Arabis hlrsuta. Abundant about Winchester; Dr. A. D. White ! 

 Isle of Wight, chiefly at Newport and about Carisbrooke Castle ; very 

 local. 



Cardamine amara. Side of river between Titchfield and Hill 

 Head ; Mr. W. L. Notcutt. Absent from the Isle of Wight Flora. 



t IHesperis matronalis. Near Wamford ; Mr. Vickery. Formerly 

 gathered at Bonchurch, Isle of Wight, I believe by Mr. Dawson 

 Turner ; and more recently, at the same place, by my friend John 

 Curtis, Esq., who has figured the specimen in his exquisite work on 

 British Entomology, vol. x., t. 435. I have never yet seen this spe- 

 cies myself in the county, and doubt its claim to be considered as na- 

 tive. It occurs plentifully in the grounds at Old Park, in this island, 

 but too manifestly a stray from the flower-border to warrant its admis- 

 sion even as a naturalized species. 



Brassica oleracea. Very rare at Ventnor, Isle of Wight, but 

 extremely sparingly, in one station only. A specimen or two here and 

 there on the cliffs occasionally. 



Dlplotaxis tenuifolia. Abundant on old walls at Southampton. 

 Not found in the Isle of Wight. 



\Alyssum calycinum. In plenty in a field near Bury Hall, Alver- 

 stoke, on the way across the fields from thence to Privet ; Miss L. S. 

 Minchin ! The ground was in corn this year when I visited the sta- 

 tion, but the plant may reappear after harvest, or when next in lay. 

 It was growing, I understand, with Camelina sativa, a curious circum- 

 stance, as that plant is thought only to be found in flax-fields with 

 us. On the continent it is not restricted to that crop, the culture of 

 which has long been abandoned in this part of England. 



Cochlearia danica. Abundant on the flat shore of Stokes Bay. 

 Very rare in the Isle of Wight. On High Down at Freshwater. 



t ? Armoracia rusticana. Meadows and pastui'es in several parts of 

 the Isle of Wight ; in some of its stations having much the look of a 

 native, but seldom flowering 'in any. More commonly it is found 

 near houses, and was formerly abundant and still maintains its ground 

 in the stiff soil of the Dover at Ryde, but never blossoms there. 



Thlaspi arvense. Fields in the Isle of Wight, but very local. 



Teesdalia nudicaulis. Southsea Common ; Mr. Hudson ! Plenti- 

 ful on the shore at Anglesea ; Miss L. Minchin !!! Abundantly on 

 sandy heaths and commons between Farnham and Petersfield ; Mr. 

 W. Pamplin. Not yet observed in the island, but I can scarcely 

 think it is really wanting here. 



Lepidium campestrc. Extremely common in cultivated fields on
