W. L. Notcutt ; and in various other places. Not found in the Isle 

 of Wight. 



Drosera anglica. Forest of Bere ; Dr. Pulteney, in Hamp. Rep. 



Tamarix galllca [anglica ?). Erroneously introduced as growing 

 at Hurst Castle : and Freshwater must be expunged from the Hamp- 

 shire Flora, being only known in cultivation as an ornamental shrub 

 within the limits of the county. 



N. B. Elatine hexandra and E. Hydropiper grow in Frensham 

 Pond, Surrey, close upon the Hampshire border, and may be reason- 

 ably expected to occur in the latter county. 



Dianilms prolifer. In some abundance on the turfy parts of Ryde, 

 Dover, where I have seldom failed to see it for these last ten years, 

 though not always in equal plenty. First noticed there I believe by 

 C. C. Babington, Esq. 



Armeria. Gravelly and sandy fields ; rare. I have one 



or two mainland stations for this species, but cannot at present refer 

 to my authorities. Very rare in the Isle of Wight, though truly wild 

 there. 



t ? Saponaria officinalis. At Odiham and between Cheriton and 

 Bramdean ; Dr. Pulteney, in Hamp. Rep. Freefolk ; Rev. G. F. 

 Dawson. I have not as yet seen any Hampshire station for this plant, 

 and cannot pronounce upon the claim of the species to be called wild 

 with us. The tendency in the flowers to become double is so frequent 

 as perhaps to furnish no strong argument against its title to reception 

 when the locality itself is above suspicion. In this island the Sapo- 

 naria is obviously introduced and but very sparingly naturalized. 



Silene anglica. Abundant in many parts of the Isle of Wight in 

 sandy corn-fields, and extremely plentiful amongst turnips at the close 

 of summer. Of this we have two well-marked forms. 1st. An up- 

 right variety, which I call stricta, with very erect often simple stem, 

 and erect or diverging branches; the capsules on diverging, not veflexed 

 pedicels. This, which with Mertens and Koch (Deutschland's Flora) 

 I take to be the S. gallica of authors, is more commonly met with 

 amongst corn and summer crops, though sometimes with the follow- 

 ing later in the year. 2nd. Var. antumnalis. Stems diffuse or pro- 

 cumbent, pedicels (in fruit) finally defiexed. This is a large coarse 

 plant, quite unlike the former in habit, with long, straggling, much 

 branched stems, two or three feet in length, and much larger, more 

 spreading leaves ; abundant in cultivated (chiefly turnip) fields at the 

 close of summer, flowering on till destroyed by the frost. I can find 

 no structural difference betwixt these two forms beyond those of habit,
