FLOWERING PLANTS. IOI 
neglected garden at Hauteville during the summer of 1900. This 
species, like Caucalis daucoides, belongs to calcareous soil, and is. 
foreign to these islands. 
Bupleurum protractum, Link. 
Casual. First found: Miss Agnew, 1900. 
One plant was found growing in the same garden as the last 
species, to which it is closely allied, and for which it might easily be 
mistaken. It is extremely rare in Normandy. 
Oenanthe fistulosa, L. Common Water Dropwort. 
Native. First found: Gosselin, 1788. 
In Gosselin’s old herbarium there is a well-preserved specimen 
labelled ‘ Moist places at the Grand-Miles,’ a locality which is better 
known as Grandes Mielles. It was also found at the Vale in 1864 
by Mr. E. Dupuy, as proved by a specimen in his collection. This 
species seems to have been confused with Oecen. Lachenalit, for 
Gosselin adds another station where the latter is plentiful at the 
present time, viz., ‘At foot of a hillock to E. and near the house in 
Mare de Carteret.’ 
Oenanthe Lachenalii, Gmel. Parsley Water Dropwort. 
Native. First found: Gosselin, 1788. 
Local, but usually in good quantity where it occurs. Among 
rushes between Albecq and Vazon. Field near Grandes Rocques 
Hotel. Marshy meadow between Mare de Carteret and Cobo. 
Mr. Andrews found in 1900 one dwarfed plant in a dry field near 
Les Pelleys (vu.). This species is the Oecen. pimpinelloides of 
Gosselin, and a specimen in his herbarium is labelled ‘ Wet ditches 
of the Cléture, and in one of the meadows there.’ This locality 
would be somewhere at the north end of the Vale Road. Also 
under the name of Oen. pimpinelloides, this species is recorded in 
Fl. Sarn. as found by Babington near Long Port, and by H. O. Carré 
at Clos du Vale. 
(Oen. Phellandrium, Lam., is given in Gosselin’s list under the 
name Phellandrium aquaticum, Water Hemlock; but as the plant 
has not been found since, and no specimen exists in his herbarium, 
it must be regarded as a questionable record. ) 
Oenanthe crocata, L. Hemlock Water Dropwort. 
Native. First record: Babington, 1839. 
Very common everywhere in the island on sides of streams and 
ditches. 
The patois name of this plant is Pacx-face. Métivier, who spells 
the word Paim-fets, derives it from a Bas-breton root signifying 
five-fingers ; and in the west of France the local name is Pimpin, 
which seems connected etymologically. This species is one of the 
most poisonous of our native plants, and many deaths have occurred
