Abstract

Journal of Botany, December.—The article on a new Senecio hybrid, by Mr. Burbidge and Mr. Colgan, refers to a form found at Sorrento, Ireland, which is intermediate in character between the common ragwort, Senecio Jacobaea^ and an introduced species, Senecio cineraria. Besides the illustrations, which do not furnish very definite proof, the authors bring forward more convincing evidence in favour of their view.—The notes published by Mr. Spencer Moore refer to Salvia jRussellii, two species of Barleria and a recently founded species of Am-phoranthus.—Mr. C. E. Salmon records the finding of Althaea kirsuta near Reigate and discusses the possibility of the plant being a native or an alien.—Mr. Wheldon and Mr. A. Wilson give the localities of some mosses and hepatics which have been discovered in west Lancashire since their previous list, published in 1901.—A list of Shropshire Sphagna is compiled by Mr. W. P^ Hamilton.—The revised catalogue of British Marine Alg^, with localities, compiled by Mr. Batters, is concluded in this number.
