138 A SUPPLEMENT TO THE ' FLORA VECTENSIS.' 



also glabroits and bordered with purple, and wliich seem analogous to 

 the correspondinijj vaiiety holosteoides of C. trivicde. 



Arenaria leptoclados, Gu^?.. In cultivated fields and on wall-tops; 

 more frequent than the typical A. serpyllifulia . At Eembridge, 1859, 

 Eyde, Godshill, Sandown, Freshwater, etc. 



A. Lloydli, Jordan. Plentiful ou the sandhills of St. Helen's Spit, 

 1859. On the site of the former Needles Lighthouse (H. C. Watson). 



Lepigonum rupicola, Lebel. Plentiful on the rooks in the landslip at 

 Luccombe, 1859; cliffs under Bonchurch and Ventnor; along the Uu- 

 dercliff and at Niton and Blackgang; sandy cliffs at Brightstone; Compton 

 Bay, and all over the cliffs at Freshwater. A very distinct species. 



L. ritbnan, Pries. Sandy heaths ; about Godshill, Sandown, etc. ; 

 frequent. 



Lepigonnm scdhnnn, Presl. ; L. neghctnm, Kindberg, olira. On banks 

 and waste places near the sea, and in salt marshes, plentiful on the north 

 side of the Isle of Wight (1860). In the marshes north of Brading 

 Harbour I have found what I believe to be the true L. medium of Fries, 

 a smaller plant vvitii smooth seeds and a leafy panicle. 



L. ninr'miim, Wahl. ; L. marginatum, DC. Very common in the wet- 

 test part of salt marshes, ou ground occasionally overflowed at high tide. 

 I have tried the experiment of sowing the seeds in ordinary soil, and 

 the plants which came up still retained the characters and habits of the 

 parents. 



\_lhjppricum liircinmn, L. A single bush was once found by the Rev. 

 T. Salwey at tShanklin, growing on a hedgebank close to a garden.] 



Obs. H. maculatum, Flor. Vect. Appendix. Mr. J. Woods kindly sent 

 me the specimen which he found, near Ninham Farm, and having myself 

 gathered the same plant in this locality, I cannot but consider it a form of 

 H. perforatum. It has the leaves aU perforated with numerous pellucid 

 dots. 



Geranium Rohertianum, L., var. purpureum, Forst. At the foot of the 

 Culver Cliff (Rev. W. W. Newbould) ; in Steephill Cove, with Raphamis 

 maritimus (.1. G. Baker). The plant on the shore near the Priory seems 

 to agree best with G. semiglabrum of Jordan. 



G. molle, L., var. parvijiorum (var. y, of Bromfield). On St. Helen's 

 Spit, etc. A small-llowered and procumbent variety, with leaves more 

 deeply cut than iisual. 



G. pusillum, L. Roadside at Yaverland, sparingly ; field between Grove 

 and Alverstone ; near Godshill. 



[G. pratense, L. A single plant on the border of a grass field close to 

 the barracks at Sundown ; no doubt introduced.] 



\_G. striatum, L. Appears well established in the hedge of a cottage 

 garden at Alverstone. Mr. J. Pristo has also sent me a specimen found 

 in a hedge near Wootton, where it has been observed for several years.] 



\_Erodium moschatum, Sm. On a strip of turf under the paling of a 

 cottage garden at St. Helen's Green (1860). Not now cultivated, but 

 no doubt introduced in so suspicious a locality.] 



Oxalis Acetosella, L. The variety with purplish flowers grew formerly 

 in a wood near Landguard (Major Smith). 



Ulex Gallii, Planch. Heath east of Newport (1852). Stapler's 

 Heath, and the south-east parts of Parkhurst Forest, always accompanied 

 by plants intermediate between it and U. nanus (F. Stratton, 1868). Le
