A SUPPLEMENT TO THE 'FLORA VECTENSIS.' 139 



Jolis finds the snrae connectinj^ links at Cherbouri^, and describes no less 

 than eighteen forms. (Mciu. Soc. Scient. Nat. de Cherb. vol. i. 1853.) 



U. nanus, Linn. On St. Helen's Spit, near Sandown, Shanklin, New- 

 port, and in other parts ; frequent, and usually accompanied by U. Gallii. 



Obs. Ononis aroensis, L. The variety (3, mentioned by Snooki^ in his 

 ' Flora Vectiana,' p. 28, and which I have gathered between Brading and 

 St. Helen's, is a form of 0. arvensis, rather more spinose than usual, not 

 O. cainpestris, Kocli, which has not yet been found, though recorded by 

 Dr. Bronifield and Dr. Trimen, as occurring on the opposite coast of 

 Hampshire. 



Medicago denticulata, Willd. On the sea-bank near Qnarr Abbey. 



*Melllotns arvensis, Willd. Among clover and sown grass in cultivated 

 fields, and on their borders; frequent, but apparently introduced with the 

 crop. Bembridge Down, 1856. St. Lawrence, Freshwater, etc. Pro- 

 bably nearly all the localities given by Dr. Bromfield for M. vulgaris, 

 Willd. (Ji. alba, Lara.), belong really to M. arvensis. 



[il/. alba, Lam., M. lencantha, Koch. Clover field at Alverstone, 

 Whippingham (.L Pristo).] 



Falcatnla ornilhopodioides, Brot. On the village green at St. Helen's. 

 Near Totland's Bay (Dr. G. R. Tate). 



Trifoliuni 'medium, L. North side of Brading Down (Major Smith). 

 Banks near Gowes, (Snooke, in Fl. Vect.) Farkhurst Forest (F. Stratton). 



T. arveuse, L. Knighton East Copse, by the footpath ; rarely seen 

 inland. 



T. striatum, L. In Totland's Bay (G. R. Tate) ; near the Po4 Office 

 at Freshwater (R. Tucker) ; plentiful in a lane near King's Quay (.J. 

 Pristo). 



T. scahrum, L. Compton Bay (.\. J. Hambrough) ; Watcombe Bay ; 

 and Harapstead Spit. 



T. (jlomeratum, L. Earthen bank on St. Helen's Green; ab )ve Red 

 Clift' in Sandown Bay with Vlcia lathyroides. Blackgang ! (E. Crosfield) 

 I suspect that the locality of St. Catherine's, given for T. snffucatum 

 belongs rather to this species. 



[T. hybridum, L. Parkhurst Forest, and about Whippingham, Black- 

 water, etc. (F. Stratton) ; plentiful in a clover field at Harapstead (J. G. 

 Baker).] • 



\T. patens, Schi'eb. One root in a clover field between Thorley and 

 Ningwood (J. G. Baker). 



T. fliforme, L. Near Bembridge ; St. Helen's Spit; top of Shanklin 

 Down ; pastures near the Wilderness, Luccombe, etc. ; but not counnon. 



[Vicia lutea, h. "In Mr. Watson's herbarium a specimen is pre- 

 served, which was sent to him by Miss M. M. Atwood, who lias kiiully 

 informed me that it was gathered by Miss Furber on a rough piece of 

 waste ground near Sandown in I860;" Mr. T. B. Flower, who h:»s seen 

 a nieraorandum left by Dr. Bromfield, to the effect that he had heard of 

 the occurrence of the plant, but had not seen a specimen.] 



F. augustifoUa, var. segetalis, Thuil. Hedges near Hillways, Bem- 

 bridge, 1860. Hedge near Freshwater House (J. G. Baker).' Hedges 

 near East Standen, and at Alverstone (F. Stratton).

 Sandown Bay, sparingly (1860). 



Obs. Lathyrns maritimns, \^^r. I fear some mistake about this plant.
