I Whether Briggsti be identical with P. cordata, Desv., 1 am unable to say, as I possess no specimens of the latter, except the one in E00918413 Billot’s ‘Bxsice.,’ 2458, which Dr. Masters says is different from the true plant of Desvausx, &e. Judging by the descriptions of P. Briggsti and P. cordata, and the plate in ‘Journ. Bot.,’ they appear to differ both in the shape of the leaves and the shape of the fruit. The small size of the leaves and fruit of these two plants, of course, cannot alone be considered as showing any close affinity, as each form of the genus Pyrus and Prunus is liable to variation in the size of the leaves and fruits.—(I should be extremely obliged to any botanist who could spare me a duplicate of true French Pyrus cordata, addressed to J. 'T. Boswen, Balmuto, Kirkcaldy, N. B.) Since I found the bushes of this Pear between Seaton and Looe, as recorded by Dr. Masters in the “ Journal of Botany,” I have ascertained that another, growing in an old hedge in the neighbourhood of Tregantle, E. Cornwall, several miles nearer Plymouth, is to all appearance the same peculiar form. T so judge, however, without having had the opportunity of seeing flowers or fruit. Here, as between Seaton and Looe, the spot QQ where it grows is very near the coast. Judging from the character of the places in which it occurs at these two stations, it is just possible that this small Pear may be indigenous. The more inland Egg Buckland station, where I first found it, is less satisfactory. There it occasionally produces both flowers and fruit; and I, last | spring, was fortunate enough to obtain a good supply of flowering ' gpecimens for distribution through the Club.—T. R. A.
