BOTANICAL NOTES. By ELEANOR VACHELL, F.L.S. Since the publication of the Glamorgan County History a supplementary list of new species and varieties was published in Vol. LXIX, 1936, so that members of the Society might be kept in touch with information regarding the new or inter- esting plants that have been noticed within the area covered by the Society's activities. The following records are further additions and form a second supplementary list. Rosa spinosissima L. c. rosea (Koch) W.-D. Dunes between Newton and Porthcawl. H. A. Hyde, Mrs Campbell.!
