110 FAVERSIIAM PLANTS. [April, 



is hoped that it may become permanent in this station. It has 

 been occasionally seen at Wandsworth, near the steamboat-pier, 

 on the Surrey side of the river ; and also on the bank of the 

 Kensington canal, on the Middlesex side of the Thames ; and it 

 has been observed also at Turnham Green, Middlesex. It is not 

 uncommon about Greenhithe and Gravesend, and it is exceed- 

 ingly plentiful on the river Coin, below Colchester. 



The following additions are also to be made to the plants of 

 Faversham, viz, Dvplotaxis muralis, which appeared here plentiful , 

 enough, and it accompanied us during our whole route through 

 Canterbury, Deal, and Dover, to Hythe, where our journey ter- 

 minated. This species, unlike its relative, D. tenuifolia, shows 

 no predilection for walls ; it is everywhere, in Surrey and Kent, 

 where it abounds, contented with a humbler station. It would 

 be too tedious to enter all the stations for a species which is in 

 this part of the country nearly as common as Shepherd's-purse, 



On a wall on the left, near Davington church, while ascending 

 the hill from the creek, Sedum dasyphyllum was detected in con- 

 siderable abundance. This rare plant may have been introduced 

 subsequently to the publication of Dr. Jacobs's Flora, but it had 

 apparently been settled there long prior to the compilation of 

 either of the modern lists of the Faversham species. 



Verbascum Lychnitis, as a mural plant, is also a new discovery. 

 This grew on a wall a short distance beyond Davington church, 

 on the same road, and on the same side of it. This plant was 

 solitary when first observed two years ago. There are now, Sep- 

 tember 3rd, 1860, three plants, viz, the original or mother-plant, 

 now of considerable bulk, having both flowers and fruit, also 

 one of its descendants in flower, and the third and last has now 

 well-developed radical leaves. 



This locality produces abundant and fine specimens of Salvia 

 verbenaca, and also of the rare Calamintha Nepeta, which abounds 

 both on the turf in the churchyard, and on the churchyard wall. 



This plant is probably sometimes mistaken for C officinalis, 

 and C. officinalis may also occasionally be mistaken for it ; and 

 the mistakes may be counter-checks, and the relative numerical 

 proportions between the statistics of the two plants may not be 

 much affected. The numbers of stations kuown, or at least pub- 

 lished, for C. officinalis is at least twice as many as for C, Nepeta. 

 But if the census of the individual examples is to be taken, C. Ne-
