BOTANY.

FUNGI.

A Blg Boletus. On a roadside near Stradbally, Queen's Co., last month I found a

remarkably large Boletus. It stood 9 inches high, and the pileus measured 42 inches in circumference, and i8 inches in its greatest diameter. The stalk at its junction with the pileus was 13 inches in cir cumference. It was impossible to bring away such a gigantic specimen, but from my description Dr. M'Weeney believes the species to have been Boletus edulis.

R. LioYv PRAZGOR.

BEPA TICA.

A Check-lIst of BrItIsh Hepatics. We should like to draw the attention of botanists interested in the

Hefatica to the convenient " Catalogue of British Hepaticce," which Rev. C. H. Waddell has compiled for the Moss Exchange Club. The list is printed in the same style as the " London Catalogue of British Plants," and is intended to serve the same purpose-to facilitate exchanges and the cataloguing of collections. The classification is with some slight exceptions that of the late Dr. Spruce. A useful feature is the addition in italics after the names of many of the species, of synonyms by which the plants are better known to many collectors. This is, indeed, rendered almost necessary by the continual revision and alteration of plant names.

The list is well printed on eight pages of good paper, and is published

at 6d. by Messrs. W. Wesley & Son, 28, Essex-street, Strand.

PA NEROGAUS. ananthe plmpIneIloles, LInn., In Ireland.

This rare and interesting plant, which hitherto has not been recorded from Ireland, except in apparent error, grows in some plenty at Tra bolgan, Co. Cork, where I have seen it during the past two summers. It ranges in patches over a couple of acres of the extensive pastures close to the sea at that place.

Mr. Arthur Bennett, F.L.S., to whom my thanks are due, has kindly examined and identified my specimens.

The plant is one unlikely to have been introduced, and looks like a native, the habitat being similar to those in which the species occurs in the south of England; still, pending its discovery in other Irish stations, it will perhaps be safer for the present to regard it as " probably in digenous.'
