COLLECTED BY MR. RUPERT VALLENTIN, IN 19OI-O2.* 



Ranunculus biternatus Sm. 



"Grows near marshes and running streams in both the East 

 and West Falklands." (R. V.) 

 Caltha sagittata Cav. 



" A dwarf specimen. When growing by ponds, this species 

 attains a larger size than our native marsh marigold 

 {C. palustris\..f (R. V.) 

 Cardamine hirsuta L. 

 Cerasthmi arvense L. 

 Cerastium vulgatum L. 

 Sagina procumbens L. 



" Very local and always near settlements." (R. V.) 

 Oxalis enneaphylla Cav. 



"Scurvy Grass, common." (R. V.) 

 Ulex europcBus L. 



" Another familiar plant, reminding one of home, was the 

 common furze, which seemed to take very kindly to 

 these chilly climes. Great bushes of it were in full 

 flower soon after my arrival (in November), the masses 

 of yellow forming a pleasing contrast to the universal 

 greens and greys when viewed from the north side of 

 the Harbour." (R. V.) 

 N.B. — This species is not mentioned in the "Flora 

 Antarctica," so it must have been introduced compara- 

 tively lately. 

 Rubus geoides Sm. 



" Wild Strawberry. Stone runs and valleys, very local." (R. V.) 

 Acaena ascendens Vahl. 



" Growing near the sea and by streams of fresh water. Port 



Louis, E. Falkland, and Ray Cove, West Falkland "
