BOTANY OF SELBORNE. 



Hypericum Androseemum. 



Lathiuea squamaria I saw not. 



Listera {Ophrys in White) Nidus-avis. In sufficient plenty. 



Monotropa Hypopitys. It also occurs in many other parts of this coun- 

 ty, in woods of beech or fir. 



Paris quadrifolia. I gathered some remarkably strong specimens of it 

 here in May, 1836. 



Sambucus Ebulus. 



Vaccinium Myrtillus. 



Oxy coccus is said to grow also in the bogs of Hind Head 



Heath, near where the Osmunda regalis grows. 



A catalogue of the rarer species of indigenous plants which 

 have been observed growing near Selborne. 



Adoxa moschatellina, plentifully 



Arab is hirsuta 



Aspidium, many species, including 



lobatum 



aculeatum 



spinulosum and its vari- 

 eties 



Blechnum boreale 



Campanula patula, on the dry gra- 

 velly banks of a lane near Bram- 

 shot, plentifully, 1829 ; and I 

 have specimens gathered there 

 in 1835, by Miss Frances Pamp- 

 lin. 



Chenopodium Bonus Henricus, 

 about the Priory, plentifully 



Epilobium angustifolium 



Eriophorum, two species grow 

 together in the bogs at Oak- 

 hanger 



Hesperis inodora, in the hedge of 

 the orchard field adjoining Mr. 

 White's garden, whence it may 

 possibly have originally escaped. 

 I have however, in the present 

 year (1836), seen it in three dis- 

 tant spots in this county, appa- 

 rently wild 



Hypericum elodes, bogs on the 

 various Commons, plentifully 



Lathyrus latifolius, Long Lithe, 

 Selborne, 1837 ; Mr. Al. Irvine 



Lithospermum officinale 



Littorella lacustris, Woolmer 

 pond is in a manner paved with 

 it ; also Frensham ponds 



Lycopodium inundatum, bogsnear 

 Oakhanger 



duced to notice here this beau- 

 tiful and rare plant, although 

 strictly it would not come within 

 the present limits. I found it 

 in August 1828, most abundant- 

 ly in the large woods between 

 East Meon and Clanfield, a few 

 miles S.W. by W. of Petersfield 



Mentha rotundifolia 



Mcenchia erecta 



Narthecium ossifragum 



Radiola millegrana 



Ranunculus parviflorus, on the 

 stony banks in and near the vil- 

 lage 



Ribes grossularia, hedge-banks; 

 also at Prior's Dean, near Sel- 

 borne 



rubrum, near the 



towards Oakhanger 

 Spergula nodosa 

 Tax us baccata. There are two re- 

 markably fine and large old trees 

 in this neighbourhood ; the one 

 in Selborne and the other in Pri- 

 or's Dean Church-yards; the 

 stem of the latter measures near- 

 ly 30 feet in circumference, and 

 that of the former scarcely less. 

 Both equal in appearance, if 

 they do not surpass, the famous 

 venerable tree at Aldworth, in 

 Berkshire. 

 Teesdalia nudieaulis, most abun- 

 dant all over the sandy district. 

 Turritis glabra, bank near Frox- 



field, sparingly 

 ViOLAjlavicornis, not unfrequent 

 Melampyrum cratete. I am in- 

 The district is rich in Ferns, Willows, &c, the former in- 

 deed flourish in the deep shady lanes in wonderful variety 

 and unusual beauty.
