AN OUTLINE OF THE FLOEA OF SUSSEX, 



reason. There are three species not known to me to occur in any of 

 the other districts, namely : — 



Sagina subulata. Asplenium lanceolatum. 



Festuca sylvatica. 



I have no space here to analyse the components of the whole 

 flora, or to point out its most interesting features ; but I may call 

 attention to the fact that the following plants have not been, so far as 

 I know, found in the adjoining counties ; — Genista pilosa, Vicia lutea, 

 Alchemilla vulgaris^ Bupleurum aristatum, Seseli Lihanotis, Phyteuma 

 fipicatum, Silthorpia europcea, Hahenaria alhida, Carex montana, 

 Festuca sylvatica, &c. Phyteuma spicatum is perhaps the only British 

 plant peculiar to the county. That this is really indigenous I think 

 few will doubt, who have had an opportunity of seeing it growing 

 in widely distant parts of the Cuokmere district, though Mr. "Watson 

 regards it as an alien. Euphorbia pilosa I should also consider truly 

 wild in the Ouse district, though, of course, it is by no means im- 

 possible that it was introduced in some unaccountable manner. It 

 may be interesting to add a list of species recorded as growing in one 

 or more of the three adjoining counties, Kent, Surrey, and Hamp- 

 shire, which have hitherto either not been reported from Sussex, or 

 their existence has not been attested by a competent botanist. Many of 

 them, from their general distribution, are likely to occur in the 

 county, and therefore the young botanist should bear them in mind 

 "when on his rambles. Quite recently Mr. Eoper has added Pyrola 

 minor to the flora of the county, and rediscovered the somewhat 

 doubtful Bupleurum aristatum.
