| notes: | 1. Of this specimen of Arabis hirsuita and in answer to my query "Are not the leaves singularly broad?" Mr Arthur Bennet writes "The Arabis is of much interest. I have not seen a type specimen of Wallroth's plant but it seems to answer to his description:- Certainly it is a form of hirsuita that is not common. I have quite the same plant from Argyle. Its also very near (If not the same) from Llyn Idwal, Carnarvon gathered by Mr Griffiths." Of course it is a casual at Malvern Link brought doubtless by a train but where from? Could the Midland Rail bring it from Brecon or Radnor? S. H. B. 2. Stems with buds, mature flowers and seed pods. |
