LYME REGIS PLANTS. 

 By H. W. Pugsley, B.A. 



The following plants, which were found near Lyme Regis in 

 the early part of last September, have not, so far as is known, been 

 hitherto recorded for that district. Owing to the exceptionally 

 dry summer vegetation had suffered considerably, and other species 

 W'Cre probably missed in consequence ; and, although I searched 

 diligently, I was unable to find a single plant of any Fumaria. 



The abundance of Carex pendnla, not only in the woods but 

 on the cliffs and hedgebanks in every direction, is worthy of note ; 

 and Pulicaria dysenterica seemed to be the one plant everywhere 

 that was not affected by the heat. 



Of Polygonum Bali, which is recorded in the Flora of Dorset 

 for both Lyme and Charmouth, I failed to find any specimens, and 

 as large prostrate forms of P. aviculare occur on the beach at the 

 former place, it is possible that these have been mistaken for it. 



The plants noted in Dorset (v.-c. 9) are : — 



Spergularia salina Presl. On Cobb and harbour piers at 

 Lyme. — S. rupestris Lebel. On Cobb and piers at Lyme with 

 preceding ; also on walls above promenade. — S. salina x rupestris. 

 One plant, with parents, on harbour pier at Lyme. This plant, 

 which formed a considerable and very lioriferous tuft, was wholly 

 glandular and noticeably intermediate in its floral characters, the 

 petals being rose-coloured, with a wliite base, much as in S. salina, 

 but approaching those of S. rupestris in size. A curious feature 

 was the production of the inflorescence into long and many- 

 flowered cymes of shortly bracteated flowers, and of over one 

 hundred and fifty capsules examined in these cymes, every one 

 was found to be quite abortive.
