Trifolium hijhridum occurred, it was probably sown with foreign 

 clover and grass seeds a year or two before, though it is not exactly 

 the sort of plant we should expect to find introduced in this way." — 

 T. K,. Archer Briggs, 1872. 



Stackys gennanica, L. *' Itchin Abbas, Hants. I first discovered 

 this plant in 1851, in this neighourhood. The late Dr. Bromfield, I 

 remember, came here from the Isle of Wight on purpose to inspect it, 

 and was quite satisfied with its being really wild. The following 

 year, the field in a corner of which it grew was ' breast ploughed,' 

 and I thought the plant was destroyed. In fact, it disappeared 

 altogether for a long period ; but latterly it has come up again on 

 the same spot as vigorously as ever. It is not abundant." — W. W. 

 Spicer, 1872. 



Myosotis sylvatica, Ehrh. '' Border of wood, top of Titsey Hill, 

 eight miles from Croydon on the Westerham Road. To confirm 

 county." — A. Bennett, July, 1874. 



Statice hitiervosa, G. E. Smith, var. intermedia, E. B., ed. iii. 

 *^ Isle of Portland, Dorset."— H, E. Eox, 1872. " These specimens have 

 the spikes curiously contracted and dense, but are certainly not the 

 Continental 8. Bodartii. The Rev. H. E. Eox informs me that they 

 are from two stations, a mile or so apart, in one of which Mr. T. E. 

 Flower and myself gathered the ordinary form of intermedia eight or 

 nine years ago. It must have been some peculiarity of the season 

 which prevented the full development of the plants gathered by Mr. 

 Fox. I fear there is some mistake about S. Bodartii occurring in Port- 

 land ; or at all events that it does not occur there now." — John T. 

 Boswell, June, 1875. 



Chenopodium glaucum, Linn. " Yar. from Guernsey. Garden, 1866; 

 seeds from the Isle of Guernsey, 1865." — H. C. Watson. "This 

 form is very different from C. glaucum, as it occurs not unfrequently in 

 the vicinity of London, which has the leaves lanceolate or the upper 

 ones strap-shaped, both with subrhombic or wedge-shaped bases, acute 

 apices, and a few large, acute, but not very prominent teeth on each 

 side, the leaves becoming smaller and smaller the further up they are 

 placed on the stem. The inflorescence is a panicle, of which the lateral 

 branches are axillary spikes, not much interrupted, and with minute 

 linear or strap-shaped acute leaves at the base of the glomerules in 

 their lower half, except at the very apex of the stem, where the 

 glomerules which form the spikes are leafless. In the Guernsey 

 plant, which was collected by Mr. Watson at St. Sampsons, the leaves 

 are oval or ovate or elliptical-oblong, obtuse, undulated or with a 

 few blunt and inconspicuous teeth on the margins. The leaves do 

 not decrease upwards to any great extent, the spikes are so much 

 separated that the inflorescence cannot be called a panicle, but con- 

 sists of a number of axillary glomerules, or short leafless interrupted 

 Bpikes. The form appears to be constant, as Mr. Watson has sent me 

 a specimen of it from his garden in 1874, believed to be descended 

 from the Guernsey stock formerly sown there. I have seen the same 

 form from ballast at Inverkeithing and St. Davids on the Firth of 

 Forth."--JoHN T. Boswell, 1875.
