FLOWERING PLANTS. 179 
1892. This field would never be manured, so that it is not easy to 
guess how the plant got there. A good many plants in an old 
quarry behind Noirmont House (1x.) in 1892. A few plants on the 
shore at Grand Havre in 1899 (Andrews). Certainly garden out- 
casts in the two last stations. Mr. E. Dupuy has in his herbarium a 
specimen gathered by him in Fort Bay in May 1865. 
Scilla autumnalis, L. Autumnal Sguill. 
Native. First record: Gosselin, 1815. 
Common on the cliffs, and in the north and north-west: 
abundant on Lancresse Common. Occasionally found with white 
flowers. 
Allium Ampeloprasum, L. Wild Leek. 
Native. First record: Babington, 1839. 
Very rare. At Fort George in three places, growing in plenty 
and, as far as can be judged, perfectly wild. Babington found the 
plant ‘on a nearly inaccessible cliff beyond the Artillery Barracks,’ 
and remarks: ‘This plant appears to be truly indigenous, for I am 
informed by Messrs. H. O. Carré and F. C. Lukis that it existed in 
this place before the erection of the Fort, and that at that time the * 
hill had been uninhabited from time immemorial.’ It does not 
appear to have been found truly wild anywhere nearer to Guernsey 
than the island of Yeu, of the coast of La Vendée, in the Bay of 
Biscay, where it is known under the name of Caramdéole. 
(Allium Babingtonii, Borr. is noted for Guernsey in the list in 
Ansted’s Channel Islands. Probably the preceding species was mis- 
taken for it.) 
Allium vineale, L. Crow Garlick. 
Native (?). First record: Babington, 1839. 
Very rare. In 1890 I found two plants belonging to the var. 
compactum, Thuil. on the banks of the stream between Grande 
Mare and Vazon Bay. Babington found it near Rocquaine Bay. 
Allium triquetrum, L. 
Alien. First found: Salwey, 1847. 
Common on roadside hedges and in bushy corners in every part 
of the island, but less frequent in the north than in the central and 
southern parishes. This beautiful plant, which flowers in April, is 
now so thoroughly established and so universally distributed that it 
has all the appearance of being native: yet it was unknown in the 
island sixty years ago, when the //ora Sarnica was compiled. From 
a note in the Biographical Index of British Botantsts it appears that 
it was first discovered as a Guernsey plant in the year 1847 by the 
Rev. Thomas Salwey, an eminent lichenologist, who was one of the
