centre of the Huglienden Woods, in the same county, a rather remarkable 

 habitat for the species. 



Chjpeola lonthlaspi, L. Is enumerated in the London Catalogue,]). 16, 

 among the plants " erroneously recorded, or subsequently extinct in Bri- 

 tain." I have met with no reference to it in the many works which I have 

 consulted. A native of the South of Europe. 



Farsetia incana. Br. " In the year 1766 I found a considerable 

 quantity of this plant near the rope-walk at Weymouth, and on the spot 

 where Gloucester Row and the Royal Palace now stand. It was lost in 

 three or four years after that period." Pulteney, as quoted in B.G. i., 296. 

 It appears to'have occurred under similar circumstances at Lewes, Sussex, 

 where it sprang up " about fifty years ago, on ground broken up for build- 

 ing on. I knew it for a few years as a weed in the recently formed gar- 

 dens ; but I believe it has long since disappeared." W. Borrer Phyt. v., 

 46. O.S. (1854). It is also enumerated by Winch among the plants of the 

 ballast hills of Tyne and Wear .

 by Gerarde under the name of Viola Lunaris sive Bolhonac as having " been 

 found wilde in the woods called Pinner, and Harrow on the Hill, twelve

Camelina dentata, Pers. *' Cultivated fields near Castle-Howard ; H. 

 Ibbotson." Suj^p. to Flo. Yorkshire, p. 44. " Drawn from a specimen 

 collected near Virginia Water." E. Botany, ed. 3, i., 200. In all proba- 

 bility this has as much claim as C. sativa to be ranked among the plants 

 of this country. Professor Babington [Manual ed. v., p. 81.) refers all the 

 British examples of Camelina to C.fcctida, Fr., and states that he has never 

 met with C. sativa, Fr., nor C. sylvestris, Fr. 



Neslia paniculata, Desv. Mr. Irvine has collected it " during several 

 years in the vicinity of Chelsea and Battersea, and especially near the 

 steamboat pier, Wandsworth." H.B.P. 710. A South of Europe plant. 



Lepidium sativum, L. The number of localities for a plant so much 

 cultivated for domestic purposes is of course very great. In Essex, it
