ADDITIONS TO THE " OUTLINE OF THE FLORA OF SUSSEX." 47 



it through several generations from that time. I feel, however, very 

 sorry to find that the distinctions from Archangelica, the angular trans- 

 soction of the mericarp and the equal, broad wings, prove inconstant. 

 The fruits of the garden plant get nearer and nearer Archangelica. 

 The plant grows rather tall, and its name can only be understood by a 

 comparison with a full-grown A. officinalis, as tall as a Horse-Guard. 



A FEW CORRECTIONS FOR, AND ADDITIONS TO, THE 



" OUTLINE OF THE FLORA OF SUSSEX." 



By W. B. Hemslet, A.L.S. 



Since my catalogue of Sussex plants* has been in print I have dis- 

 covered that several common species were inadvertantly omitted in 

 the hurry of copying. Some of these omissions have been pointed out 

 to me by more than one of the contributors to the list, and as I re- 

 ceived a few important notes too late for incorporation, I cannot do 

 better, I think, than publish at once what they contain of interest, 

 together with the corrections. 



In the first place, I will enumerate the species omitted : — Viola 

 hirta, Prunella vulgaris, Carex riparia, and Poa compressa. 



The Rev. H. E. Fox has kindly communicated a long list of plants 

 observed in West Sussex, chiefly near Midhurst, during the month of 

 August, 1875. It contains several additions to those indicated in my 

 catalogue for the West Rother District, and one, Hypericum inontanum, 

 is new to the county. I have not seen a specimen of the latter, but as 

 Mr. Fox's list includes all the other species of Hypericum known to 

 occur in Sussex, I have no reason to suppose that he was mistaken. The 

 following are all from W.R., except where otherwise indicated : — Meco- 

 ?iopsi8 camhrica (a weed in gardens). Erysimum cheiranthoides, Lepiclium 

 Draba, Thlaspi arvense, Polygala vulgaris, var. deptressa, Stellaria 

 aquatica, Spergularia neglecta (Ar.), Hypericum montanum, Agi-imonia 

 odorata, Carum segetum, (Enanthe. LacJienalii, Valerianella Auricula, 

 Campanula rapunculoides (weed in gardens), Lyciiim barbarum (quite 

 naturalised on the shore at Bognor, Ar.), Antirrhimim Orontium, 

 Minmlus luteus (an escape, riverside), Veronica scutellata, Thymus 

 Chamcedrys, Stachys arvensis, Polygonum minus, Chenojwdium Boiius- 

 ITenricus, Viscum album (on one Thorn bush in a garden), Buxus 

 sempervirens (without any remark, though most likely planted), Lemna 

 polyrhiza, Eleocharis multicaulis, and Carex binervis. 



Mr. B. Helyer, junior, sends the following, among other notes : — 

 Crambe maritima, E.R. ; Lathyrus maritimus, E.R. ; Crithmum mariti- 

 ■iniim, E.R. ; Ruhus corylifolius, C. ; Hyoscyamus niger, E.R. ; Monotropa 

 Hypopitys, Ad.; Symphitum officinale, M. ; Orobanche major, M. ; 

 Mentha rotundifolia, W.R. ; Verbascum nigrum, M. ; Anagallis icnella, 

 C. ; Myrica Gale, C, ; and Epipactis palustris. Ad-, 1874.
