Keston Heath Plants. 



On the 16th of this present July I visited the bog on Keston Heath, 

 from which a copious list of plants, collected last September, appeared 

 (from another hand) in the ' Phytologist.' Owing to the earlier time of 

 year, I found several plants which were not included in the list. These 

 were Carduus pratensis, Eleocharis multicaidis, Carex stelliiiata, C.panicea, 

 and another which, looking to the straightness of the beak, would seem 

 to be C. CEderi, but which, by the great distance between the lowest fertde 

 spike and the others, answers better to the description usually given of 

 C.flava. Prolonging my walk across Hayes Common, I found, at the 

 angle next the camp, a considerable quantity of Corydalis claviculata. 

 Descending the hUl through the fine grove of old Oaks, and taking the 

 track nearest to the foot of the Hayes Common ridge, in the direction of 

 Keston church, I found several interesting plants. A large cultivated field 

 was dotted over in almost its whole extent with great tufts of Bromus (or 

 Serrafalcus) arvensis, a plant recognized as British in Sir J. E. Smith's 

 ' English Flora,' but relegated by Mr. Babington to tlie class of plants 

 " not even naturalized." If not yet naturalized where I saw it, this grass, I 

 think, can scarcely fad of becoming so. Further on, at the commencement 

 of the chalk, I crossed several cornfields in which Papaver somniferum is as 

 abundant as P. Rhoeas. In two of these grows, in tolerable abundance, 

 Camelina foetida (as our form of C. sativa is now called) in great size and 

 perfection. The same fields produced 8peailaria hybrida, and Valerianella 

 Auricula. Is not V. Auricula, with the exception of V. olitoria, our only 

 common species ? Can any of your correspondents point out where the 

 real F. dentata is to be found ? I sought for the meadow in which, a few 

 summers ago, I had seen three fine plants of Isatis tinctoria, but I was 

 unable to find it. In the place where I believed it to be, a fine crop of 

 wheat is now waving^.
