Convolvulus soldanella. 



Of these Ruscus aculeatus and Tibia parvifolia (T. platypliyllos) 

 were previously recorded by Turner. Anagallis cocrulea and 

 Actinocarpus damasonium are not in Gerard's work, but occur for 

 the iirst time in Johnson's " emended " edition (1633) ; 

 Sisymbrium polyceratiuni is certainly not indigenous and Senecio 

 saracenicns is, as Johnson points out,'' probabl}' a blunder. Mr. 

 Gibson's Appendix professedly includes only the less cf;mmon 

 species. In the body of the Flora, the following 10 additional 

 records from Gerard are alluded to; but unfortunately Mr. 

 Gibson does not distinguish his quotations from Gerard's own 

 work from those taken from Johnson's additions : — 



Glaucium luteum. Gentiana cruciata. 



Cochlearia anglica. Plantago Coronopus. 



Matthiola sinuata. Populus alba. 



Saxifraga granulata. Crocus sativus. 



Scabiosa succisa. Poa annua. 



Of these Matthiola sinuata and Gentiana cruciata are probably 

 blunders. In addition to these 53 species, I find about 20 other 

 Essex records in Gerard's original work, including : — 



Lepidium latifolium L. Prunella vulgaris L. 



Coronopus procumhens Gilib. Atriplex laciniata L.
