362 ALDERNEY. 
Rosa spinosissima, L. Grows sparingly and in small patches 
here and there all over the south and west cliffs: never on sandy 
commons, as in Guernsey. 
R. involuta, Sm. One bush in the valley below Essex House. 
Apparently belonging to the var. AZoore:, Baker: but it was not 
possible to decide with certainty from the specimens collected. 
R. tomentosa, Sm. Rose Farm Valley (the var. sudg/obosa, 
‘Sm.), two or three bushes. 
R. rubiginosa, L. Cliffs near Val du Sud, one bush. In 
‘several places near Essex Castle. Another plant found near Val 
du Sud was considered by Mr. Arthur Bennett to be ‘ perhaps near 
R. umbellata, Leers.’ 
R. micrantha, Sm. One bush on the cliffs near Val du Sud. 
In this plant the glands are more pronounced than usual. 
R. canina, L. A form from the valley at Chaise a l’Emauve, 
and another from Essex Castle Hill, in both cases without flowers 
or fruit, were named ‘probably /utetiana, Lem.,’ by Mr. Bennett. 
Var. sphaerica, Gren. Cliffs near Val du Sud =‘ Apparently so, but 
fruit scarcely globose enough.’ Var. dumadis, Bechst. On the 
southern cliffs, scarce. Var. verticillacantha, Merat. Hedge at top 
of Trois Vaux. Var. dumetorum, Thuil. Under the walls of Essex 
Castle. A plant from Rose Farm Valley seems to belong to this 
variety, but it has aciculate peduncles and calyx tube. Var. 
decipiens, Dum. In two places on the cliffs near Val du Sud. 
R. stylosa, Desv. One fine bush in the cliff valley next to 
Val du Sud. A plant from Rose Farm Valley, Mr. Bennett says, is 
‘apparently a systyla form with aciculate peduncles; otherwise 
agreeing with var. ofaca, Baker.’ 
Crataegus Oxyacantha, wy Generally distributed and 
common. Babington is quite wrong in describing the Hawthorn 
as rare in Alderney. 
Pyrus Malus, L. Very rare. One small bush on the shore 
at Baie de Saye. A larger one in the old quarry near Corbelets. 
TAMARISCACEAE. 
Tamarix anglica, Webb. In hedges on the Longy Road and 
near Watermill Farm.
