FLOWERING PLANTS. 61 
CARYOPHYLLACEAE. 
(Dianthus Armeria, L., the Deptford Pink, occurs in Alderney 
and Sark.) ; 
(Saponaria officinalis, L. Soapwort. This species has been 
recorded for Sark, but it has no title to a place in the Guernsey list, 
as the plant I recorded in 1891 as ‘overrunning a low hedge in the 
lane from Cobo to Ozanne’s Tower—-probably an old garden escape,’ 
subsequently proved to be simply the ordinary cultivated form, with 
double flowers. ) 
Saponaria Vaccaria, L. 
Casual. First found: Miss Agnew, 1900. 
Growing in company with several other rare Casuals in an old 
neglected garden in Hauteville in t900: found by Miss B. Agnew. 
Silene anglica, L. English Catchfly. 
Colonist. First record: Gosselin, 1815. 
Rather common in cultivated fields in all districts ; plentiful but 
dwarf, on the cliffs near Mont Herault (v1.).. I have found the var. 
vosea near Miellette Bay (1x.) and also on the Vale Castle Hill 
intermixed with S. guinquevulnera. Probably S. gallica also occurs 
here: I have seen plants which perhaps belong to that form in 
Alderney. Mr. J. C. Melvill considers S. ew-gallica, anglica, rosea, 
and guinmguevulnera all forms of one protean species, as they cannot 
be distinguished except by the petals. See Journ. Bot., 1880, p. 146. 
Silene quinquevulnera, L. 
Native (?). First record: Gosselin, 1815. 
This plant is strictly a variety of the last, but it deserves separate 
notice on account of its being peculiar to the Channel Islands. 
Abundant on the east side of Vale Castle Hill. South side of 
Grand Havre. Coast west of the Vale Church. Dr. Boswell, in 
Engl. Bot., ed. 3, considers this plant truly wild in Guernsey, and I 
am inclined to agree with him, more particularly as it is included in 
the list of indigenous plants compiled by Gosselin as far back as 
1788. 
Silene inflata, Sm. Bladder Campion. 
Casual (?). First record: Gosselin, 1815. 
Very rare. A few plants on the Vale Castle quarry-heap in 
1890. Shore by Mont Crevelt, one or two. One near Ozanne’s 
Mill in 1893, and a few more the following year in a lane close by. 
A small clump by the mill above Moulin Huet in 1899 (Andrews). 
The rarity of this species is somewhat remarkable, as it is common 
in Normandy and also in Alderney. It is the Cucubalus Behen of 
Gosselin’s list.
