260 NOTES ON THE FLORA OF SUSSEX. 
? Erysimum cheiranthoides, L. I have frequently seen this plant in 
cornfields, and several localities have been communicated. 
Sisymbrium Sophia, L. Watson includes this without question, but 
I know of no habitat for it. 
? Matthiola incana, R. Br. There is probably no doubt that this 
plant formerly grew in the vicinity of Hastings, although all traces of 
it have long since disappeared. In Dawson Turner’s Herb., now at 
Kew, there is a specimen from thence dated 1806. Borrer’s specimen 
is labelled, “ Cliffs E. of Hastings,” and in his manuscript notes I 
find, “ scarcely accessible." 
? M. sinuata, R. Br. I can find no reliable record of this plant 
having been found in the county. Hooper—Watson’s authority, I 
presume—is not always trustworthy. 
* Dianthus deltoides, L. 1 have specimens of this which I found on 
the railway near Hassock's Gate station, and Mr. Helyer found it near 
Shoreham. ; 
? Silene Anglica, L. I have found it in great abundance in different 
parts of the country, and I have seen Sussex specimens collected by 
Borrer, Bromfield, and others. 
? S. noctiflora, L. I have seen one specimen only, and that is in 
Herb. Borrer, from “ Seddlescoombe, near Poynings, 1814." 
* Arenaria leptoclados, Guss. Appears to be the commoner form on 
the Downs, etc. The Rev. W. W. Newbould has kindly directed my 
attention to a note im Babington’s ‘ Flora of Cambridgeshire,’ from 
which it appears that the late Mr. Borrer not only collected the plant 
in Sussex as long ago as 1844, but was also the first to notice it in 
this country. 
*Sagina nodosa, E. Mey. Omitted by Watson, but it is met with 
in several parts of the county. I have seen it in the forests, and 
Mr. Dyer reports it from the “ Downs, near Brighton," and Jenner 
says it is frequent in the neighbourhood of Tunbridge Wells. 
Linum perenne, L. In Mrs. Merrifield’s ‘Natural History of 
Brighton, we are informed that this grows in the vicinity of Brighton, 
but that is a mistake, I believe. 
? Lavatera arborea, L. Found near the sea in several places, but 
always near cottage gardens. 
? Erodium maritimum, Sm. Formerly found near Bracklesham by 
Dillenius (Ray Syn. ed. 3), and Bognor Rocks by a Mr. Hill, but I
