42 PLANTS OF DOVER, WALMERj [February, 



cies that grow everywhere, and it was too early in the season for 

 me to prick my fingers with the Brambles. 



CRASSULACEyE. 



Sedum acre. Exceedingly abundant on the beach at Walmer, 

 and very rich in colour. 



LEGUMINIFERiE. 



.Saroi?iamnus scoparius. Ascent to Abbott's Cliff. 



Genista iinctoria. Shakspeare's Cliff. 



Ulex europceus. Chalk downs. 



Ononis arvensis. Borders of fields, etc. 



Anthyllis Vulneraria. Abundant everywhere on chalk. 



Lotus corniculatus, var. 7. villosus. Heights near the Bar-

 by roadsides, and in waste ground at Dover and Deal. 



Medicago denticulata. Folkestone cliffs. 



Trifolium scabrum. Walmer, very starved specimens, the plot 

 of ground where they grew having been eaten down by cattle. 



Vicia bithynica. Folkestone cliffs. May and June. 



Laihyrus macrorrhizus. Combe Wood. 



Lathyrus maritimus. Beach at Walmer, almost within reach

 when we fell in with it. Those who have had similar experiences, 

 will readily understand the feeling of pleasure with which I con- 

 templated this new acquisition to my collection. 



Lathyrus Nissolia. Abundant on the Cliff at Folkestone, 

 growing with V. bithynica, and L. Aphaca, the three forming 

 such a lovely nosegay as to call forth an exclamation of surprise 

 and delight. The Grass-Pea also grew plentifully at Sandgate, 

 and was peculiarly brilliant in colour. 



Hippocrepis comosa. Frequent about Dover. 

 Onobrychis sativa. Shakspeare's Cliff and elsewhere, much 

 cultivated. 



CRUCIFER.E. 



Cheiranthus Cheiri. Covering the East Cliff, which was quite
