Phytologist, n.s. IV (May 1860), 160. Appeared in the section entitled “Botanical Notes, Notices, and Queries,” which serves as running title. Signed “J.S.M.” Not republished. For the identification in Mill’s bibliography, see “Observations on Isatis Tinctoria and Other Plants” above.

it seems to be noticed as remarkable (see Phytologist, vol. iv, p. 6) that Mr. Sim found Cheiranthus Cheiri on the living rock.1 It grows profusely on the precipitous part of St. Vincent’s Rock, at the end next Bristol.
