230 THE FLORA or HYDE park and KENSINGTON GARDENS. 



Erysimum cheiranihoides, L. P., has maintained itself as a weed for 

 several years in the tlovver-beds west of the Marble Arch. 



Sinapis arue/i/siis, L. G., a weed from the south side of the Gardens ; 

 gathered by the Rev. W. W. Newbould. 



Thlaspi arvense, L. Casual in some enclosed newly sown grass west 

 of the Albert Memorial. 



Camelina sativa, Cr. " Came up in Kensington Gardens with grass 

 sown for turf, 1834 ; Mag. Nat. Hist. viii. 389. "-^Fl. of M. 



Capsella Bursa-pastoris, De Cand. P. & G., everywhere ; a large 

 component of the open turf. 



Coronopm Ruell'd, Gaert. G., abundant in the grass west of the 

 fountains. P., here and there not uncommon. 



C. didyma, Sm. G., all along in the gravel of the path on the bridge 

 over the Serpentine; continuous for 100 yards. P., a plant under a 

 clump of trees about 200 yards west of the Magazine. 



Rtneda Luteola, L. " Wall south side of Hyde Park, 1815. Goodger 

 and Rozea's Herb." — PL of M. 



Lychnis Githayo, Lam. G., casual as a weed on the south side of the 

 Gardens ; gathered by the Rev. W. W. Newbould. 



Sngina procumliens, L. G., near the well, under the Scotch firs, in 

 the path north of the palace. P., in the strip. 



S. apetala, L. (vera). P., a single plant in the strip. 



S. ciliata, Pries. P., west of the " Humane Society " towards the 

 Magazine, near an old road which has become grassed over. It grows 

 plentifully and is conspicuous enough. An excellent spot to study the 

 species, as the examples are nicely grown and typical. 



Arenaria serpyllifoUu, L. P., in and near an old road now turfed over, 

 west of the " Humane Society." 



Stellaria media, With. P. and G., in the open turf wherever it gets a 

 little bare ; common and general. 



S. graminea, L. P., in a flower-bed near the old Reservoir. " Ken- 

 sington Gardens, 1845, Morris." — Fl. of M. 



Cerastium ylomeratum, Thuill. P., on some bare rubbish-made ground 

 200 yards north-east of the Magazine. This was a casual, and the ordi- 

 nary form. In the old grassed road west of the " Humane Society." 

 5 or 6 plants, a dwarf apetalous state ; C. apetalum, Dum. ? " In Hyde 

 Park, Merrett."— Fl. of M. 



C. triviale. Link. G. and P., common in the open turf, and in every 

 pathway edge. " Kensington Gardens." — Fl. of M. 



Moenchia erecta, Sm. P., " Hyde Park, Dickson's H. S. In the dry 

 part north of the Magazine, 1820, Bennett."— Fl. of M. I believe this 

 still may be re-found in Hyde Park, judging by the nature of the ground 

 in a few likely places where plants apparently of similar situations to 

 Moenchia, often associated with it, and quite as unlikely to endure smoke, 

 still hold their ground. It must be sought early. 



Spergularia rubra, Fenzl. P., in the strip, several patches ; one of 

 considerable size near the pathway north from the Magazine. Several 

 plants at the west end of Rotten Row. " Kensington Gardens, 1866." — 

 Fl. of M. 



Spergula arvensis,\j. P. and G., casual here and there, sown among 

 Grass seeds in enclosed places. 



Malva sylvestris, L. P., a plant in a flower-bed near Prince's Gate, 

 probably casual here.
