378 ALDERNEY. 
Fagopyrum esculentum, Moench. A few plants at Rochers 
and in Reuters Valley. 
SANTALACEAE. 
Thesium humifusum, DC. Local. In two or three spots. 
on Butes Hill, where it grew in Babington’s time. Rochers Hill in 
a few places. Longy Common, towards the Nunnery, and eastward. 
beyond the Rifle Butts. Baie de Saye. Sandy field, Platte®Saline.. 
This plant is not known elsewhere in these islands. 
EUPHORBIACEAE. 
Euphorbia Peplis, L. Rare, though plentiful where] it 
occurs. Platte Saline. Crabbie Bay. Although producing an 
abundance of seed, the plants do not reappear in the same spot two 
years in succession. 
E. Helioscopia, L. Common in cultivated ground. 
E. Paralias, L. Rather common on the sandy shores. 
E. portlandica, L. Common all round the coast: often on 
roadside banks and in old quarries. 
E. Peplus, L. Very common. 
Mercurialis annua, L. Very common in cultivated and 
waste ground everywhere. Babington records the var. ambigua, L. 
as found by him at St. Anne’s. : 
CALLITRICHACEAE. 
Callitriche verna, L. Very rare. A few plants in the old 
millpond in Rose Farm Valley. Iam not sure that they belonged 
to this species, as there was no fruit, but I assigned them to C. verna 
as Babington had noted it for Alderney in AZ Sarn. Possibly the 
plant is C. stagnalis. 
URTICACEAE. 
Parietaria diffusa, Koch. Plentiful on some of the walls on 
the outskirts of the town. Also at Longy, Crabbie, Platte Saline, and 
on some parts of the cliffs. 
Urtica urens, L. Frequent in cultivated ground and on 
waste heaps. 
U. dioica, L. Common everywhere.
