52 GUERNSE Y. 
Brassica oleracea, L. Wild Cabbage. 
Native. First record: Babington, 1839. 
Very rare: perhaps now extinct. Recorded in A/V. Sarn. as. 
found by S. H. Haslam .on ‘rocks by Clarence Bay,’ where it is 
quite possible the plant still occurs, as that part of the coast is. 
difficult of access owing to the fortifications. The name occurs in 
Gosselin’s list, but the plant so called in his herbarium is Diplotaxis 
murals. 
Brassica campestris, L. Field Cabbage. 
Casual. First found: Gosselin, 1788. 
Rare, and always an escape from cultivation. Var. Rapa, L. 
Carrefour au Lievre, one plant in 1889. Hubit Lanes, one plant in 
1899 (Miss B. Agnew). Many plants on the quarry-heap near 
Bordeaux, and in several places on borders of fields (Andrews). 
Var. Napus, L. One plant at Havelet in 1898 (Andrews). A 
form of this species (probably var. Rapa) in Gosselin’s herbarium is. 
labelled Brassica ortentalts. 
Brassica Cheiranthus, Vill. 
Colonist (?). First record: Marquand, 1891. 
Very rare. A few plants on the large quarry-heap near the Vale 
Castle in 1889 and following years. On the shore at Bordeaux 
Harbour several plants in 1899, I have seen this plant more 
plentifully in Jersey. 
Sinapis nigra, L. Black Mustard. 
Native. First record: Gosselin, 1815. 
Rare. Cliffs above Fort Bay in plenty. Mont Crevelt, sparingly. 
Table mustard is prepared from the seeds of this species. In Shake 
speare’s time mustard was a customary adjunct to pancakes, as. 
witness the amusing scene with Touchstone in As You Lrke Jf, i. 2. 
Sinapis arvensis, L. Charlock. 
Colonist. First record: Gosselin, 1815. 
A common and troublesome weed in cornfields and cultivated 
ground throughout the island, but less abundant than in Alderney. 
The form with hairy pods (var. vz//osa, Merat) occurs occasionally. 
Sinapis alba, L. White Mustard. 
Colonist or Casual. First record: Gosselin, 1815. 
In 1889 I found a few plants on the quarry-heap by the Vale 
Castle, and afterwards a good number in a cornfield at Les 
Naftiaux (11.). Babington records it for Guernsey on the authority 
of H. O. Carré. 
Sinapis incana, L. 
Denizen (?). First record: Marquand, 1891. 
Very rare. Western side of Lancresse Bay. Quarry-heap near 
the Vale Castle. A much commoner plant in Alderney.
