254 NOTES ON CAMBRIDGESHIRE PLANTS. 



Primula acaulis L. 1. Pasture near Fulbourn Station. 3. 

 Whitwell Wood, and in the locality just given for Hypojntys. — 

 F. elatior Jacq. 3. Gamlingay Wood, fruiting freely. Still plentiful 

 between Long Stow and Bourn and in most of the woods in the W. 

 and S.E. of the county, where it quite replaces P. acaulis L. 



Lysimachia vulgaris L. 5. Burwell Fen ; I. H. Burkill. 7. 

 Ditches by road, Chatteris to Mepal. — L. Nummularia L. 1. Coe 

 Fen, Cambridge; ditch by road to Hinton. 3. Hayley Wood, 

 abundant. 7. Horseway, near Chatteris. This species seems to 

 have taken the place of L. nemornm L. in the woods in W. Cambs. 



AnayalUs tenella L. 2. Still on Sawston Moor ; extinct in the 

 other locaUties in Districts 1 and 2. 5. Wicken Poors' Fen ; I. H. 

 Burkill. Chippenham Fen, sparingly, 1895. 



Samolus Valerandi L. 5. Chippenham Fen, with Menyanthes 

 trifoUata L. 6. Eoswell Pits, Ely. 



Limnanthemum, peltatum S. P. Gmel. is much more widely dis- 

 tributed in Districts 6 and 7 than would appear from the Flora. It 

 is very fine in the wash at the foot of the Old Bedford Barrier Bank, 

 S.W. of Mepal. 



Sympltytum taiiricum Willd. is now well established in several 

 places near Cambridge. 1. Coe Feu, 1890; A. H. Whipple. 3. 

 Barton Road, 1890, and Grantchester, 1891 ; Z. H. Burkill. 



Borago officinalis L. 4. St. Neot's Road near foot of Madingley 

 Rise, one plant, 1894. 



Lithospermum officinale L. 6.''' Roswell Pits, Ely, very local, 

 1895. 



Cuscuta E pithy mum Murr. I am afraid that the reclamation of 

 the heath has destroyed this at Gamlingay (3). It should be looked 

 for on Ken net Heath (5), the only suitable locality now left in 

 Cambs. — C. Trifolii Bab. 1. On Lotus in chalk-pit on Little-trees 

 Hill. 2. Clover-field W. of Dernford Fen. 4. Madingley chalk- 

 pit, on Galium verum, Feucedanum sativum, &c. 



Solanum nigrum L. 5. By the lake, Quy Hall, 1896 ; I. H. 

 Burkill. 



Atropa Belladonna L. 1. Wood by Pampisford Hall, 1893; 

 I. H. Burkill. 



Hyoscyamus niger L. cannot now be said to be "not unfrequent 

 by roadsides, but of uncertain locality" in Districts 1-4. Admitting 

 the latter qualification, it is rarely found nowadays. In the S. of 

 the county I have only seen it in Coe Fen, Cambridge (1), on waste 

 ground in 1895 ; and by the Devil's Ditch near Cambridge Gap (5), 

 where Mr. I. H. Burkill found it in 1895. 



Verhascum Thapsus L. 2. Gravel-pit near Whittlesford Station. 

 3. Fallow near Kingston Wood. — V. 7iigrum L. 5. Plentiful on 

 the rail-banks near Kennet Station ; also between Kennet and 

 Chippenham, and between Chippenham and the Fen. 



Linaria FJlatina Mill. 1. With L. spuria Mill, by Borley Wood. 

 — L. viscida Moench. 5. Railway between Soham and Fordham ; 

 /. H. Burkill. 



Veronica spicata L. 1. Recent search for this in its old station 

 on Newmarket Heath has been fruitless. The character of the
