Aquilegia vulgaris. Woods and copses, also in furze brakes in 

 places innumerable in the county. Truly wild in upland situations ; 

 rarer and perhaps generally naturalized in the lower more enclosed 

 country. Bordean. Near Hambledon ; Dr. Pulteney, in Hamp. Rep. 

 Sinkhorn's Coppice, Otterbourne ; Miss A. Yonge. Near Fording- 

 bridge ; Miss May. About West Meon, with white, red, and blue 

 flowers; Miss E. Sibley. Hockley ; Miss L. Legge. Wherwell Wood, 

 near Andover ; Mr. Whale. In various parts of the Isle of Wight ; 

 truly indigenous. 



t? Delphinium Consolida. Corn-fields occasionally, but rare. Near 

 Andover ; Mr. W. Whale. Very rare in the Isle of Wight, and 

 probably brought in with seed corn. 



XAconitum Napellus. Naturalized in wet ground in a few places 

 both in the county and Isle of Wight ; but certainly this alpine plant 

 is nowhere native in Hampshire. Near Warn ford ; Rev. E. M. Sladen. 



t ^Berberis vulgaris. Pinglestone Down, near Old Alresford ; 

 Mr. J. Forder ! but not having yet seen the station, I cannot say 

 whether this shrub is indigenous there or not. Very rare in the Isle 

 of Wight, and I think certainly not wild in its only locality, a field 

 hedge near Thorley. 



Nymphaea alba. Not, I believe, rare on the mainland of the 

 county, though with the following unknown to the Isle of Wight in a 

 wild state. Abundant with Isnardia palustris in a pool just out of 

 Brockenhurst towards Lyndhurst. Ditches near the Grange Farm at 

 Gomer Pond, Gosport. Near Titchfield and Romsey ; Dr. Pulteney, 

 in Hamp. Rep. Newbury Common, near Hurstbourne ; Miss Had- 

 field ! Cultivated for ornament in the Isle of Wight. 



Nuphar lutea. Pool at Embley, near Romsey, 1844. Boarhunt 

 Mill ; Dr. Pulteney, in Hamp. Rep. Unknown in the Isle of Wight, 

 though I have no reason to suppose it rare in the county generally. 



Glaucium luteum. Common on the Hampshire coasts, on both 

 sides of the Solent. 



Chelidonium majus. I mention this plant because though com- 

 mon in most parts of England, as well as on the main land of Hants, 

 it is decidedly the reverse in the Isle of Wight, where, if it cannot be 

 called exactly rare, it is at least extremely local. 



Papaver hybridum. Frequent and sometimes abundant in the Isle 

 of Wight, and probably on the mainland of Hants. All the other spe- 

 cies, excepting P. somniferum, are common weeds throughout the 

 county. The latter comes up copiously at Ventnor, Isle of Wight, 

 wherever the ground is disturbed for building, with single, full or
