316 NOTES ON ISLE OF WIGHT PLANTS. 
this and some other respects, the same proportion to those of R. 
Flammula as the flowers of Caltha radicans do to those of C. palustris 
( fide Icon. E. B. ed. 3, vol. i.). 
Fumaria Borei, Jord. Brixton, Isle of Wight. In a series of 
specimens collected by me at this locality, there are some which agree 
perfectly with the description of F. Borei, Jord., in the third edition 
of * English Botany ' (vol. i. p. 106), and also with specimens in my 
herbarium, of that plant, collected by Mr. Boswell Syme at ** Auchter- 
tool, Fife, September, 1868." Other specimens from the same locality 
at Brixton have a very decided resemblance to the authentic speci- 
mens of F. pallidiflora, Jord., in the British Museum herbarium, and 
especially to a plant collected by Mr. Borrer in 1848 at Bonchurch, 
named by him F. capreolata albiflora, which Mr. A. G. More has 
identified as F. pallidiflora, Jord. These latter plants from Brixton 
also agree with the book descriptions, having recurved fruit-pedicels 
and cream-coloured flowers with dark tips. Probably F. pallidiffora 
and F. Borei are distinct, but the book characters of each are certainly 
not well marked in any of the plants before me. The character given 
by Prof. Babington and Mr. Boswell Syme to F. pallidiflora of the 
length of the fruit being rather more than the breadth, is given by 
Lloyd in his ‘Flore de l'Ouest de la France’ to F. Borei, and he 
also appears to have transposed in his — of the fruit-pedicels 
of the two species the terms “ épais" and * rare." A specimen in my 
herbarium labelled “ F. pallidiflora, Jord., hedgebanks, Cuchandall, 
co. Antrim, Ireland, June 28th, 1866; S. A. Stewart," is clearly Borei. 
Crucianella stylosa, De Cand. This plant has established itself in a 
lane near Carisbrooke Castle, no doubt from some garden, and flowers 
freely, but I have not noticed any fruit formed. I noticed the plant 
in 1866, but I have no doubt it existed there long before that time. 
It is mentioned in * English Botany,’ ed. 8, vol. iv. p. 233, amongst 
the excluded plants, as having been found by Mr. J. G. Baker on the 
embankment near Scarborough Railway Station, Yorkshire. 
Senecio campestris, De Cand. The only locality given in Dr. Brom- 
field's ‘Flora Vectensis,' is one copied from the ‘ Hampshire Repository, 
vol. i. p. 121, in which it oecurs on the authority of the present Dean 
of Winchester and the Rev, Mr. Poulter, “ Cin. alpina —— 
Belhan, pl. I. W.” Neither Dr. Bromfield nor an y one else eve 
ascertained where this locality was, and the plant was therefore dod
