FLOWERING PLANTS. 93 
Epilobium tetragonum, L. Long-podded Square-stalked 
Native. First record: Babington, 1839. | Willow-herb. 
Rare. In two places to the east of Ronceval. Field near 
Baubigny, fairly plentiful in 1890. Near Pont Vaillant in two or 
three spots. Lane near Le Graie St. Peter’s (Miss B. Agnew). In 
Fl. Sarn. it is noted for St. Peter-Port, but this would refer to the 
aggregate species, including Z. obscurum. 
Epilobium obscurum, Schreb. Short-podded Square- 
Native. First record: Marquand, 1891. [stalked Willow-herb. 
Common throughout the island, being by far the most plentiful 
‘species of Epilobium found here. 
Epilobium palustre, L. Narrow-leaved Willow-herd. 
Native. First record: Babington, 1839. 
Very rare. In 1889 I found a single specimen of this plant in a 
lane adjoining Grande Mare: but I have not met with it again. 
Babington found it at Long Port and at Paradis. 
Oenothera biennis, L. Common Evening Primrose. 
Alien or Casual. First found: Andrews, 1898. 
Very rare. Several plants on the cliffs above Fort Bay, where 
they have very much the appearance of being wild (Andrews). 
More evident escapes from cultivation have been found in the 
Talbots Valley and near the Vale Castle. This is a North American 
plant, long cultivated in gardens, but now thoroughly naturalised in 
many parts of Normandy, especially in the valley of the Seine. 
Oenothera odorata, Jacq. Fragrant Evening Primrose. 
Denizen. First record: Marquand, 1891. 
On the sandhills on the south side of Rousse Martello Tower, 
plentiful, having all the appearance of being truly native. Abundant 
in small fields near Lancresse Lodge and near Les Mielles. A few 
plants in a waste corner between the Vale Church and Grand Havre. 
Close to Calais quarry (111.) a few plants, probably garden outcasts. 
Vale Castle quarry heap, 1899, and in a quarry at Mont Cuet 
(Andrews). 
Called Evening Primrose or Evening Star because the flowers 
open at sunset and continue expanded throughout the night until a 
little after sunrise : they are deliciously fragrant. 
Circaea lutetiana, L. Enchanter's Nightshade. 
Native. First record: Gosselin, 1815. ; 
Most commonly met with as a troublesome weed in gardens, 
especially in the town; but also found on waste ground and 
borders of lanes in many parts of the island. Its creeping rootstock 
is very difficult to eradicate. , 
This pretty little plant derives its generic name from the circum-
