Ulex Gallii, Planch., var. humilis, Planch. Gvvennap, West 
Cornwall, v.-c. i, 2/10/05, coll. F. H. Davey, sent by C. C. Vigurs; 
and Fraddon Down, St. Enoder, East Cornwall, v.-c. 2, 20/10/05, 
coll. C. C. Vigurs. This constitutes almost a new British record to 
Mr. Davey’s credit, there being, I understand, only one previous 
one many years ago; at all events it is a record for v.-c. i, and 
mine is one for v.-c. 2. This is probably the plant recorded from 
the Cornish mainland many times as U. 7 ianus^ Forster, by Hind, 
Watson and others — {vide Davey’s ‘ Tentative List of Cornish plants’). 
It is described by Planchon in “ Annales des Sciences Naturelles,” 
April 1849, P- 213, thus: — “var. ^ humilis^ depressed, branches 
humifuse, branchlets and leaves crowded, flowers a little smaller 
than in the typical race.” The plant was named by Mr. A. Bennett 
for Mr. Davey. It is probably very common in Cornwall on 
exposed downs. The procumbent branches are best seen the 
year after a piece of furze has been burnt, all the young shoots 
being humifuse ; the specimens from Fraddon Down are all of 
this kind. The old bushes have very densely crowded branches. 
Mr. Davey’s beautiful specimens give an excellent idea of the 
plant. — C. C. Vigurs. 
Trifolinm glomeratum^ L. Rocky pastures, native, near West 
Monkton, v.-c. 5, S. Somerset ; in two places, over half a mile 
apart, 26th June 1905. This is the first definite locality for the 
County. — Edw. S. Marshall. 
T. suffocaiujn, \j. Minehead Warren, v.-c. 5, S. Somerset ; 
plentiful, 1 8th May 1905. New for the vice-county, and supposed 
to be extinct in its only other Somerset station. — Edw. S. 
Marshall. 
T. resupinaiu 7 H, L. Roadside, Clifton Down, Bristol, July 
1904. Many years ago the occurrence of this plant in a field 
between Bristol and the Severn, whence it speedily disappeared, 
was noted in several botanical works of the day, and in fact 
received a great deal more attention than it deserved. For the species 
is of course alien — an introduction with cereals, seeds or foreign 
forage. As such, a plant or two from time to time has been noticed 
about Bristol, — at St. Philip’s, Conham and Portishead Dock. But 
at the above date an unusual quantity appeared upon our Downs. 
Mr. C. Wall drew my attention to nine or ten patches among the 
turf along a roadside, and I found another at a considerable 
distance from any path. This curious invasion was, I suppose, 
due to the scattering of undigested seeds from horse-droppings. 
The next summer but a very small quantity was obsen-ed, and 
that quite as likely to be of fresh introduction as to have arisen 
from plants of the previous year. — Jas. W. White,
