ploides grows, but very sparingly, on the Warren near 
Minchead, and I have noticed the salt wort (Salsoli kalı) 
appear occasionally near the same spot. Erodium mariti- 
mum is exceedingly common in sandy and grassy places 
close to the sea ; it also grows at some distance from it, on 
the summit of Grabhurst, on Minehead Hill, and on a 
wall near Alcombe—three rather unlikely situations for 
this species. Erodium ceicutarium (common hemlock stork’s 
bill) is frequent with white blossoms on Minehead Warren, 
and I remark that a similar change of colour is observable 
in the following when growing in the same locality—viz., 
Lyeopsis vulgaris, Cynoglossum oficinale, Myosotis collina, 
Carduus arvensis, and Veronica chamaedrys. These, with 
the exception of the last named species, are all common 
with white blooms, though plants of the usual colours are 
likewise to be seen in the same spot. Some of the remain- 
ing peculiarly maritime plants of the distriet are, Euphor- 
bia paralias, Plantago maritimum, Triglochin maritimum, 
Juncus maritimus, Scirpus maritimus, Phleum arenaria, 
Glaux maritima, Salicornia herbacea, Schoberia maritima, 
Aster tripolium, Artemisia maritima, Armeria maritima, at 
the mouth of the river Hone ; Silene maritima, at Blue 
Anchor. Trifoium maritimum was observed by Mr. 
Babington when botanizing there some years ago. I may 
here remark that the Flora at and near Blue Anchor is 
partieularly interesting. Ophrys apifera (bee orchis), 
Ophrys museifera (fly orchis), Habenaria chlorantha, Or- 
chis pyramidalis, latifolia, mascula, and Listera ovata, are 
among the Orchidex that oceur there. The other remark- 
able plants in that neishbourhood are Chlora perfoliata, 
Vieia bithynica, Lathyrus aphaca, sylvestris, and Nissolia. 
This latter also grows in the viemity of Minehead. Vi- 
burnum lantana (mealy guelder rose) is common in the
