cies to abound on the wildest part of that wild waste called Langwood 

 Warren, near Winchester, where spade or plough never contended 

 against its all but hopeless sterility. 



Fumaria capreolata, add, At Oakhanger, near Selborne. 



Vaillantii. A specimen of this, or of T. parviflora, or 



micrantha, was found by Dr. Salter in a field near Weeks's by Ryde, 

 a few years back, but the example which he kindly communicated to 

 me has been accidentally lost, nor have I been able to rediscover the 

 plant there or elsewhere in the island. 



Nasturtium officinale. Abundant in the county and island. 



Cardamine pratensis, hirsuta, and sylvatica. The last a variety 

 probably of the second ; are all abundant here and on the mainland 

 of Hants. 



Sisymbrium officinale. Abundant. 



TJialianum. Copiously in fields in the Isle of Wight, 



and perhaps in the county generally, but very rare about Fareham, 

 according to Mr. Notcutt. 



Alliaria officinalis. Abundant in hedges and on grassy banks all 

 over the Isle of Wight, and I believe the county also. 



Brassica Napus. Common in cultivated fields and fallows over 

 the island and county. I am unable to say whether or not we possess 

 B. campestris, as the plant so called has always eluded my search, if 

 indeed there exists any such thing apart from B. Napus, but its va- 

 riety (3., as it is now considered, B. Rapa, L. (turnip), is occasionally 

 naturalized, or rather has strayed from the fields on to the adjoining 

 banks in some places. 



nigra. Abundant in many parts of the Isle of Wight, 



but not universally distributed. Common about Ryde, &c. I am not 

 prepared to state the distribution of this and the following in the 

 county at large. 



Sinapis alba. Cultivated and waste places, but not general in the 

 Isle of Wight. Very plentiful at Yentnor. On sea-banks in Sandown 

 Bay, &c. 



arvensis. Far too profusely in cultivated fields everywhere. 



XKoniga maritima. Naturalized here and there on and under 

 walls, and in waste ground by the sea-shore, but in all instances ob- 

 viously escaped from gardens and scarcely persistent. 



Draba verna. Walls, banks, and pastures. Abundant in the 

 island and county. On Ryde Dover, &c. Hardly known about 

 Fareham, Mr. W. L. Notcutt. 



Cochlearia officinalis. Possibly not uncommon in the county, but
