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 564). 



Cynoglossum officinale. In dry waste and pasture ground, by 

 road-sides, and amongst ruins, rubbish, &c., in many parts of the Isle 

 of Wight, but not very common. On Ryde Dover occasionally, pro- 

 bably now extirpated by building. On the shore beyond Sea View. 

 Very common in some parts of the Undercliff, as at Ventnor, Bon- 

 church, St. Lawrence. Near Dogkennel and elsewhere, occasionally. 

 Apparently frequent over the county. Near Southampton. Abun- 

 dant at Lyss, near Petersfield. Plentiful on Langwood Warren, near 

 Winton. In Hackvvood and Hurstbourne Priors Parks. Plentiful at 

 Oakhanger, near Selborne. 



Var. (3. Leaves subglabrous, more or less shining, nearly scentless. 

 C. officinale, var. C. subglabrum, Merat. Nouv. Fl. des Env. de Par. 

 p. 73. C. officinale, B. Bert. Fl. Ital. ii. p. 298 ? (in part at least, ex- 

 cluding references to C. sylvaticum of Smith and others). On hedge- 

 banks and more shady places than the last. At Bank End, by St. 

 Lawrence ; and at Eastend, Bonchuch. A slight variety merely of 

 the common hounds'tongue, and in some specimens hardly to be dis- 

 tinguished from the usual form by the characters just mentioned. 

 The fcetor of the plant resides probably in the down of the leaves 

 and stem ; it is not surprising therefore that the smoother variety 

 should be nearly scentless. The true C. sylvaticum of Smith, C. 

 montanum, Lam., is a very different thing from the above variety, 

 and has been indicated to me as found at Wheely Down, near West 

 Meon, by the Rev. E. M. Sladen, but farther inquiry seems advisable 

 before admitting it into the flora of this county, though a plant likely 

 enough to grow within our limits. The rare Asperugo procumbens 

 may possibly be found hereafter to inhabit this county, as it is alleged 

 to grow in the adjoining ones of Sussex and Dorset, on the authority 

 of the ' Botanist's Guide.' 



IBorago officinalis. In dry waste places, amongst rubbish, by 

 road-sides, on hedgebanks, and in dry pastures ; naturalized. Not 

 unfrequent in the Isle of Wight, in hedges adjacent to cottage gar- 

 dens. At Sandown, Arreton, Yarmouth, &c. On rough pasture 

 ground below Little Buddie farm, by Niton, 1843. In 1837 I ol>
