Geeanice^ : Geranium /««c«<^M»rt —mentioned as an East Kent 



plant, has not been noticed by Mr. Dowker. 

 Geranium striatum — a garden escape, seems naturalized at 



Waltham and elsewhere. 

 Genista anglica — a rare plant in East Kent, is reported to be 



diminished in one of its localities. 

 EosACEiE : Potentilla comarum — is still abundant in the ponds of 



Lydd beach ; it has not been found elsewhere in East Kent. 

 Saxifragace^ : Chrysosplenium alternifolia — is now rare in Kent. 

 HALoEAGiACEiE : Callitriche autumnalis — is found in ditches at 



Lydd, and thereabouts, but not elsewhere. 

 ONAGRACEiE : EpHobium Lamoyi ; alsinefolium ; and olscurum have 



all been found by Rev. E. S. Marshall in the neighbourhood 



of Stourmouth, but it is only of late that these sub-species 



have received attention. 

 CKASsuLACE.aE : Cotylcdon ■umbilicus — has been growing for many 



years on Goodnestone Church, near Wingham (G.D.) It is 



also well established on an old flint wall of a farm house at 



Chilham (W. H. Hammond). 

 IJMBELLiFERiE : JErynyium campestre — a few years ago existed on 



the sand dunes near Romney, it has, however, now disappeared,

(S.W.) 

 Bupleurum tenuissinmm — is still to be found in abundance in its 



old habitat. 

 Cicuta virosa — has been recorded as an East Kent plant, but we 



have no knowledge of recent finds. 

 Am7ii majus — (an introduced European.) Mr. Dowker found 



some two or three years in succession near Sandwich, but it

thirty years in the parish of Preston, near Wingham, where it 



is established in some arable fields, remote from any dwelling. 



(See Journal of Botany). 

 JEnanthe lachenalia — is still abundant near Sandwich. 

 Peucedanum officittale — it is very remarkable that this plant, 



which grows in such profusion between Whitstable and 



Swalecliffe, where it has been established for so many years, 



should not have extended to other parts, where soil and 



situation seem equally suitable. 



Caprifoliace^ : Sambucus ehulus — has disappeai-ed from many of 

 its old localities, though this rare .phiut may occasionally be 

 still met with. 



DiPSACE^ : Dipsacus pilosus— seems to appear at intervals near 

 its old haunts, but never in abundance. Mr. Dowker has 

 also met with it from time to time at Old Park, Canterbury.
