366 NOTES ON SHROPSHIRE PLANTS. 



P. plantagineus, Ducros. — Plentiful in a ditch near Croesmere 

 Mere, where Mr. Serjeantson and I discovered it in the summer of 

 1882. 



P. rufescens, Schrad. — In several places in a ditch near 

 Croesmere Mere. 



P. jymlonr/us, Wulf. — Abundant in deep places in Whitemere 

 Mere, and may also be found in the canal near Upton Magna. The 

 plant that Mr. Phillips and I found floatmg in the canal in 1880, 

 near Ellesmere, probably came from Whitemere Mere, as I have 

 never been able to find it growing in the canal in that neigh- 

 bourhood. 



P. perfoUatus, L. — Plentiful in the Severn ; occurs also m 

 Ellesmere Mere, but very rarely flowers. 



P. crispus, L. — Frequent in Hardwicke and Whitemere Meres ; 

 in pools at Hawkstoue, Berriugton, Cound, and Upton Magna ; in 

 the canal between Shrewsbury and Wellington ; and in the Severn 

 near Leighton. 



P. mucronatiis, Schrad. — Kather frequent in the canal near 

 Upton Magna. 



P. piisillus, L. — Ditches near Croesmere Mere and Fennymere 

 Pool; in the canal and small pools near Upton Magna. The 

 variety tenuissimus grows in ditches near Kinnersley. 



P. pectinatus, L. — Abundant in Hawkstone Pool. The variety 

 scojjarius occurs in the canal near Eyton-on-the-Wealdmoors. 



P. fiaheUatus, Bab. — Rather plentiful in the canal near Upton 

 Magna and Withington. 



Zamiichellia palustris, L. — In Hawkstone Pool, and the canal 

 near Upton Magna. 



Triglochin palustris, L. — Frequent in boggy places throughout 

 the county. 



Scheuchzeria palustris, L. — On the mossy margin of Bomere 

 Pool. In the summer of 1881 Mr. La Touche and I could only 

 find a few plants, so I fear it is becoming scarce there. 



Hydrocharis ]\Iorsus-ran(B, L. — In ditches on the W^ealdmoors, 

 near Kinnersley ; ditches near Welshampton and by Fennymere Pool. 



Orchis ustulata, L. — Bather fi'equent in some grass-fields under 

 Wenlock Edge, near Harley.

 MiU.

 Much Wenlock and Easthope, and under the Edge near Harley.
