Plants growing wild in Hampshire, still in course of publication. 

 Among the latter the following may be enumerated, although it must be 

 observed that many of them are rather additional names than addi- 

 tional species : they are mostly forms, which have been either con- 

 fused with more familiar species, or only distinguished from them as 

 varieties. Those which do not come under this category may be re- 

 ferred to that of the introduced plants. 



Trifolium elegans (Phytol. iii. 47) is recorded by Mr. Hewett 

 Watson as having occurred in clover-fields in Surrey, doubt- 

 less introduced with imported seeds. 



Filago Jussicei (Phytol. iii. 216) is announced by Mr. G. S. Gibson 

 as a British species, occurring in the counties of Cambridge 

 and Essex. Subsequently Mr. Hewett Watson explained 

 that it is identical with the F. spatulata of Presl and Jordan, 

 which he finds in various parishes in Surrey (Phytol. ii. 313). 



Apera interrupta and Orobanche Picridis (Phytol. iii. 269) are 

 mentioned in a Report from the Botanical Society of London, 

 Mr. G. S. Gibson having presented specimens of the two 

 plants to that Society ; the former discovered near Thetford, 

 by the Rev. W. W. Newbould, and the latter found by the 

 same botanist, at Comberton, near Cambridge. 



Alsine rubra, var. media (Phytol. iii. 321). Under this name Mr. 

 F. J. A. Hort records the discovery of a plant in the counties 

 of Devon, Dorset and Pembroke, which is supposed likely to 

 prove a species distinct from A. rubra, and which has, indeed, 

 been described as such by Fries and others. 



Melilotus arvensis (Phytol. iii. 344) is recorded in a Report from 

 the Secretary of the Botanical Society, as having been pre- 

 sented by Mr. G. S. Gibson, from the neighbourhood of Saf- 

 fron Walden, in Essex. 



Potentilla mixta, Mercurialis ovata, Carex Kochiana, Triticum 

 biflorum and Fumaria agraria (Phytol. iii. 328) are an- 

 nounced as British plants by Mr. Mitten, in the ' London 

 Journal of Botany,' for October ; and particulars respecting
