preceding page (all of which are to a double scale), 1, 2 and 3 are 

 from littoralis; 4, 5 and 6 from angustifolia ; 7 and 8 from erecta ; 9 

 and 10 belong to patula; and 11 is from a dwarf and imperfect speci- 

 men in Mr. Boner's collection, gathered at Sidlesham, near Chiches- 

 ter (perhaps also patula) ; 12 and 13 are from the rosea of Babington, 

 the first from Newhaven, the second brought by Mr. Lingwood from 

 Havre ; 14 belongs to what I consider as the rosea of Koch, but I 

 must confess that the leafiness of the spike is not in it a strongly 

 marked character ; 15 and 16, from Toulouse, are taken from the 

 plant I have mentioned as intermediate ; 17 and 18 from the pros- 

 trate form of the laciniata of continental botanists, with all the leaves 

 nearly similar, — they were collected at Aries; 19, 20 and 21, from 

 Kent, belong to our laciniata. If this name should be ultimately at- 

 tached to the continental plant, perhaps the English one might be 

 called arenaria, from its usual habitat. It seems to occur in the west 

 of France and in Portugal. The three last belong to what I have 

 proposed to call campauulata : the two first from Toulouse, the last 

 from Aries. Joseph Woods.

Solatium Dulcamara. In woods, thickets and hedges, especially 

 such as are rather moist, by river-sides, and in watery, bushy places, 

 also on the sandy or pebbly sea-beach ; extremely common through- 

 out the island and county. Var. (3. Stem and leaves downy. S. 

 Dulcamara, @. tomentosum, Koch, Syn. Fl. Germ. S. littorale, Raab. 

 Nearly as common a form in this island as a., but variable in the de- 

 gree of pubescence. On the Dover, and elsewhere about Ryde, &c. 

 Var. y. Stems much branched, diffuse or prostrate, not scandent, and, 

 as well as the somewhat fleshy leaves and very angular branches, 

 downy and almost hispid, with spreading or partly curved hairs. S. 

 lignosum seu Dulcamara marina, Ray, Syn. ed. Dillen. p. 205 ? S. 

 Dulcamara, y. marinum, Bab. Man. p. 224. On the sea-beach. In 

 loose sand of the shore at the Priory, betwixt Ryde and St. Helen's. 

 Southsea beach, Portsmouth. In my specimens the leaves are all 

 auricled, and the plant scarcely differs from var. /3., except in not 

 being climbing. Var. e. Flowers white. Rare. In a street at Ryde ;
