Campanulacece. Jasione montana occurs in dry sandy lanes and 

 on bank-sides. 



Composite. Solidago Virgaurea adds much to the beauty of 

 Storthes Wood in the autumn months. Though but thinly scattered 

 throughout the county, it flourishes here in the wildest profusion. I 

 have gathered Gnaphalium rectum on sandy heath-land. 



Apocynece. Vinca minor grows interspersed with Saxifraga um- 

 brosa, and in such abundance as to preclude the possibility of its 

 being an escape from garden cultivation. 



Scrophularineoe. Veronica montana is the commonest of the ge- 

 nus in the woods and thickets in the neighbourhood. 



Orchidece. Epipactis latifolia rears its purple spike of flowers on 

 the borders of woodlands. Habenaria viridis is not unfrequent in 

 grassy meadows. 



Amaryllidea. Narcissus pseudo-Narcissus has given the name of 

 " Dilly Wood" to an oak-planting near the Hall. It is said to be 

 common in the woods near Halifax. 



Juncea. Luzula sylvatica. Noble plants of this species are fre- 

 quent in the damp, spongy parts of Storthes Wood. It is common 

 throughout the south-west district. 



Filices. Grammitis Ceterach occurs on old walls. Ophioglossum 

 vulgatum in grassy pastures. 



Equisetacea. Equisetum sylvaticum is everywhere abundant in 



the woods.

Notes and occasional Observations on some of the Rarer British 

 Plants growing wild in Hampshire. By Wm. Arnold Brom- 

 field, M.D., F.L.S., &c. 



(Continued from page 290). 



In presenting to the ' Phytologist' this fourth part of my Notes and 

 Observations on the plants of Hampshire, it will already have become 

 obvious, from the perusal of the third portion, that a full enumeration 

 of the species known or reported to inhabit the county has been ta- 

 citly substituted for that selection of the rarer plants only, to which, 

 as the heading to the first and subsequent divisions plainly show, I 

 certainly intended to have confined myself at the outset. Several
