SHOKT NOTES.
Lejeunea Rossettiana Massal.—Owing to the excellent paper on
this species by Mr. Pearson in this Journal for December last, I have
been led to examine some old gatherings of L. calcarea Lib., more
especially as I had gathered what I took to be that species at Gordale,
one of the localities mentioned for L. Rossettiana Massal. However,
I found that what I had gathered in Gordale has been all distributed.
I examined several other gatherings made at different times from
Dent, Heseltine Ghyll (Penyghent), and Ingleton ; all these proved
to be L. calcarea Lib., but one ; this was one of the various gatherings
from Ingleton, and one of the latest, made in September, 1884.
This was a gemmiferous form of L. Rossettiana Massal., giving
another locality, and I have no doubt but that some of the specimens
lying in herbaria as L. calcarea Lib. will prove to be L. Rossettiana
Massal., although the former is most frequent on the mountain
limestone of Yorkshire, for several collections I have made this
spring proved to be L. calcarea Lib. These species of Lejeunea
usually occur on moist shady vertical limestone rocks near streams,
associated with Seligeria pusilla Ehrh., Lecidea cupidaris Ehrh.,
Ampldluma lanwjinosum Ach., Nostoc macrosporuin Meneg., X. viuscorum
Ag., and Orthotheciiim rufescens Dicks., often occurring
nearer the base of the same rocks, while masses of Bartramia (Ederi
Swartz. hang from above. Wm. West.
Glamorgan Plants. — The following were noticed by me in the
neighbourhood of Swansea during a short visit in October last. All
are additions to the second edition of ' Topographical Botany,' and
with the exception of Kpilohium. palustre L., which is noticed on
p. 5 of this volume, in a paper by the Rev. E. S. Marshall, on my
authority, I believe that none of them have yet been published.
The list, short as it is, contains some very common species and
varieties, and is an evidence of the backward state of botanical
study in this interesting county: Fumaria iniiralis Sonder, riubus
