almost certainly an error for G. AmareVa, which is not giv^en by 



Mavor,] Sulham, Tvfnail, now lost.

Wash and Woodhay Common, Bunny, I. c. Downs above West 



Woodhay, Reeks in Britt. Contr. Greenham, Mr. Tufnail, jun. In 



a field near Enborne Street, Jackson, Plentiful in Sandleford 



Priory Park. 



I think the Sandleford and Enborne Street plants are probably the 



Gentiana baltica, Murbeck, as they agree fairly with the figure in Syme. 



E. B, t. 919, reprinted from the E. B. t. 237, which is referred to that 



plant by Herr Murbeck, but I have seen no authentic specimen of 



G. baltica. The corolla tube is distinctly shorter than the calyx in the 



Enborne Street plant, but not in the specimens from Sandleford 



Priory, but the leaves are rather ovate than spathulate in specimens 



from both localities. The more usual plant of Britain is named 



G. germanica, by Murbeck, but this is a sub-species or variety of G. cam- 



pestris, and not the G. germanica of Willdenow. 



G. baltica is not recorded for any of the bordering counties. 

 G. campestris is recorded for Hants, Wilts, and Oxfordshire (where it 

 is very rare, if not extinct).

 Native. Glareal and pascual. Dry chalk downs on the northern 



escarpment. Very local. A. or B. September-October. 

 First record. G. germanica, from Streatley, by Mr. Pamplin in Phyt. i. 



381, 1842. 



2. Ock. Abundant on Letcombe Castle, where it was gathered by 



Mr. Bellamy in 1890, and near Upton by Miss Fry in the same 

 year. The Upton specimens are not typical and may need 

 a varietal name. 



3. Pang. Streatley, Pamplin. Considerable doubt exists as to the 



correctness of the naming of Pamplin's specimens, as the plant 

 has not since been recorded from that locality. 



Mr. Luxford, to whom Mr. Pamplin sent specimens, thought the 

 Streatley G. germanica to be only a large form of G. Amarella, and it 

 is very possible that he only had the large form of that species 

 (which occurs at Streatley) before him. Luxford, in describing the 

 Streatley plant, does not state that the flowers are larger than in 

 G. Amarella. 



At Letcombe, G. germayiica is associated with G. Amarella, but most 

 of the specimens of the latter plant are out of flower by the time
