154 ADDITIONS TO THE WYCOMBE FLORA. 
‘ Sefton Arms,’ Stoke” (Phytologist v. 367, N.s.); where it may, 
perhaps, have been introduced. This species is one of our 
prettiest Toadflaxes, the flowers being elegantly striped with 
purple, and very sweet-scented. 
Tur PrimRosE-LEAVED Mutxein (Verbascum virgatum) I dis- 
covered in Hollow Lane on September 12. I had noticed plants 
which I believe to have been this species in the same neighbourhood 
two or three years ago, and again near Well End ; but I did not 
then examine them sufficiently, and thought it possible that they 
might be hybrids between V. Thapsus and J. nigrum. The 
Hollow Lane plant, however, agreed exactly with the description 
of V. virgatum. Tt is new to the county. 
Besides these four plants, which have never been previously 
recorded for our district, there are three others, which had been 
reported as belonging to it, but which, of late years, had not 
been observed, and these are deserving of special notice. 
Of the Frexp Prererworr (Lepidium campestre), which Mr. 
Gaviller found in the neighbourhood of Loudwater, I noticed a 
solitary plant in a cloverfield near Booker. I have never seen it 
elsewhere in the district, and suspect we cannot claim it as a 
genuine native, although generally distributed. 
Tue Sotomon’s SEAL (Polygonatum multiflorum), recorded by 
Withering as growing “about High Wickham, Bucks,” which 
I last year remarked had not been seen recently in our district, 
has been discovered in the Booker Woods by Mr. Avery, growing 
in some plenty. Mr. Edward Wheeler informs me that he believes 
he has seen it in the Penn Woods, a very likely locality. 
Tur Frowerme Fern (Osmunda regalis), which has been 
_ rumoured to occur in various places; has at length been seen 
growing in the district. I purposely abstain from giving any 
indication of its locality; human nature is weak, and the 
Flowering Fern a great temptation ; and remembering the raids 
made upon it in one of its best known places of growth, Burnham 
Beeches, I deem it well to preserve a discreet silence on the 
subject.
