234 THE FLORA OF HYDE PAEK AND KENSINGTON GARDENS. 



S. arvensis, L. G., a root or two on an earth-heap to the north-west 

 of the Serpentine Bridge ; casual. 



Crepis virens, L. A plant in the turf sonth of the site of the old 

 Gravel Pit ; rare in open grass, but several plants in the Magazine en- 

 closure. 



Campanula rotundlfoUa, L. P., five or six plants will reward a careful 

 search in the strip north of the Magazine. These are most interesting 

 survivors of the original Park herbage. G., turf near the Greenhouse. 



Cascuta europcea. " Hyde Park, in the sunk ditch under the wall of 

 Kensington Gardens on nettles and thistles, 1820 and 1821 ; Bennett 

 (v. s.)." — PI. of M. The thistles and nettles still remain here, but 

 where is the great Dodder ? 



Convolvulus sepimn, L. A weed in a flower-bed in the south of the 

 Gardens ; gathered by the Eev. W. W. Newbould. P., near the Keser- 

 voir, in flower-beds. 



C. arvensis, L. P., in a flower-bed near Buck Hill Gate ; again near 

 tlie Eeservoir. 



Solanum nigrtim, L. G., a weed in flower-beds near Lancaster Gate. 

 P., several plants 200 yards north-east of the Magazine in a rubbish-heap 

 place. 



8. Dulcamara, L. G., in the hedge which bounds the gardens north 

 of the Palace; plentiful at intervals for 200 yards in among the planted 

 hedge Crataegus. 



Veronica arvensis, L. P., not uncommon in the turf of the strip north 

 of the Magazine ; also fairly common about the old grassed road west 

 of the Humane Society's Peceiving-house. 



V. agrestis, L. "Kensington Gardens, Warren, v. s." — PL of M. I 

 find this record, which must apply to 1869 or earlier. I have not seen 

 the plant since and cannot recall its finding specially. Mr. Newbould has 

 seen it thrice this year. 



V. polita. Pries. P., a weed near Buck Hill Gate, in a bed. 



V. BuxhaHmii, Pen. P., castud, in a tree-fence 300 yards north-east 

 of the Magazine. 



Scutellaria galericulata, L. " Kensington Gardens. Herb. Goodger 

 and Eozea, 1817."— Fl. of M. 



Nepeta Glechoma, Benth. P., railed round at the Magazine, south side. 



Pruuella vulgaris, L. P., native; five or six plants in the turf just 

 west of the Magazine and across the Plug Road. 



Mmsotis arvensis, Hotfm. P., a weed near Buck Hill Gate. 



M. palustris, With. G., casual, in a flower-bed m the south of the 

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

 Gate. " Kensington Gardens."— PL of M. , . , ^ , 



Stacliys sylvatica, L. Say a dozen plants nearly m the north-west 

 an<^le of the Gardens, in a flower-bed near Epilohium montanum, L. 



^JuagalUs arvensis, L. G., casual in newly-sown grass near Prnice s 

 Gate. P., also in a tree-fence north-east of the Magazine across the Eing 



^Piantago Coronopns, L. P., a few plants near an old grassed roadway 

 west of the Sanger's House. " Hyde Park. Milne and Gordon s ' In- 

 digenous Botany,' etc., 1793."— PI. of M. 



P. lanceolata, L. G. and P., is certainly much less common m the 

 open turf than P. major, but I have seen it there frequently also.
