A SUPPLEMENT TO THE 'FLORA VECTENSIS.' 169 



■\Mentha rotnndifolia, L. A form with leaves more eloa,:>;ated than 

 usual occurs in a hedge close to the bridge at Sea Grove, and it is this 

 variety which has been mistaken for M. sylcestns \\\ the Isle of Wight. 



M. satloa, L. By the side of a stream near the cliff at Brightstone 

 (A. J. Hambrough, 1860). In ditches, and by the stream a little above 

 Yar-bridge. There was also a specimen labelled " Guildford " in Dr. Bell 

 Salter's herbarium. 



*M. rubra, Smith. In a ditch near the White Cottage, beLween Lake 

 and Shanklin (Rev. T. Salwey, 1857), and well establishel there in 

 1859. Hedge near the " Nelson's Arms Inn," Colwell Bay, and plenti- 

 ful in the garden of the inn (H. C. Watson). Among Bram'jles by the 

 roadside at Niton, close to a cottage (Rev. E. Carr). 



[Salvia pratemis, L. The single plant mentioned in the ' Flora Vec- 

 tensis ' grew in a grass field, but upon land that had been ploughed not 

 many years previously. Mr. Kirkpatrick afterwards found another plant 

 in a different part of his land ; no doubt accidentally introduced, and 

 now e.\tinct.J 



Origanum vidgare, L., var. virens. Isle of Wight Dr. J. E. Gray 

 (Comp. Cyb. Brit. p. 545). 



ThijDim Chamcedrys, Fries. Bleak Down (A. J. Hambrough). St. 

 Helen's Spit, and probably elsewhere, but far less common than T. 

 Serpylliim. 



Oalamintha officinalis, L., var. Briggsii, Syme. Near Carisbrooke 

 (F. Stratton, 1867). 



■\Nepeta Cataria, L. By bridle-roads in two places on Bowcombe 

 Down (F. Stratton). 



Lamiiiin purpureiim, L., var. decipien-s, Syme. In garden ground at 

 Bembridge. 



Obs. Lamiiim intermedium mnst be erased from the list, Dr. Brom- 

 field's specimens being nothing more than a variety of L. incisum, with, 

 leaves broader and more cuneate than usual. 



Slachi/s paliistris, L. Mr. Hambrough's specimen, supposed to have 

 been S. amhir/ua, is only a slight variety of »S^. palustris. ^ 



Obs. ■\Ballola ruderalis. Dr. Bromfield's specimens from St. Law- 

 rence do not belong to this but to B. foetida. Lam., nor have I succeeded 

 in finding the former. 



XAnagallis arvensis, L., var. ccerulea. In a field at Alverstone (J. 

 Pristo). 



Centunculus minimus, L. Gravel pit at the junction where the road 

 from Newport branches to F^ishbourne and Ryde (Rev. A. M. Norman). 



Plantago Coronopus, L. Inland on Pan Common, Bleak Down, and 

 at Newchurch. 



Schoberia marilima, Mey. The stouter and more ligneous form men- 

 tioned by Dr. Bromfield grows on St. Helen's Spit, and in other places 

 round Brading Harbour, but is certainly no more biennial than the ordi- 

 nary state of the species. Judging from the description, it seems to be 

 the typical S. maritima of Dumortier, Btdl. Soc. Royale Bot. de Belgique, 

 vii. 328 (1868). 



XGIimopodium polj/spermum, L., var. ci/mosum, Moq.-Tand. Near 

 Shanklin, the only locality where I have found it, but var. acalifoliani, Sm., 

 is frequent. 



XC. album, L., var. candicuns, Lain. Near Kerne, etc., not uafrequent
