differs 
much and constantly from common forms of Z, dilatata, Presl., in the 
characters of the scales. It does not appear to me reasonable to 
attribute it to Z spinulosa x dilatata ; although I have never seen it 
growing except when both these species are present within a short 
distance. — A. Ley. “This is not exactly Newman’s original 
/0sa, which has deeper, sharper teeth, etc., and densely glandular.” — 
J. G. Baker. 
Equisetuf 7 i hiemale, Linn. Bank of Lune, near Halton, W. Lancs., 
February 1899. New county record.— Albert Wilson. 
Chara connivens, Braun. Abundant in Slapton Ley, S. Devon, 
August 1899. — G. Claridge Druce. “Yes.” — H. and J. Groves. 
C. vulgaris^ Linn. Flem Mill Dam, Shifnal, Salop, July 1899. 
Passed by Mr. J. Groves. — W. H. Painter. “Yes, but very poor 
specimens.” — H. and J. G. 
Nitella transluce/is, Agardh. Near Newport, W. Mayo, 28th June 
1899 — E. S. Marshall. “ The form with diffuse fruiting heads.” — 
H. and J. Groves.
