Silene dicliotoma, Ehrh., an eastern European species, 

 often found on waste heaps in Great Britain, occurred in 

 a solitary example. 



Malva parvifiora, Linn., another Iberian plant, found 

 also in southern France, Dalmatia, and Greece, was 

 plentiful in 1908, but infrequent in 1909. 



Linum usitatisswmm^ Linn. The common flax was 

 an occasional plant of stunted growth. 



Lupinus liiteus, Linn., a Spanish and Italian species, 

 was found on the sandhills of the South Drive, and, 

 although I have not seen it in cultivation in the neigh- 

 bourhood, it may well be a garden escape, though found 

 on ground recently abandoned by poultry and now 

 covered with dwelling houses. 



Trigonella polycerata, Linn., a French and Spanish 

 plant, was found quite fresh in my collecting book ; I was 

 unaware that I had collected it, as it was entangled with 

 the stem of another plant, and though it was derived 

 from the poultry area I could not re-find the species. 



Melilotits indica. All., occurred in great abundance, 

 especially in an area in Devonshire Road now covered 

 with dwellings. 



Coronilla varia, Linn., with a wide area of distribution 

 on the Continent, was represented by a single plant. 



Vicia pannontca, Cr., var. purpurascens^ DC, an 

 Austrian and further eastern plant, and two undetermined 

 Vici'cs, were amongst the aliens recorded, but only in 

 small quantity.
