Artemisia Absmthium L. 2. Alcombe, Pugsley. 



Petasites ovatus Hill {officinalis Moench). 1. Exton ; Wins- 

 ford. 



Senecio viscosus L. 8. Railway track between Bruton and 

 Castle Gary, Moss ; doubtless introduced with ballast. 



Gnicus eriopJiorus Eoth. 8. Bruton, Moss ; he remarks that 

 it is much finer here than in Cambridgeshire.— CjJraie7^s^s Willd. 



2. Crowcombe Heathfield. 3. Moors near Wiveliscombe. 8. Old 

 pastures on the Oxford Clay between Bruton and Kingswood 

 Warren, Moss. 



Serratula tinctoria L. Red Hill, above Wrantage. 



Picris hieracioides L. 2. Tivington, Pugsley. — P. echioides L. 



3. West Hatch. 



Grepis taraxacifolia Thuill. 3. Monkton Heathfield ; walls, 

 Creech St. Michael. 8. Common in hedges and arable fields near 

 Bruton, Moss. 



Hieracium mamdaUim Sm. 9. Cheddar Gorge, on rocky lime- 

 stone debris : " two vigorous plants, bearing all the appearance of 

 a native : indeed, the specimens I saw could not have been 

 planted." Rev. A. Ley in litt., July, 1909. As this species has 

 been found truly wild by him and Rev. W. R. Linton on the same 

 fonnation in Yorkshire, it is very probable that these had been 

 seeded down from the upper cliffs, which he had not time to 

 explore. Its occurrence here is parallel to that of H. rubigi- 

 nosum ; he could not see H. maculatum in any of the village 

 gardens, nor has anyone else observed it there. — H. uvibellatum 

 L. 3. Lane at Coombe, near West Monkton. 



Taraxacum Icevigatum DC. {obliquum Jord.). 2. Plenty on 

 Minehead Warren, E. W. Hunnybun.

 selwood. 8. Kingswood Warren and woods above. Moss. 



Oxycoccus quadri2)etala Gilib. Seen in fruit between Ashcott

 Hatch and Hatch Beauchamp. 



Anagallis foemina Mill, {cocrulea Schreb.). 5. With Altlicea 

 hirsuta in an open, stony pasture, Copley Wood, between Somer- 

 ton and Butleigh, 1902, Moss ; specially noted as not being " a 

 blue-flowered A. arvensis." — A. tenella L. 3. Near Wiveliscombe. 



4. Swamp at the south end of Chard Reservoir. 



Geniiana campestris L. " I have not seen this in the county. 

 Murray's station [Bradley Knoll, near Kilmington] is now in 

 Wilts ; but I could only find G. Amarella and its var. prcecox in 

 this station," Moss in litt. It is quite possible that G. baltica 

 Murb. may yet be found in Somerset, though it is usually a coast- 

 plant ; but I altogether distrust the records for restricted G. cam- 

 pestris in the south, and suspect that the alleged inland stations 

 really belong to G. lingulata var. pracox, which I know well, and
