 I. Marston Green ; Solihull ; Lapworth ; Hartshill, <fec. 



II. Whatcote. Rev. J. Gorle; common in Stour Basin. Newb. ; Alcester, 

 &c. Uncertain in its occurrence, will appear year after year 

 with biennial crops, but often absent in the same fields when 

 the crop is an annual one.

Native : In damp woods and meadows, on banks, &e. Common. 

 March to May. Abundant throughout the county. The var. 

 divergens, Schultz, is our only form. 

 CALTHA. 

 C. palustris, Linn. Marsh Marigold. 



Native: In ditches, marshes, and similar places. Common. April 

 to June. More or less abundant throughout the whole ax - ea. 

 Var. b. Guerangerii.

Var. c. minor has been recorded on insufficient grounds. 

 [Eranthis hyemalis, Salisb. Winter Aconite. Occasionally found, 

 but never as other than an introduced plant, or as a stray from 

 cultivation. It occurs near the Parsonage, Curd worth ! In the 

 Hall field, Birdingbury, H. B. ; and abundantly in Stratford 

 churchyard, Pratt.] 



HELLEBORTJS.

 Rowington, H.B. ; abundant, in 1874, in a field near Tarnin- 

 gale Common. 

 Both the above plants are fairly established in some of the locali- 

 ties cited, and apparently remote from gardens, but I do not 

 think they are more than aliens in Warwickshire.

 Delphinium consolida, Linn., is recorded by Purton, i., 255, from 

 Studley, in the Castle field, but has no claim to a place in the 

 county floral
