H. LiNARi^FOLiUM Vahl vai'. APPROxiMATUM Rouy ap. Magn. 

 Scrinia, p. 245 (1892) ; Eouy & Foucaud Fl. Fr. iii. p. 345. 



Cliffs near Fiquet Bay, Jersey. 



This plant cliiTers widely from typical H. linaricBfolium (a 

 (jenuinum Rouy & Foucaud) in its ascending and dwarfer habit, 

 shorter, broader and more revolute leaves, more contracted cymes 

 and shorter capsules. Babington's Jersey specimens in Herb. 

 Mus. Brit, and others in Herb. C. Bailey belong to the same 

 variety, and I was informed by Mr. Piquet Jun. that he regarded 

 this plant as ordinary H. linaricBfolium and knew of no other form 

 in the island. 



I have also a specimen of this variety collected in Alderney by 

 Mr. C. R. P. Andrews in 1899. 



Geranium purpureum Villars. Near Vale Castle, Guernsey. 



This plant, which is similar to Verlot's specimens in Herb. 

 Mus. Brit, from different localities in Dauphiny, is almost scent- 

 less, glabrescent below but glandular-hairy above, especially on 

 the sepals. Its leaves are finely divided, the flowers only half as 

 large as those of G. Bobertianum L. and the carpels glabrous and 

 strongly transversely wrinkled. It may well be a distinct species, 

 as treated in Gremli's Swiss Flora, but G. modestum Jord. and 

 other small-flowered forms which Rouy & Foucaud unite with it 

 as varieties afford perhaps a series of gradations to G. Bober- 

 tianum. 



Euphrasia occidentalis Wettst. Quenvais, Jersey. L'An- 

 cresse, Guernsey (very dwarf). 



This is apparently the earliest flowering of our eyebrights. I 

 have collected it in Devon and Cornwall during the month of 

 June. 



Salvia Verbenaca L. var. oblongifolia Benth. (S. clandes- 

 tina Syme non L. ; S. Marquandii Druce). 



This interesting plant seems now on the verge of extinction at 

 Vazon Bay. The few remaining individuals seen showed great 

 difference in glandular development, one or two plants being 

 almost eglandular ; and the polymorphism of the corolla charac- 

 teristic of all the forms of S. Verhenaca was still apparent, the 

 corollas being mostly 12-14 mm. long and proterandrous, but in 

 some racemes only 9 mm. in length and semi-cleistogamous 

 with connivent lips. Vide Journ. Bot. pp. 103, 146, and 150 

 (1908). 



Plantago maritima L. Occurs at Noirmont Point in Jersey, 

 and about Fort George in Guernsey, in the clefts of dry rocks 

 with a southern exposure in positions occasionally within reach of 

 the salt spray. The plants of these situations, some of which are 

 quite luxuriant, show no signs of the foliar depauperation which 

 is generally obvious in this species when growing in maritime 

 shingles. 



Herniaria ciliata Bab. Vazon Bay, Guernsey. 



According to Mr. Marquand's Flora this species is confined to 

 one spot in Guernsey, while H. glabra L. is widely distributed.
