Excerpt from Memoirs and Proceedings of the Manchester Literary Philosophical Society, Vol. 7
Doubtless the plant is an established introduction, but when and by whom is never likely to be solved. Old walls and ruins seem to be the favourite habitat Of this plant, wherever found.
The Rev. R. P. Murray, from whom I received specimens collected in 1888 near Oporto, Portugal, writes me that it grew plentifully on walls by the River Douro, opposite Oporto, and that he saw it nowhere else, but was told that it grew on rocks about a mile further away.

Excerpt from Memoirs and Proceedings of the Manchester Literary Philosophical Society, Vol. 7
The thanks of the members were voted to the donors of the books upon the table.
Reference was made to the deaths of three of the members of the Society, Dr. Carl Schorlemmer, F.R.S., Dr. J. E. Morgan, and the Rev. Canon Lloyd, since the previous meeting of the Society.
Mr. W. E. Hoyle, M.A., exhibited a specimen of Callichthys asper, remarkable for its resemblance in the arrangement of the scales to the ganoid fishes of the coal measures; and also specimens of Scopelus antarcticus and Argyropelecus hemigymnus, deep sea fishes, the former from a depth of 1,950 fathoms, and called attention to the phosphorescent organs of these species, the structure of which has been fully described by Dr. Von Lendenfeld, in an appendix to Dr. Gunther's report on the deep-sea fishes of the "Challenger" Expedition.
