VOL. xvTi. (2) APPENDIX 281 



2. The following species should be looked for : — 



Dianthus Armeria, any native Gloucestershire localities. 



Stellaria apetala (= 5. Borceana), on the Severn and Wye banks. 



Potentilla palustyis, especially in the Forest of Dean. 



Crataegus Oxyacantha (= C. Oxyacanthoides) , especially in East Gloucester. 



CEnanthe silai folia, from Forthampton parish, or any other part on the West 



side of the Severn. 

 Aster tripolium, Filago minima, and Seiiecio viscosus, from East Gloucester. 

 Erica Tetralix, E. cinerea, from East Gloucester. I believe they are recorded 



thence ; but am not certain. 

 Monotropa Hypopitys, var. hirsuta, i.e., with hairy floral parts. 

 Centaurium pulchellum, any part of the county. 

 Cynoglossum officinale, var. suhglahrum. 

 Veronica scutellata, hairy variety. 

 V. Anagallis, glandular variety. 

 Melampyrum pratense, var. hians, i.e., flower brighter yellow, with gaping 



mouth ; flower smaller 

 Stachys ambigua, from East Gloucester. 

 Lamium hybridum, from West Gloucester. 



Chenapodium muvale and Plantago Coronopus, from East Gloucester. 

 Daphne Mezcreum. 



Scirpus Taberncemontani, from any place where tidal influence is felt. 

 Bromus racemosus. 



(3) The following special points : — 

 \ special look-out should be kept along the east bank of the Severn, above 



Framilode, for salt water, brackish water and tidal mud species. Hardly 



any such plants are recorded for East Gloucester. 

 Arctium specimens, representative and well dried, are required ; chiefly other 



than majus and minus. 

 Tragopogon pratense, the true plant, is wanted, i.e., with the florets a good 



deal longer than the green involucre, &c. 

 Cuscuta, any species, carefully gathered along with part of the host plant, 



wanted. Fresh specimens, kept fresh in transit by careful packing in 



damp paper, are best. 

 Qrobanche of any species should be sent, fresh. 

 Digitalis, in East Gloucester. Native localities wanted. It grew on Marl 



Hill, Cheltenham, and in Coventry Park, Winchcombe. Is it native in 



these places ? It grows in a quarry on Westington Hill. ? Native. 



Euphrasia specimens are wanted. They should be gathered some half-dozen 



together, as they are a very critical genus. 

 Utricularias, from Head of Coombe Hill Canal, Maisemore Ham, Gloucester 



and Berkeley Canal, or elsewhere, are wanted. They should be gathered 



with sufficiency of stem leaves and good spikes of flowers. 



With reference to all these points, it is desirable that specimens, dried 

 or fresh, should be sent to the Editor (Rev. H. J. Riddelsdell, Old Registry, 

 Llandaff) with accurate note of the locality in which they were gathered. The 

 result aimed at is (i) the confirmation of records, many of which are doubtful ; 

 {2) the exact determination of a locality, especially as to which of the divisions 

 or districts it is in ; and (3) the further elucidation of the distribution of criti- 

 cal species. Some of the records in the first list, which want confirmation, 

 are merely verbal : others are supported with specimens ; but it is desirable 

 to trace all of them further.
