FLOWERING PLANTS. 55 
Abundant in 1893 in a cornfield between Les Prevosts and Grantez 
Mill. Field at Caudré (vi.) in 1894. Lane above the Trinity 
Houses (v.) in 1898 (Miss B. Agnew). Babington found this plant 
growing ‘near the brick-kiln in the Rohais Road,’ a locality which 
has long since been built upon. 
Le,idium campestre, R. Br. Mithridate Pepperwort. 
Casual. First record: Royle, 1892. 
A single specimen was found by Mr. T. C. Royle in 1892 at the 
Vale, on the roadside between Queen’s Quarry and Bordeaux. 
According to Corbitre (Wouv. /. Norm.), this plant is rare or 
altogether absent ‘sur les terrains purement silicieux’ in Normandy, 
which seems to be the case also in Guernsey. 
Lepidium Smithii, Hook. Smooth Field Pepperwort. 
Native. First found: Gosselin, 1788. 
Rather common in all parts of the island, growing in waste 
ground, dry banks, and field corners. In Gosselin’s list it is given 
under the name of Zh/aspz hirtum, and specimens so labelled are in 
his herbarium. 
Lepidium sativum, L. Common Cress. 
Casual. First record: Marquand, 1891. 
About twenty plants in 1891 on the shore at the south side of 
Grand Havre : undoubtedly escapes from cultivation. | his species, 
said to be a native of Persia, has no claim whatever to rank among 
indigenous plants, but, having long been grown as a salad in many 
parts of England, it has now become in some places semi-naturalised. 
Lepidium ruderale, L. Narrow-leaved Pepperwort. 
Denizen (?. First record: Babington, 1839. 
Very rare. Several scattered plants on the quarry-heap near 
the Vale Castle in 188, and for some years afterwards; also a few 
on the roadside near Rocques Barrées. Waste ground on the road- 
side by Bordeaux Harbour, fifteen or twenty plants in 1890; about 
as many there in 1899. Babington records this species on the 
authority of H. O. Carré from ‘ roadside near Grande Marche.’ 
Lepidium latifolium, L. Dittander. 
Native. First found: Gosselin, 1788. . 
Rare, but plentiful where it occurs. In a field on the left side 
of the road entering Cobo, where Babington found it sixty years 
ago. Les Goubais, between Noirmont Mill and Grandes Rocques, 
where it has existed for considerably over a century, as shown by a 
specimen preserved in Gosselin’s herbarium labelled ‘near Michel 
Le Pettevin’s house at the Grandes Mielles.’ On the green at the 
western end of Vazon Bay. In a sandy hollow near the sea at 
Portinfer. Close to a cottage at the Landes, near Fort Doyle ; 
probably planted there.
