8 Bailey, Adventitious Vegeiation ofSt.Annes-on-tJie-Sea. 



the examples o{ lycopsioides had their anthers at, or below, 

 half the length of the tube of the orange-coloured corolla, 

 the typical example of the species having them much 

 below half that length. The nine unnamed sheets represent 

 some other species having a corolla with a shorter tube, 

 and in which the anthers are above half the length of the 

 tube. In 1907 these plants occurred in the greatest pro- 

 fusion and I was able to .send away more than 200 sheets 

 for herbaria. In the season following it was not possible 

 to collect more than a dozen examples, through the 

 building of a pair of houses and the levelling of the 

 adjacent land for roads and gardens, Devonshire Road, 

 and a new road exactly intersecting the locality. AJycop- 

 sioides has occurred in Europe, but the only examples of 

 this species in my herbarium are a stunted, unbranched, 

 form not exceeding four inches in height, from the neigh- 

 bourhood of Berlin ; whereas the St. Anne's plants are 

 luxuriant examples eighteen inches or more in height. 

 From a note in the 'Prodromus' (vol. x., p. 11 8) it would 

 appear that the native country of A. lycopsioides is un- 

 known, though thought to be north western America, 

 The species of Anisijickia must be spreading in this 

 country, as I have a third species collected by Mr. Jas. E. 

 Macdonald on waste heaps at Foynton, in Cheshire ; in 

 this example the stamens are in the throat of the corolla. 

 A. angustifolia, Lehm., if correctly named, was sent me 

 from Rouen in 1904. 



Anchusa italica, Retz. A plant with a wide European 

 distribution, occurred in the middle of October, 1907 ; 

 few examples were seen, as by that date the traffic across 

 the sandhills did not permit the plants to mature. 



Myosotis virginica (Linn.), B.S.P. This was one of
