4 AN orTLINE OF THE FLORA OF SUSSEX. 



the ridge of the Weald to Sand Hill, Stone Cross, Crowboro' Gate 

 Duddk'swell Gate, Sweet Mine Pits, Nutley Hill, Charlwood, Charl- 

 wood Gate, AVych Cross, Cold Harbour, Tyhes Cross, West Hoathly, 

 Turner's Hill, Half Smock, across Balcombe Down and Highbeech 

 Warren to Hand Cross, thence on to Plumraer's Plain, turning S.E. 

 past Eastland's Farm, Slut House Farm, Warninglid, Slough Green, 

 and Whiteman's Green to Cuckfield, Butler's Green, over the tunnel 

 at Hay wards Heath, taking the road to Wivelsfield by way of West- 

 wood to Ditchling and Westmeston, striking the Downs E. of Ditch- 

 ling Beacon to Falmer, Newmarket Hill, and Rottingdean. Among 

 the most remarkable of the apparently peculiar species I may 

 quote : — 



Geranium pratense. Rumex maximus. 



Ludwigia palustris. Euphorbia pilosa. 



Liuinanthemum nymphaeoides. Habenaria albida. 



V. CUCKMERE. 



East Rother boundary to Cross-in-Hand, thence to Blackboys, 

 Hawkhurst Common, East Hoathly, Stone Cross (to the West of Yert 

 Wood), from thence across the Dicker by way of Broad Oak to Chal- 

 vington, Selmeston, Bopeep Gate, and Firle Beacon, from thence across 

 the high ridge of the Downs by Sutton and Chinting to the Signal 

 House cast of Seaford. The smallest district, and relatively the 

 richest in peculiar species. 



Fumaria densiflora. Phyteuma spicatum. 



pallidiflora. Pyrola minor. 



Bupleurum aristatum. Sibthorpia europaaa. 



Seseli Libanotis. Bartsia viscosa. 



Petafaites vulgaris. Carex fulva. 



Lactuca saligna. 



YI. East Rother. 

 Starting from the coast, Kent boundary to Tunbridge Wells, 

 thence by road skirting Eridge Park and Blackthorn Hill to Rother- 

 field, on to Butcher's Cross, Five Ash Down to Cross-in-Hand, then 

 main road to Burwash as far as east side of Heathfield Park, through 

 Cade Street, Punnett's Town, Turner's Green, Collier Green, Dalling- 

 ton, Ketherfield Green, thence to Battle by the high road dividing 

 High Wood from Battle between Beauport and Crowhurst Parks, and 

 through Hollington to St. Leonards. With the exception of the im- 

 mediate vicinity of Hastings and the sea-coast, this district has not 

 been very thoroughly botanised. The only plants restricted to its 

 limits, the first of which is doubtless extinct, are : — 



Matthiola incana. Pimpinella magna. 



Trifolium suffocatum. Carex montana. 



YII. Medway. 

 Bounded by Surrey and Kent to the N., E. by the Rother, S. by 

 the Cuckmere and Ouse, leaving the Ouse district at Hand Cross, 

 northward to Pease Pottage Gate, then westward across the Forest 

 to Colgate, Stone Lodge, then bearing N.E. to Roughey Street, E. of 

 Rusper, to the Surrey boundary. Many common species not actually 

 known by me to grow in this district are simply omitted for that
