104 GUERNSEY. 
Torilis Anthriscus, Gaert. Upright Hedge Parsley. 
Native. First record: Gosselin, 1815. 
Generally distributed throughout the island, and rather common 
on hedgebanks and in waste places: seldom occurs in any quantity. 
Torilis nodosa, Gaert. Knotted Hedge Parsley. 
Native. First record: Gosselin, 1815. 
Rather rare: mostly found near the sea. Here and there all 
along the coast from Vazon to Lancresse and Fort Doyle. In the 
south in many places on the cliffs. 
Scandix Pecten-Veneris, L. Shephera’s Needle,. 
Casual. First found: Gosselin, 1788. 
Very rare. Shore at Grand Havre, two plants in 1890. One 
plant in a garden in the town, in the same year. Shore below the 
Vale Castle, one specimen in 1891. One or two in an old garden at 
Hauteville in 1900 (Miss B. Agnew). There is a specimen in 
Gosselin’s herbarium labelled ‘Field on a roadside behind the 
Rohais.’ Babington does not record this species for Guernsey. 
The extreme rarity in these islands of a plant so abundant in 
southern England and in Normandy is very remarkable. 
Chaerophyllum sylvestre, L. Wild Chervit. 
Native (?). First found: Derrick, 1895. 
Rare. Growing in some quantity in Lord De Sausmarez’s. 
grounds at the Catel, where it was found in 1895 by Mr. G. Derrick. 
Also as a weed in a garden at Mount Durand. This plant is quite 
common in Alderney. 
Chaerophyllum Anthriscus, Lam. Common Chervit. 
Native. First found: Gosselin, 1788. 
Common in the north-west about Lerée and Richmond: less so 
along the remaining shores of the lowlands. It is the Anthriscus 
vulgaris of Fl. Sarn. and the Scandix Anthriscus of Gosselin, in 
whose herbarium there is a specimen from ‘near the Long Store.’ 
Gerarde is loud in his praise of this plant, which ‘ exceedeth all 
other sallads by many degrees ;’ while, for old people, ‘it rejoiceth 
and comforteth the heart, and increaseth their strength.’ 
Chaerophyllum temulum, L. Rough Chervil. 
Native (?). First record: Babington, 18309. 
This species is noted for Guernsey, without locality, in the 
Fl. Sarn., but I have no other evidence of its occurrence. It isa 
very common plant both in Normandy and the south of England. 
Conium maculatum, L. Flemlock. 
Native. First record: Gosselin, 1815. 
Rather rare, though generally distributed throughout the island- 
More frequent in the north than in the south.
