Guernsey Soc. Nat. Sc. for 1898.

Rubus caesius, L. Dewberry. 
Native. First record: Marquand, 1891.

Noted by Rev. W. Moyle Rogers as rather frequent in Guernsey. 
(At the end of the list of Rubi, published in Zrans. Guern. Soc. 
Nat. Sc, 1898, p. 296, Rubus Genevierit, Bor., is erroneously noted 
for Petit Bot Bay. Mr. Rogers informs me that it has no right to a 
place in the list, as this bramble has not so far been found in the 
Channel Islands. It is not a British species.) 
Geum urbanumn, L. Herb Bennet. 
Native. First record: Gosselin, 1815. 
Generally distributed, but not common, though often plentiful 
where it occurs. Mostly found in the interior of the island. 
The name Herb Bennet (in French Zenoize) is taken from the 
old Latin Herba benedicta, because the plant was supposed to ward 
off all evil spirits, venomous serpents, and wild beasts. ‘ Where the 
root is in the house,’ says a writer at the end of the sixteenth 
century, ‘the devil can do nothing, and flies from it; wherefore it is. 
blessed above all other herbs.’
