NEW LOCALITIES FOR RARE WARWICKSHIRE PLANTS. 205 
Scirpus setaceus and Trifolium medium, from near Hampton-in-Arden ; 
the rare Tutsan (Hypericum Androscemum), between Knowle and 
Solihull; and the Dwarf Thistle ( Cnicus acaulis ), from a pasture near 
Barston ! which is the first record I have of this plant from a 
North Warwickshire locality. 
Mr. P. Fox Lee, President of the Botanical Section of the 
Yorkshire Naturalists’ Union, who has recently been spending 
a holiday at Long Itchington, a pretty village some five or 
six miles from Leamington, sends me several records from the 
neighbourhood around Long Itchington, Southam, Ufton, and 
Stockton, all of which form a part of what in “ The Flora 
of Warwickshire ” is called the Learn basin. Some of these 
records are new to the district, some are from new localities, 
and some are recorded in the “Flora,” from the notes of former 
botanists, and are interesting both as confirmations of those notes 
and also as showing that the plants still hold their own in 
the district. From Poor’s Hill, near Long Itchington, Mr. Lee 
records Car ex pendula, Calamagrostis Epigejos, Orchis Morio , 
Viburnum Lantana , Campanula hybrida, and the very rare Bee 
Orchis ( Ophrys apifera). From Ufton Wood, the Bird’s Nest Orchis 
(Neottia Nidus-avis), recorded from this locality in 1835, by W. W. 
Baynes ; Campanula Trachelium, recorded by Messrs. Young and 
Baker in 1874 ; and Carex pallescens, which I have seen there 
but have not recorded. From Southam, Ononis spinosa, with white 
flowers, so recorded by Baxter in 1837 ; and Cnicus eriophorus , 
which is a new locality for this rare and noticeable plant. 
From near Deepdale Wood, Long Itchington, Ornithogalum 
umbellatum (Star of Bethlehem), an alien of very rare occurrence in 
Warwickshire, and not before recorded from the Learn basin ; 
Aquilegia vulgaris (the Columbine), a woodland plant of rare 
occurrence, also new to the district; also Picris hieracioides , 
Bupleurum rotundifolium, and Allium vine ale var, compactum. 
From Bascote Heath, which is near Long Itchington, Mr. Lee 
records Spiraea Filipendula , which Baynes noticed in that locality 
in 1832. Mr. Lee also sends me specimens of the rare hybrid 
Galium verum var. ochroleucum , which has only been noticed in 
September, 1893.
