JOSEPH ANDREWS AND HIS HEBBARIUM 325 



in Kent. Eodem loco & trans Tbamesin etiam in Essexise campis 

 elatioribus se reperisse Lobelius scribit, si modo eandem intelligat 

 plantam." Gibson seems to bave overlooked this record of 1655, and 

 writes of V. latliyroides that it " is only suspected to occur in Essex " 

 {Flo7'a of Essex, p. 85). As the species is represented in the National 

 Herbarium from both Suffolk and Middlesex it was natural to suspect 

 its occurrence in Essex.] 



Lathyrus Nissolia L. Ballingdon Hills, 8 June, 17-13. [Re- 

 corded by Ray (Cat. PI. Angl. 1670) from Black Notley.] 



L. PRATENSis L. *Between Sudbmy and Cornard. July 19, 

 1751. 



L. STLVESTRis L. *Sudbury. 



L. PALUSTRis L. I gathered it in Peckham field, on the back of 

 Southwark. [This is Lathyrus viciceformis, seu, vicia Latliyroides 

 nostras, Chichling Vetch of R. Syn. ed. 3, 320; and the locality is 

 Willisel's. Hill writes of the species (Brit. Herbal, 1756, 282) as 

 occurring " in the neighbourhood of London."] 



L. MONTANUS Bernhardi. Pasture by Kane wood by Hampstead 

 Heath and a wood betw. Dulwhich and the Wells. [Recorded for 

 Hampstead by Gerard 1057 and Johnson, Ger. em. 1237, as Astra- 

 galus sylvaticicsJ] 



HippocREPis COMOSA L. Castle-yard, Thetford, Norfolk. 



Onobrtchis tici^polia Scopoli. Linton, Aug. 1, 1715, and on 

 Barktlow Hills. [These two localities, one in Cambridgeshire and the 

 other in Essex, are close together. Babington sa3^s tliat the species 

 " Common throughout the chalk-district," was "formerly much more 

 abundant"; and Gibson that it "is often cultivated, but appears to 

 be a native plant in chalky districts." It was growing at Bartlow in 

 1883 ; but seems of late to have been largely replaced as a fodder 

 crop by Trlfolmm incarnatum.^ 



Pbunus insititia L. R. S. 3. 462. 2. Black Bullace [and] 

 fructu majore alho R. S. 3. 462. Ballingdon, 13 July, 1744. 



P. DOMESTICA L. An 4. Pruiius stjlvestris fructu, ruhro acerho 

 et ingrato R. S. 3. 463. Gallow Hill towards Chilton, Aug. 21, 1744. 

 [Ray says (Syn. ed. 2, 302) " This has been observed by Mr. Dale in 

 some Hedges both in Essex and Suffolk " ; but Dr. Hind gives no 

 record earlier than Sir J. Cullum, 1773. All three forms are probably 

 only remains of more or less ancient cultivation.] 



Spir^a Pilipendula L. Kiltington Hills, July 12, 1745. 



Alohemilla vulgaris L. Brunden hall. May 2, 1743. [Appa- 

 rently A. minor Hudson.] 



PoTENTiLLA ARGENTEA L. Bruudeu Lane End, 1750 & 1758. 



P. vERNA L. *Gogmagog Hills, May 1, 1744. 



RuBUS iDJiUS L. fructu ruhro. R. S. 3. 467. Link Hills, 

 Maplested. 12 Aug- 1748. [Gibson's first Essex record is Edward 

 Forster. The red-fruited form is, perhaps, more likely to be a bird- 

 borne escape from cultivation than the white-fruited form collected 

 by Rev. G. P. Raynor at South Weald in 1884.] 



Geum rivale L. Great Cornard. 



Rosa spinosisstma'L. Bulmur Cluirch Yard [Essex], May 28, 

 1753. [Previously recorded for S. Essex by Gerard, p. 1088.]
