A perusal of the foregoing lists will, I think, demonstrate the neg- 

 lect the Flora of Hampshire has experienced as compared with those 

 of the other south-eastern counties, since in all these last a fair pro- 

 portion of the genera and species just enumerated have been found, 

 some of them abundantly, and others by no means sparingly distri- 

 buted. The central, southern and eastern districts have received the 

 gieater share of the limited attention bestowed on the county ; the 

 north and north-western part is nearly an untrodden field for the bo- 

 tanical explorer, and merits particular investigation, as likely to pro- 

 duce some of the species proper to Berkshire and Oxfordshire, as 

 Iberis amara and others, though much remains to be discovered in all 

 quarters. Even whilst penning these remarks, I have made an addi- 

 tion to the Flora of this pretty well perambulated island in Polygonum 

 minus, which grows in profusion on Sandown Level, mixed with and 

 in a great measure masked from observation by the taller P. Hydro- 

 piper ; the drains intersecting the low meadows to the east of the high 

 road from Ryde to Ventnor being conspicuous at a distance by a 

 fi-inge of the richest colouring, the joint production of the exuberant 

 gi-owth of these two species. Alyssum calycinum has very recently 

 been discovered growing abundantly on a fallow field behind Alver- 

 stoke, along with Camelina sativa, by Miss L. Minchin, from whom T 

 have a specimen of the former, which is most probably introduced 

 with glass or other seeds ; the presence of the latter, which I have not 

 received an example of, is curious, as I believe it is seldom seen but
