370 ALDERNEY. 
Sonchus oleraceus, L. Common. I measured a tall plant 
which grew among brambles on Rochers hillside, and found it very 
nearly six feet in height. 
S. asper, Hffm. Rather common. Var. glandulosus, 
C. & G. Platte Saline. 
S. arvensis, L. Frequent in cornfields and other cultivated 
ground. Grows among brambles in some places on Rochers Hill. 
Crepis taraxacifolia, Thuil. Very common in hayfields and 
pastures: occasionally on roadsides. Flowers earlier than C. vzvens. 
C. virens, L. Common everywhere. Var. affusa, DC. is 
abundant in dry places, and in Reuters Valley I have seen var. 
agrestis, W. & K. 
C. biennis, L. Recorded for Alderney in 47. Sarn., but no 
locality is specified. I have not met with this plant, and rather 
suspect that C. taraxactfolia (which Babington does not mention) 
was the species intended. 
Hieracium Pilosella, L. Rather common throughout the 
island. Var. Peleterianum, Mer. Valley below the Church, and in 
several other places; but much less frequent than the type. 
H. umbellatum, L. Here and there all along the cliffs from 
the Hanging Rock to Clanque and Fort Tourgis. 
CAMPANULACEAE. 
Jasione montana, L. Common on dry, rocky, and stony 
banks and cliffsides ; and in sandy places. 
ERICACEAE. 
Calluna vulgaris, Salisb. Rather common on the cliffs. 
Erica cinerea, L. Very common. Continuing in flower on 
the cliffs throughout the winter. 
OLEACEAE. 
Ligustrum vulgare, L. Very rare. A few bushes on the 
cliffs to the east of Val du Sud. 
Fraxinus excelsior, L. Scattered trees in Longy Valley, 
Reuters Valley, below the Church, and near Rose Farm.
