in North Wales, the South of England and Jersey. 109 



to La Moye and the southern extremity of the Quenvais. The 

 following plants were picked in this route : Isolepis Savii, Rubia 

 peregrina, Centunculus minimus, Echium violaceum, Datura Stra- 

 monium ; Scilla autumnalis in great profusion and beauty, both of 

 its usual colour and also with white flowers ; Rumex maritimtts, 

 Silene nutans, Cistus guttatus, Antirrhinum Orontium, Trifolium 

 suhterraneum, Gnaphalium luteo-album, Hieracium umhellatum. 

 On other days in which a few minutes only could be given to bo- 

 tany, Grammitis Ceterach was picked from the churchyard wall of 

 St. Saviour^ s, the only situation in which it was seen in the island ; 

 and in the same place what has been called Mercurialis ambigua, 

 but there and everywhere else in Jersey every variety of form 

 from this to the most usual condition of Mercurialis annua may 

 be found ; Scrophularia Scorodonia was met with in every lane ; 

 Carex extensa was gathered near Rozel Harbour. In a pasture 

 field near La Haule was gathered Verbascum nigrum, in such va- 

 riety as to show that the character of this species must have a 

 wide range as to the shape of the leaves, the amount of tomentum, 

 and the length of the petioles. 



The 11th of September was the last day spent in Jersey, and 

 a rapid glance was taken of the vegetation of the Town Hill and 

 Gallows Hill in the immediate vicinity of St. Helier^s. On the 

 former was gathered Crithmum maritimunj, nearly two feet high, 

 Statice spathulata of very large size and in very fine condition, 

 Atriplex portulacoides, Senebiera didyma and Polycarpon tetra-^ 

 phyllum ; the last two grow also in the less frequented streets of 

 St. Heliei-^s. On Gallows Hill were found Herniaria glabra, ^ 

 subciliata, Centaurea solstitialis, and Amaranthu^ Blitum in better 

 condition than elsewhere. 



On leaving Jersey Dr. Graham and his friends went to South- 

 ampton, where they were met by Dr. Bell Salter, and, accom- 

 panied by him, went to Cowes and drove to Ryde, leaving the 

 carriage only while ascending the hills. Even this glimpse of the 

 vegetation of the Isle of Wight however was most interesting, and 

 furnished a long list of South-of-England plants. Gastridium 

 lendigerum had not been seen before, and is very common in the 

 Isle of Wight. Silaus pratensis is a local plant in Scotland. From 

 Dr. Bromfield specimens of Cyperus longus, Chenopodium glaucum, 

 and Calamintha officinalis of unusual form and large size were 

 received. Doubts were entertained of the specific identity of the 

 last with the British plant already recognised as Calamintha offi- 

 cinalis ; but it will probably turn out to be the extremity of a chain 

 which may be traced into the usual form through a plant which 

 in 1830 the late Mr. Christy gathered at Fishponds, Gloucester, 

 and one which Mr. Roberts gathered at Craig Millar Castle near 

 Edinburgh in 1836.
