of Pulteney, which is thus corroborated for a plant of decided rarity 

 in the south of England. 



Parnassia palustris, add, In various parts of the (New) Forest ; 

 Mr. J. S. Mill in Phytol. i. p. 92. 



Dianthus prolifer, add, In considerable plenty on the south 

 beach, Hayling Island, along the way to the Passage House, October 

 3rd, 1848, and still in flower. Cumberland Fort, Portsea Island ; 

 Dr. Macreight, Man. Brit. Bot. 



Armeria, add, Wicor Hard ; Mr. W. L. Notcutt. 



Silene maritima, add, Abundant on Hayling Island. A variety 

 with the margin of the leaves cartilaginously spinulose occurs occa- 

 sionally in the Isle of Wight. 



Lychnis Flos-cuculi. Very frequent in wet places. 



Giihago. Very common, and often far too abundant 



amongst corn and other crops. 



Spergula nodosa, add, Sandy ground in the New Forest ; Mr. T. 

 B. Flower ! 



Sagina procumbens. Common everywhere, on and under walls in 

 dry pastures, &c. 



maritima. Rare ? Sandy shore, Gurnet Bay, and at St. 



Helen's, Isle of Wight. At West Cowes, near the Yacht Club 

 House ; Dr. Martin !! Probably not uncommon on the Hampshire 

 coast. 



apetala. Corn-fields and dry pastures frequent, at least in 



the island. Abundant near Ryde. 



Alsine rubra. Common on dry sandy ground. Profusely on 

 rocky ledges behind Bonchurch, with Crithmum maritimum, and on 

 the chalk cliffs at Freshwater Gate, Isle of Wight. The plants in 

 these maritime situations preserve their character as regards the shape 

 and roughness of the seeds, length of the capsules, and aristate leaves, 

 but the latter are semi-cylindrical beneath, or nearly so, the plant 

 very much branched, forming dense tufts, the roots thick (perennial?) 

 and as well as the base of the stems, subligneous. This form ac- 

 cords with the description of Arenaria macrorhiza, Req. in Bartoloni's 

 Flora Ital. iv. p. 687. A. rubra, y. macrorhiza, Moris, Fl. Sard. i. p. 

 278. A. media, ft. macrorhiza, D. C, in Duby Syn. ii. p. 1025, and 

 which Moris judiciously considers a mere variety, assigning very suf- 

 ficient reasons for his opinion. 



marina. Salt-mashes and waste ground by the sea, com- 

 mon. A good species ? 



Slellaria uliginosa. Frequent in wet and boggy ground.
