260 NATURAL HISTORY 
our limits would be a needless work; but a short 
list of the more rare, and the spots where they are 
to be found, may neither be unacceptable nor un- 
entertaining. 
Helleborus fetidus, stinking hellebore, bear’s- 
foot or setterwort:; all over the Highwood and 
Coney-croft Hanger ; this continues a great branch- 
ing plant the winter through, blossoming about 
January, and is very ornamental in shady walks 
and shrubberies... The good women give the leaves 
powdered to children troubled with worms ; but it 
is a violent remedy, and ought to be administered 
with caution. 
Helleborus viridis, green hellebore: in the deep 
stony lane, on the left hand, just before the turning 
to Norton farm, and at the top of Middle Dorton 
under the hedge; this plant dies down to the 
ground early in autumn, and springs again about 
February, flowering almost as soon as it appears 
above ground. 
Vaccinium oxycoccus, creeping bilberries, or cran- 
berries: in the bogs of Bin’s Pond. 
Vaccinium Myrtillus, whortle, or bilberries: on 
the dry hillocks of Wolmer Forest. 
Drosera rotundifolia, round-leaved sundew: in 
the bogs of Bin’s Pond. 
Drosera longifolia, long-leaved sundew: in the 
bogs of Bin’s Pond. 
Comarum palustre, purple comarum, or marsh 
cinque-foil: in the bogs of Bin’s Pond. 
Hypericum androsemum, Tutsan, St. John’s- 
wort: in the stony, hollow lanes. 
Vinca minor, less periwinkle : in Selborne Hang- 
er and Shrub Wood.
