 Jelly. ''MS. Flora."

4. North-west District, On the wall by the side of the Chippenham 

 road at Wans. " On thatch about Calne and Christian Malford," 

 Mr. Sole. " MS. Flora." " Malmesbury," Mr. Edward Hull. 



5. North-east District, Walls at Purton. " Wall at the back of 

 Pulton Farm." " Flor. Marlb." The locality in the " South-west 

 District" should again be verified. Has this plant been observed 

 of late at Calne and Christian Malford ? 



3, S. acre, (Linn.) biting Stonecrop Wall Pepper. Engl. Dot. t. 

 839. 



Locality. On walls and roofs, less commonly on the ground. 

 P. Fl. June, July. Area, 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 



Distributed more or less throughout all the Districts. Whole plant 

 smooth, succulent and tender, of a grass-green, forming lax, wide 

 spreading tufts, and when extending itself over the roofs of cot- 

 tages or the tops of walls, its golden blossoms cannot fail to arrest 

 the attention even of the most superficial observer. It is very acrid, 

 and when chewed in the mouth has a hot biting taste, whence, and 

 from the common place of its growth has attained the name of 

 " Wall Pepper." 



4. S. sexangulare, (Linn.) sexangular Sedum, insipid yellow 

 Stonecrop. Engl. Dot. t. 1946. 



Locality. Old walls. P. Fl. July. Area, 1. * * * *

1. South-east District, "On the famous rotten walls of Old 

 Sarum," Mr. Dawson Turner. "Bot. Guide." Prohahly an intro- 

 duced species. Liable to be mistaken at first sight with " S. acre" 

 (L.) which it resembles in the inflorescence, but readily distinguished 

 by the form and insertion of the leaves. This plant am fearful is 

 now lost, not having been found for many years. Mr. James 

 Hussey and myself have repeatedly searched the locality without 

 being successful in finding it. I would suggest that the " Close 

 walls of New Sarum" would be more likely to afibrd " >Seflf«»t
