A Catalogue of the Plants growing wild in Hampshire, with occa- 

 sional Notes and Observations on some of the more remarkable 

 Species. By William Arnold Bromfield, M.D., F.L.S., &c. 



(Continued from page 383).- 



Eryngium maritimum. Sea-coast in several places. On Ryde 

 Dover very sparingly, if not now quite extinct, through building. 

 Abundant on the sandy spit at Norton by Yarmouth, and at St. He- 

 len's. West side of the mouth of the Newtown River, plentifully. 

 Shore near E. Cowes ; Mr. W. D. Snooke. Common along the south 

 beach of Hayling Island. A variety with the stem leaves and flowers 

 rose-coloured grows at St. Helen's, Isle of Wight. 



Hydrocotyle vulgaris. Very common in low, boggy meadows and 

 damp pastures in the island and county. 



Apium graveolens. Ditches and marshy places, chiefly on or near 

 the coast, and where the water is brackish. Plentiful in many parts 

 of the Isle of Wight, as on Ryde Dover, at Binsted, Yarmouth, Fresh- 

 water, &c. Common in ditches of fresh water about Brixton or 

 Brightstone, Isle of Wight. Frequent on the mainland of Hants, 

 along the coast. Abundant at Emsworth and betwixt that and He- 

 vant in various places. Hayling Island, Lymington, &c. 



X Petroselinum sativum. Naturalized on old walls, banks and 

 waste ground here and there in the island and on the main. I ob- 

 served it abundantly on the shingly beach at Hurst Castle, in 1838, 

 where it was being gathered for domestic purposes. Walls of Caris- 

 brook Castle; Mr. W. W. Saunders!!! On the stone facing of the 

 bank below the church at Newchurch, Isle of Wight ; Dr. T. Bell 

 Salter !!! In Luccomb Chine ; Miss G. E. Kilderbee !!! I find it in 

 other places in this island, perfectly and permanently established, but 

 always near houses or buildings of some kind. 



segetnm. Very frequent, but rather uncertain in its 



times and places of appearing, on hedge-banks, in waste ground and 

 cultivated fields over the greater part of the Isle of Wight, more es- 

 pecially on stiff clay soils. Common about Ryde, and abundant this 

 year (1848) on earthen fence-banks along the new line of road from 

 the Dover to St. John's, and on the hedge-bank facing the Infirmary. 

 About Southampton, in Hayling Island, and probably not rare in 

 mainland Hants. Maple Durham ; Goodyer in Gerarde. In its sin- 

 gularly lax, wiry, nearly leafless habit, and imperfect, or rather irre-
