NOTES ON JERSKY PLANTS 6& 



Ludwifjia palnstris Elliott. Probably extinct. — (Enothera odorata 

 Jacq. Thoroughly naturalized and abundant in saudy places. Ap- 

 parently spreading. 



Scahinsa maritima L. One locality in St. Ouen's Bay. Lloyd 

 (Fl. de rOiiest de France) does not regard it as native north of 

 the Gironde. Probably introduced at some tune or other with 

 lucerne seed. 



Gnaphidium nndulatuni L. An African species from the Cape 

 of Good Hope, thoroughly naturalized in several localities in 

 the south-west of the island. Naturalized also in Normandy 

 and Brittany. Name confirmed by Herr J. Freyn (Report of 

 Bot. Exch. Club, 1897). — Dlotis candidLssima Desf. Only known 

 from one locality, and now destroyed by the building of a sea-wall 

 in St. Ouen's Bay. Much of the best botanizing ground in the 

 sandy bays is being rapidly spoilt by similar useless and costly 

 constructions. A species with apparently a diminishing area. — 

 Matricaria maritima L. = Pyrethrnm, maritimum Sm. Abundant 

 in many places on the coast. It is hard to believe that this is 

 nothing but a variety of M. inodora L., but Lloyd declares that he 

 raised ordinary inland M. inodora from the seeds " des la premiere 

 annee," at the same time acknowledging that it is a "remarkable 

 variety." — Centaurea paniculata L. cannot, I think, be regarded as 

 a native, if its continental distribution is taken into account. It is 

 not found in Normandy, Brittany, or West France. In Jersey it is 

 abundant in a single locaUty, close to the Scahiasa maritima L., 

 where it has been for at least thirty years. The case of C. aspera L. 

 is slightly different. It is abundant in St. Ouen's Bay, and rare in 

 the south-east of the island. In Normandy it seems to be a casual, 

 and Lloyd regards it as introduced on the coast of Brittany. In 

 Guernsey it is, according to Mr. E. D. Marquand, " very rare and 

 local." Just possibly native, but to be regarded, I am afraid, with 

 suspicion.— C. Calcitrapa L., if ever native, is now certainly extinct. 

 — Hieracium Fdosella L. var. pilosissimwu Wallr. {H. Peleteriamim 

 Mer.) is extremely abundant. The type is comparatively I'are.— ■ 

 H. umheUatum L. var. littorale Lindeb. is common on the cliffs of 

 the north coast. — HypochcBris maenlata L. is plentiful in a single 

 locahty, which is also the only station in the Channel Islands for 

 the Cowslip. It is not found'in Guernsey, Normandy, or Brittany, 

 or in West France north of the Loire ; but the locality seems quite 

 above suspicion, and the English counties in which it occurs are 

 widely separated from one another. 



Anchusa sempervirens L. Frequent in hedges and near houses, 

 and in one place apparently native. It looks native in the woods 

 about Dinan, in Brittany. — Echiam planta(jineum. L. is abundant. 

 It was plentiful about St. Helier's in Ray's day (Sj/nopsis, ed. 2, 

 119 (1696) ). On the other hand, it is only a rare casual in Guern- 

 sey, and does not appear in Normandy, or in West France north of 

 the Loire. 



Linaria Pelisseriana Mill, has become extremely rare, and is 

 probably doomed. 



Mentha Pulegium L. Probably extinct.
