A SUPrLEMKNT TO THE ' FLORA VECTKNSIS.' HB 



of several leaves to //. repens, and this I have not seen in any British 

 specimens, exeept those preserved in Sir J. E. Smith's Herbarium, as 

 from Guillane Links, near Edinbnrgh. 



Grithinimi maritbtmm, L. A few roots on a narrow strip of shingly 

 beach at the west mouth of Newtown Creek, a most nnnsual locality. At 

 Norton, and in Gurnet Bay (F. Stratton). Dr. Triraen has noticed a 

 similar kind of station on the beach at Hayling Island. 



[Fiscum album, L. On an Apple-tree in the garden at Osl)orne, 

 where it has been noticed for many years (J. Pristo). Introduced and 

 growing luxuriantly in Mr. Dennett's garden at Carisbrooke (F. Stratton) .] 



Sambncns nigra, L., var. rotnndifoUa, Bromf. A young bush with leaves 

 trifoliate, but less exactly round, and more serrated than in Dr. Bromfield's 

 plant, was found by j\Ir. Hambrough and myself near St. Lawrence, 



Galium, hybrids. G. vero-moUngo. In 1858, I gathered in a hedge 

 on Ashey Down a few specimens intermediate between G. Mollugo and 

 G. verum. The two specimens which I have preserved are diiferent 

 from each other. One, with broader and more pubescent leaves, shows 

 more resemblance to G. Molhxjo ; the other, with narrow leaves, is more 

 like G. verum.. These apparently answer to the descriptions given of 

 G. approximatum and G. decolorans by Grenier and Godron, ' Flore de 

 France,' vol. ii. pp. 19, 20, and Boreau, ' Flore du Centre de la France,' 

 ed. 3, p. 302. 



? G. ereclum, Huds. Dr. Boswell-Syme has kindly examined some 

 specimens of the small Galium of the Chalk Downs, gathered at Bembridge 

 and at Freshwater, and thinks they should be referred to G.erectum rather 

 than O. MuUufjo. (See Dr. Bromfield's remarks in ' Phytologibt,' o. s., 

 vol. iii. p. 423.) 



Q. paluslre, L., var. eloiKjalum, Presl. Not unfreqnent along the ditches 

 in Sandown Level. 



[Crucianella stylosa, Trin. Well established in a lane leading from 

 the Carisbrooke road to the Castle road, (F. Stratton), 1800-8. (See 

 Jonrn. Bot. Vol. VII. p. 316. A native of Persia.] 



^Ceutranthus ruber, De Cand. Quite naturalized, and yearly increas- 

 ing on the cliffs to the west of Niton. 



Valeriana officinalis, L. The form sambucifolia is the only one which 

 I have seen. 



[Falerianella carinata, Lois. Appeared occasionally as a weed in the 

 garden at Vectis Lodge, Bembridge, where it was not intentionally culti- 

 vated.] 



*Nardosuiia fragrans, Eeich. I have observed for many years thoroughly 

 established about Bembridge, Shanklin, Ryde, Wootton Bridge, etc., and 

 I believe that it may be counted as truly naturalized. 



Cineraria campestris, Ketz. F'ound in 1868 by ]\Ir. J. G. Baker and Dr. 

 G, R. Tate growing plentifully on the south-east slope of Westover Down, 

 close to the road passing through Calbourne Bottom. The words " Belhan, 

 pi. I. W.," quoted by Dr. Bromficld from the ' Hampshire Repository,' 

 are not necessarily intended for any locality, but should doubtless be read 

 as referring to Relhan's Plate in his 'Flora Cantabrigiensis,' whiciris 

 quoted by Garnier and Poulter as the authority for Cineraria alpina, just 

 as on the same page (121) " With, pi.," must be read as a reference to 

 a plate in Withering. The letters " I. W." simply indicate, as in other 

 cases, that the plant had been seen somewhere iu the Isle of Wight.
