Dia?ithus gallicus, L. S. Ouen’s Bay, Jersey, 31st July 1900. 
This beautiful species grows in one spot only in the Channel Islands. 
Even when the exact locality of the plant is known it is extremely 
difficult to find, so much so that three of us this year, all knowing 
the place well, had trouble to come on it. The common abounds 
with Armenia plantaginea , and the resemblance which these two 
plants bear to one another, flowering at the same time, is really extra- 
ordinary. At a very short distance they are indistinguishable ; and to 
my mind this fully accounts for the pink having so long escaped 
notice. I cannot agree with the opinion expressed (‘B.E.C. Report,’ 
1898) that this plant has been introduced. It occurs on the coast of 
Normandy and Brittany, where grow other plants that also occur with 
us, e.g., Linaria Pelisseriana, Helianthemum guttatum, Romulea , etc. 
During the last few years at least a dozen species have been added to 
the flora of the Channel Islands under conditions that prevent the 
supposition of introduction ; and of course all these had previously 
escaped the observation of botanists. — Stanley Guiton. 
Saponaria officinalis , L., var. puberula , Wierzb. Lune banks, 
between Halton and Caton, W. Lancashire, new record, August 1900. 
— J. A. Wheldon. 
Silene conica, L. Sandy heathland pasture, near Parkstone, 
Dorset, in fair quantity over a very limited area, apparantly native, 14th 
June 1900. This seems to be quite a different station from the one 
reported by Mr. Hussey, 1886; from what the Rev. W. Moyle Rogers 
tells me they would be nearly two miles apart. In my ‘ Flora of 
Bournemouth ’ I followed the ‘ Flora of Dorset,’ characterising the 
species as “ alien ? ” in the county, but, after seeing the plant in situ , 
I am satisfied that it is native, and it is easy to account for its having 
been overlooked. I send out single specimens rather than full sheets, 
in order to distribute as widely as may be these Dorset vouchers. — E. 
F. Linton. 
Stel/aria graminea , L., var. macropetala, Wiesb. in ‘ Verz. d. Schles. 
Bot. Tausch.-Ver.’ (1885-1886), p. 20? In a marsh with Juncus 
diffusus , Galium uliginosum , and other uliginal plants near Heath, in 
Bucks, September 1900. I have not seen type specimens of this 
variety, so have queried this identification. The flowers were distinctly
