Mr Reade writes : " When first I came here [Royal Naval Hospital] Plantago vir- 

 ginica was very common on unenclosed land around my house ; but when I put poultry 

 on the ground they exterminated it by eating the unexpanded flower-buds, while the 

 introduced species, Plantago media [major ?] and Plantago lanceolata, thrive vigorously. 

 Governor Lefroy found Plantago virginica near Flatts Village, some eighteen miles from 

 here by road ; but it seems now to be about extinct."
