44 PLANTS OF DOVER, ETC. [February, 



Chelidonium majus. In all the villages around Dover, as well 

 as near the Water- works on the Castle Hill. 



BESEDACEiE. 



Reseda Luteola, R. lutea. Frequent. 



CELASTRACEiE. 



Euonymus europoeus. Hedges and copses. 



POLYGALACE^. 



Polygala vulgaris. Plentiful on the banks along the St. Mar- 

 garet's road. I also found, in a field near St. Radigund's, a variety 

 which closely resembles P. depressa, Wender, if not identical 

 with it. 



Of the Mallows and Geraniums, I met with only the common 

 kinds, excepting a variety of Erodium cicutarium, with white 

 flowers, with a dark spot at the base of the petals, which we found 

 on the cliff just at the entrance of Sandgate. 



LINACEiE. 



lAnum angustifolium. Abundant on the bank to the right of 

 the road from Walmer Castle to St. Margaret's. 



CARYOPH YLLACE^ . 



Silene nutans, var. /S, Smith. Grows in profusion on the East 

 and Shakspeare's Cliffs, the air being scented by the fragrance 

 of its starry white flowers towards evening when they expand. — 

 It differs from our Belgian S. nutans by its larger size and greater 

 hairiness. 



Silene inflata. A common weed in cornfields. 



Lychnis diurna. Copses and hedge-banks. We found the 

 variety with pale flesh-coloured flowers in a copse at the Walder- 



Lychnis vespertina. Tolerably abundant in cornfields and on 

 banks. 



Lepigonum marinum. On the cliffs. 

 Arenaria trinervia. Shady banks. 

 Cerastium arvense. Heights near the Castle.
