NOTES ON KENTISH PLANTS OBSERVED DURING 1894. 



By the Rev. E. S. Marshall, M.A., F.L.S. 



I WAS prevented from paying many visits to the county during 

 last year, and few of my gatherings are of special interest. Those 

 which appear to be new to either E. or W. Kent (Watson's 15th 

 and 16th vice-counties) have an asterisk appended to them. 



Papaver soninifenim L. I do not think that the "varieties" 

 hispidum and (ilahrum are worth distinguishing, as Mr. J. F. Jeffrey 

 and myself met with a plant near Thornham, 15, which produced 

 them both ! 



Barbarea intermedia Boreau. A plant or two occurred in a field 

 of Medicacjo lupulina near Bough Beech, Penshurst, evidently 

 introduced with the crop. 



[Rajiistrnm rufjosum All. In some quantity by the Medway at 

 Forstal, above Aylesford, bidding fair to become naturalized ; also 

 at Shorncliffe Station, a single specimen.] 



Viola Riviniana Reich., var. ncmorosa Neum. W. & M. Wooded 

 banks of the Eden, between Penshurst and Chiddiugstone. 



\_Vicia lutea L. A few specimens grew in a field of F. sativa near 

 Ashford, clearly sown with it, as they were in the drilled lines. 

 The species is wild at Lydd, not many miles distant.] 



Rubus hirtifolius Muell. & Wirtg. Wood near Paddlesworth, 

 15*; named by Rev. Moyle Rogers. The plants referred to last 

 year (p. 145) as R. Lcjeunci prove to be /i. Babimjtonii Bell- Salt. 



Qinanthe silaifulia Bieberstein. Plentiful in a marshy meadow 

 near the Eden, below Chiddiugstone, 16*. 



(icdium Mullugo X veruin. With the parents, on a furze-clad 

 common between Lyminge and Paddlesworth, 15. The Galium 

 referred to in my last paper (p. 146) as probably new had been 

 mown oft' only a few days before my return to the spot ; but roots 

 of it were secured, and are doiug well in cultivation, so that I hope 

 to settle the point before long. 



Carduus crispus X nutans. Boxley Warren, 15. Confirmed by 

 Dr. Focke. 



Taraxacum udum Jordan. Damp pasture near the Eden, in 

 Chiddingstone Park, 16*. 



Sonchus pahistris L. This still occurs in the Aylesford district 

 in good quantity, both in E. and W. Kent. Not given for 15 in 

 Tojj. Bat. 



Salicornia appressa Dumortier. This was found in a second 

 Kentish station by Capt. WoUey Dod and myself ; it is abundant, 

 but very local, on muddy ground to the west of Seasalter, extending 

 over the best part of an acre. A specimen among Woods's plants 

 (kindly lent to me by Mr. Townsend for inspection), so labelled, but 

 not localized, is precisely the same thing. It will be found in other 

 southern counties, if searched for. 



Polijgonum Raii Bab. On the beach, west of Sandgate, 15* ; 

 I only saw one fine specimen.
