400 SHORT NOTES. Koch's Synopsis, 251, and that MM. Eouy & Foucaud, in their recently pubHshed work, follow M. Corbiere in reducing ciliata to a variety of P. dunense Dumortier. Since writing the above, I have received the following from Prof. Chodat, who has kindly examined the plant: — "This is a form of Polygala ciliata auct. (P. vulgaris var. intermedia y. ciliata mihi). The true P. ciliata Lebel has much broader wings and more slender shoots, but some forms, as the P. dunensis Dum. and P. dunensis Corbiere, agree in all parts with your plant. The characters, however, shown by these varieties are but slight, and due only to the station ; so you may call your plant, if you will hold P. ciliata as a species, P. ciliata Leb. var. dunensis (Dum.). For me this plant is only one of the numerous varieties of P. vulgaris ; its name would be P. vulgaris var. intermedia y. ciliata, forma alis + acutis, caulibus minus tenui- oribus etc. (vide Monogr. Polyg. 4:52, § 2 (tab. xxxiii. fig. 4))." — E. G. Baker. Euphrasia Kerneri Wettstein (p. 370). — This variety or sub- species of E. officinalis was plentiful at Chelsham, near Croydon (Surrey), in 1880. In 1894 Mr. F. Townsend wrote me, " It is a remarkable one, and, if constant, may deserve a varietal name." I found just the same plant on Buckland Hill, near Eeigate, in 1873, and believe I saw it some years ago on Box Hill, but I have no specimens to confirm it. — Arthur Bennett. Middlesex Mosses. — The following mosses, not hitherto recorded for Middlesex, supplement the lists already given in this Journal for 1894, pp. 106, 369 : — Gymnostomum rupestre Schw. Near Harefield. — Pottia lanceolata Rohl. Above chalk cliffs, Harefield. — Barhula subulata var. angustata = B. angustata Wils. Braithwaite. Near Garret Wood. — Bryum binium var. cusjndatum = B. affine Bruch, Braithwaite. Canal wall between Denham and
- 'moor" locks. — Scleropodium ccespitosum Wils. Side of brook,
Swakeleys, Uxbridge. — Eurhynchium crassinervium Tayl. Old chalk pit, Harefield Park. These few additions would appear to exhaust the list for this section of the county. — John Benbow. Bucks Plants. — Pinguicula vulgaris grows sparingly on a marshy spot near Burnham Beeches. The plants on this limited area are so few that I refrain from indicating the exact locality. The Utricidaria intermedia of Dr. de Crespigny's New London Flora, from "ponds, Burnham Beeches," is U. vulgaris. — John Benbow. MoNESEs GRANDiFLORA IN Argyle. — Sir Johii Campbcll-Orde, Bart., recently showed me this plant growing on his estate near Lochgilphead, and assured me that it was not an introduction. This appears to be the first certain station for it in western Scot- land. Lactuca muralis occurs there in considerable quantity ; I understand that Mr. P. Ewing has already recorded it for v.-c. 98. — Edward S. Marshall.
