act ALDERNEY. 
Cakile maritima, Scop. More or less common in all the 
sandy bays. 
Crambe maritima, L. Rare. On the shingle by Fort 
Houmet, in good quantity. Western side of Platte Saline, one 
plant. 
Raphanus Raphanistrum, L. Scattered plants on the 
Railway embankment, and in the neighbourhood of Longy. 
R. maritimus, Sm. Plentiful on the cliffs and more or less. 
all along the sandy coast. Plants with white flowers occasionally 
occur. 
RESEDACEAE. 
Reseda lutea, L. It is doubtful if this plant still occurs in 
the island. Sixty years ago it was found by Babington ‘between 
Braye Bay and Mauney Barracks,’ but it is not there now. 
R. Luteola, L. Rare generally: occasionally plentiful in old 
quarries, and on the Railway line. A few scattered plants near 
Essex Castle. 
CISTACEAE. 
Helianthemum guttatum, Mill. This is perhaps the most 
interesting of Alderney plants, as it occurs nowhere else in the 
British Isles, except in Jersey. It grows in the greatest profusion 
along a quarter of a mile of cliff on the south coast, not far from 
Val du Sud. At the beginning of June it is in full flower: I have 
seen it as early as May 18th, and as late as June 23rd. It is 
curious that, although the flowers (which expand only in bright 
weather) are not injured by a violent wind, the most careful handling 
will not prevent the petals dropping as soon as the plant is gathered. 
The dead and dry plants retain their leaves and remain conspicuous 
throughout the summer. Occasionally the flowers are unspotted. 
VIOLACEAE. 
Viola Riviniana, Reich. Common throughout the island. 
V. arvensis, Murr. In cultivated ground: rather rare, but 
generally distributed.
