252 NOTES ON CAMBRIDGESHIRE PLANTS. 



Parnassia palustris L. has not been recorded from Dernford Fen 

 (Newbonld's " Sawston Moor") nor from elsewhere in the county 

 for forty years. It is probably extinct on Shelford Common and 

 Foulmire Moor and at Triplow. It may still exist in the rough 

 pastures about Quy and Tcversham, but, if so, has eluded vigilant 

 search. 



Drosera rotimdifolia L. is now extinct in the localities recorded 

 in the Flora, but Mr. Shrubbs iuforms me it grows in Chippenham 

 Fen (5-). 



Mijriophyllum verticiUatwn L. var. pectmatum DC. 4. Ditch 

 between Milton and the river. — M. spicatum L. 5. Wicken Fen. 



Ly thrum HyssopifoUa L. is probably extinct in all its recorded 

 localities in Districts 1 and 4. 



Bupleurum tenuissinium L. was plentiful and very fine on Water- 

 gull Hill, Sutton (C), in Aug. 1895 (see Journ. Bot. 1884, 28). 



Sium latifoliuin L. 4. Plentiful at intervals in ditches by the 

 railway about 1| miles S.E. of Stretham to within a mile of 

 Waterbeach. 7. Sparingly near Vermuyden's Drain at Horseway. 



Fcmiculuin vulgare Mill. 1. Entrance to great chalk-pit, Hinton 

 (1892) ; escape. 



CEnanthefistulosa Jj. 7. Horseway; Old Bedford Barrier Bank, 

 near Sutton Gault. — (E. Fhellandrium Lam. 2.''- Stream S. of 

 Shelford Station. 7. Horseway; "Washes," and by and in the 

 Old Bedford River, 



Silaiis flavescens Bernh. 2." Dernford Fen, on both sides of the 

 railway. 



Seiimini Carvifolia L. is fairly plentiful at its locality in Dist. 5. 

 I merely mention it because from the account in the Fieport of the 

 Botanical Locality Piecord Club it would appear that the plant 

 occurred in quantity in several localities over a considerable area. 



Caucalis daucoides L. 3. Fields by the Old North Road, 1 mile 

 S. of the station. — C. arveyisis Huds. 8.='' Field a little S.W. of 

 Grantchester. 



Adoxa Moschatellina L. is still plentiful in the lane at the E. end 

 of Chesterton (4), but it does not seem to spread. A remarkable 

 absentee from the wooded districts of Cambs. 



Viburnum Opidiis Jj. 4. Moor Barns. 5.''' Wicken Sedge Fen ; 

 I. H. Burkill. 



Galium Cruciata Scop. 3. Hedge-bank near Lord's Bridge. 



Asperula odorata L. Confirmation of the occurrence of this 

 species in the county is much to be desired. There is no specimen 

 from Gamlingay Wood in Babington's Herbarium. Hall Wood, 

 Wood Ditton, was destroyed before the Flora appeared, and at 

 Fulbourn and Kingston the plant does not seem to have been found 

 since Relhan's time. 



Dipsacus sylvestris Huds. 5. By Spinny Bank, and at Upware. 

 — D. pilosusJj. 1. WoodatHildersham; I. H. Burkill. 5. Plentiful
