ter Gate, also in a pool on the dislocated land betwixt St. Catherine's 

 Point and Black-gang, in plenty, [and in the Cyperus meadow at Old 

 Castle Point. A plant or two has been found at Ventnor, and be- 

 twixt St. Lawrence and Old Park. I have no mainland stations to 

 assign for this species as yet, but judge it not likely to be uncommon 

 in the county. 



Bupleurum tenuissimum. No unfrequent plant in salt-marsh 

 ground along the coast. In several parts of the Isle of Wight, but 

 not common. Near Ryde, Brading, Cowes, Yarmouth and Newtown. 

 Wieor Hard, near Fareham ; Mr. W. L. Notcutt. Abundant and 

 very fine on sea-banks in Hayling Island. 



rotundifolium. In corn-fields and their borders on 



the chalk ; possibly not rare in the county generally. Extremely 

 local in the Isle of Wight, but plentiful in the chalky corn-fields 

 south-east of Yarmouth, near Thorley, Wellow and Calbourn, over a 

 district of some extent. I had never seen it in any intermediate sta- 

 tion till I found it July 7th, 1848, at the opposite extremity of the 

 island, in a wheat-field, at a height of several (about five) hundred feet 

 above the easternmost end of Sandown Bay, in some plenty. Mud 

 Farm, near Avington ; Dr. D. A. White. Corn-fields at Tichbourne 

 and Owslebury ; Mr. Wm. Pamplin in New Bot. Guide. The Eu- 

 phorbia-like habit and unilateral mode of branching are very charac- 

 teristic of this handsome umbellate. 



CEnanthe Jistulosa. In wet meadows, ditches and pools. De- 

 cidedly rare in the Isle of Wight, though tolerably plentiful in a few 

 localities. At Easton Marsh Freshwater Gate, but rather sparingly. 

 In several parts of Sandown Level, in the ditch at the fort, &c, more 

 abundantly. Drains on the north side of Lake Common. Probably 

 not rare on the mainland. I have received it from Mr. Whale, of 

 Andover, but without locality, and believe I have seen and gathered 

 it at Bishop's Waltham, and in the low grounds about Winchester, 

 but find no memorandum respecting it amongst my notes. In a wa- 

 tery meadow near to Hook, by Hursley, not plentiful ; Mr. William 

 Whale ! 



pimpinelloides. In meadows, pastures, on heaths and 



by road-sides, one of the commonest of our Umbelliferse over the en- 

 tire Isle of Wight, but not equally abundant every year, being in 

 some seasons even scarce, in others profuse, though in most, plenti- 

 ful. With us it is not restricted to any particular soil, though evinc- 

 ing, perhaps, a preference rather for clay than chalk ; nor is it more 

 partial to dry than to damp situations, as I have seen low-lying hay-
