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 669). 



Galeopsis Ladanum. In dry gravelly, sandy, or chalky corn-fields, 

 fallows, waste ground, and on chalk or limestone rubble ; also on 

 ditch-banks, dry, stony hills, grassy borders of fields, thickets, and 

 amongst pebbles on the sea-beach. Abundant in most of the chalk 

 districts of the Isle of Wight, as along the Undercliff about Yarmouth, 

 Newport, Shorwell, Bembridge, &c. Frequent, I believe, throughout 

 the county. About Selborne, &c. Var. 0. canescens, Koch ; G. ca- 

 nescens, Schultz. Near Southampton, on shingles ; Mr. Babington. 

 I think I have remarked this form on the way from Southton to Net- 

 ley Abbey, probably Mi-. B.'s station. 



Tetrahit. In cultivated ground amongst corn, &c. ; in 



waste places, moist woods, thickets, hedges and about ditches; abun- 

 dantly in the Isle of Wight and county generally. Var. ft. Flowers 

 white. At Lower Knighton, near the mill. A variable species in the 

 colour and markings of the flowers. G. ochroleuca (G. villosa, Sm.) 

 and G. versicolor may possibly be found in the county. The former 

 is in Britain a rather northern plant, but the second has been found 

 in several of the southern and eastern counties — as Sussex — and is 

 very likely to prove a native of the sandy tracts along the borders of 

 the county between Petersfield and Farnham, a district which has 

 yielded several interesting additions to the Hants flora this summer, 

 and is full of promise for future investigation. 



Stachys Betonica {Belonica officinalis, Sm.). In woods, groves, 

 thickets, and dry, open sandy or heathy pastures ; very common in 

 the Isle of Wight, and in most parts of mainland Hants visited by 

 myself. Obs. — S. germanica should be looked for in chalky thickets 

 and pastures, as it occurs in plenty in the adjoining county of Berks, 

 as well as in Oxfordshire. I remember finding it a good many years 

 since in one of the two larger of the Channel Islands, apparently 

 quite indigenous, but the locality has escaped ray memory. 



sylvatica. In damp shady situations, woods, thickets and 



hedges, on ditch-banks, by stream-sides, and in waste weedy places; 

 abundantly over the county and island. 



palustris. In wet marshy places, boggy thickets, by rivers 



and ditches, also in moist arable land, corn-fields, gardens, &c. ; very
