HISTORY OF THE COUNTY BOTANY OF WORCESTER. 
Calendar, with Lists of Flowers, Ferns, Butterflies, Minerals, 
Fossils, Birds.” The list of flowers and ferns, for which the author 
is largely indebted to Mr. Towndrow, may be found at pages 14 to 
38. They are arranged alphabetically in the order of the English 
names, and are consequently somewhat difficult to follow. The 
following records may be noticed :— 
Viola permixta, Jordan. This removes the doubt from Lees' “ Bot. Malvern 
Hills," ed. 3, p. 50. First record. 
Barkhausia foetida. First record. 
* Scrophularia Ebrharti. 
* Sparganium neglectum. Same year as in “ Journal of Botany." 
The “ Journal of the Linnaean Society,” Nov. 13th, 1890, 
contains a review of the British Willows, by F. Buchanan White, 
M.D., F.L.S., to which Mr. Towndrow contributes records of five 
varieties from the Malvern district, viz. :— 
Salix fragilis var. 'britannica, F. B. White. 
* S. viridis, Fr. = S. fragilis x S. alba. 
S. lutescens, A. Kern = S. cinerea x S. aurita. 
S. Reichardti, A. Kern = S. caprea x S. cinerea. 
S. capreola, J. Kern = S. caprea x S. aurita. 
Mr. K. F. Towndrow contributed some notes upon Malvern plants 
to the Malvern Advertiser from October 22nd to December 17th, 
1892. From these I extract the following records of plants new to 
Malvern, chiefly varieties of species already recorded :— 
Ranunculus Ficaria var. incumbens, F. Schultz. Bransford. 
Panaver Rhoeas var. strigosum (Boeun.). Hanley Castle and Malvern 
‘ Wells. 
P. Rhoeas var. Pryorii, Druce. This very slight variety occurred at 
Malvern Wells this year. 
Nasturtium officinale var. siifolium (Reiclib.). Hanley Castle. 
* Barbarea stricta. This local species is not uncommon along the line of 
the Severn, extending apparently but a short distance west of that 
river. 
B. intermedia, Boreau. Newland. 
Brassica Rapa var. Briggsii, H. C. Watson. Malvern Link. 
+ Sisymbrium pannonicum, Jacq. One plant in a garden. Malvern Link. 
An alien. 
* Reseda lutea. Rediscovered at Leigh Sinton in 1889. Dr. Addison, 
1836. See “ Mid. Nat.,” Nov. 1888, Vol. XI., p. 278. 
Viola Reichenbachiana, Boreau. Frequent on limestone. 
Polygala oxyptera, Reichb. 
Silene inflata var. puberula, Syme. Malvern Wells. 
Stellaria umbrosa, Opilz. Generally regarded as a var. of media. 
Common throughout the county.
