DORSETSHIRE PLANT RECORDS. 

 By C. E. Salmon, F.L.S. 



In August, 1910, and in the same month of 1911, I was able 

 to spend a little time studying the plants in the Swanage and 

 Studland district, occasionally making excursions to localities 

 further afield. The following notes are the results of various 

 rambles ; the records from the Poole neighbourhood were made 

 in the company of the Rev. E. F. Linton. 



I was somewhat disappointed that Scir2Jn.s nanus {= ]}arvulus) 

 should have eluded me both seasons ; in 1910 Little Sea was 

 swollen considerably with the heavy rains of that year, so much 

 so that the normal margin was completely submerged, and quite 

 un-get-at-able {Pohjiiogon monspelicnsis grew in a spot much more 

 adapted to Phragmites communis !) ; in 1911 the summer caused 

 the water to recede so much that the spots in which the Scirpus 

 should have occurred were quite dry and sun-baked. 



The numbers or letters before localities refer respectively to 

 the divisions in Linton's Flora of Bournemouth (1900) and Mansel- 

 Pleydell's Flora of Dorset, 2nd edit. (1895) ; supposed new county 

 or divisional records are starred. 



Glaucium flavum Crantz. 4. Old Harry. 



Diplotaxis tenuifoUa DC. "4. Old wall, Swanage. 



Spergularia rupestris Lebel. C. Lulworth Cove. 



Hypericum montanum L. 4. Sparingly near Old Harry. 



Geranium Bobertiamim L. var. purpureum (VilL). C. West 

 Weare, Portland. I did not take sufficient notes of the plant 

 when growing to be able to run the dried specimens down to any 

 of the nine varieties of this mentioned by Rouy and Foucaud. 

 \Melilotus inclica All. 1(a). Near the Fever Hospital, Poole. 



Sechim purpureum Tausch {Faharia Koch). -''C. A nice
