NOTES ON CHANNEL ISLANDS PLANTS. 

 By H. W. Pugsley, B.A. 



The following notes are the result of observations during a 

 visit to Jersey and Guernsey in June last. Owing to the previous 

 dry and warm spring some characteristic species, especially 

 annual Leguminosce, were not to be seen, but a few other plants, 

 which in normal seasons flower much later, were already in bloom. 



In Jersey the native flora appears fortunately to have sufl'ered 

 comparatively little in quite recent years from the processes of 

 civilisation, but this is not so in Guernsey ; and the present con- 

 dition of Vazon Bay and the adjacent Grande Mare — evidently 

 once a delightful botanical locality — is deplorable to the naturalist 

 and a sad contrast to the somewhat similar district of St Ouen's 

 Bay in Jersey. The preservation of this latter spot, if it likewise 

 becomes threatened, might indeed be worthy of the consideration 

 of the National Trust. 



FuMARiA MURALis Sond. subsp. B0R.EI Pugsley {F. Borai 

 Jord.). Very abundant in the south-west portion of Jersey, 

 occurring not only in cultivated fields but commonly on hedge- 

 banks and walls with all the aspect of a true native. This Jersey 

 form seems fairly uniform and is intermediate between Jordan's 

 type and var. hritannica Pugsley. On the whole, it is rather 

 nearer the variety, differing in its more floriferous racemes and 

 rather larger flowers. 



The typical subspecies, a little dwarfed owing to the dry 

 season and occasionally mixed with plants diverging towards var. 

 hritannica, was seen abundantly in fields along the southern 

 clift's of Guernsey ; and a very handsome form (almost identical 

 with my forma ruhens), bearing large crimson flowers with 

 whitish sepals, grew sparingly in a field at Cobo. In this field
