which I believe to be Adiantum Capillus Veneris. 
I was assured by a botanical gentleman of Cheadle, 
whose name I have forgot, that it did grow there. 
Cynoglossum omphalodes grows on a rock planted 
with trees on the left hand of the road from Blore 
to Ilam, close to Ilam grounds: I suppose it to be 
naturalized. The gardener, who has lived there 
many years, assured me that in his remembrance 
no flowers had ever been planted there. This visit 
to Cheadle I made in the month of May. Unfortu- 
nately the weather was bad, and the season back- 
ward; otherwise I might have been more success- 
ful in botany, as the country appeared promising. 
Erodium maritimum is by no means unfrequent 
about Areley: the Morfe in particular, at Bridg- 
north, produces it abundantly. Carex curta grows 
in a pit near the High Trees, a farm-house between 
Areley and Enville. tropa Belladonna, by a road- 
side near Mr. Child’s of Kinlet. Iéeris nudicaulis, 
frequent on the Morfe and Hartlebury Common. 
Polypodium Oreopteris, on Hartlebury Common 
and the N. W. side of Aberley Hill. Carex strigosa, 
in Clifton Woods on the river Team. JLnula Hele- 
nium,about half a mile from Areley, but near a farm- 
house. Serapias ensifolia, a single plant, under- 
neath the Pyrus domestica. This famous tree is in 
a very unhealthy state, in part owing to a large oak 
which overshadows it. I am almost inclined to adopt 
an opinion which I have heard respecting it,—that 
there once was a garden on the spot; for though 
there are no certain vestiges of it, I am much puz- 
zled by finding Ligustrum vulgare growing there,
