WOOD, MEADOW, AND ROAD-SIDE PLANTS. 



Hypericum dubium Cardigan, I observed a number of tall 



Euonymus europseus plants of this species, but it was very 



Lathyrus syl vestris near a part recently enclosed, and tbere- 



Rosa villosa fore a half doubt arose whether they 



micrantha might not have been planted. But 



Rubus suberectus, abundant in the woods there was no garden or habitation near, 



about the Devil's Bridge; and puzzling and no soul about the desolate spot of 



forms of this or R. afRnis, occur in whom to make the enquiry, 



bushes in fields near the sea at Sarn Sanguisorba officinalis, very fine on the as- 



Cynvelyen, 2 miles N. of Abeiystwith. cent of the mountain to Llyn Teivy, 



Spiraea salicifolia. On a wild common near Strata Florida Abbey, 



about midway between Aberystwith and Antirrhinum Orontium 



South Cottage, Malvern Wells, EdWIN LeeS.

Art. XIV. — Notes on Plants growing in the neighbourhood of 

 Guildford, Surrey. By J. S. Mill, Esq. 



Impatiens fulva. At whatever period introduced, this plant is now 

 SO thoroughly naturalized, that it would be pedantry any longer to re- 

 fuse it that place in the English Flora, which has been accorded on 

 less strong grounds to many plants originally introduced from abroad. 

 For many miles by the side of the Wey, both above and below Guild- 

 ford, it is as abundant as the commonest river-side plants, the Lythrum 

 Salicaria or Epilobium hirsutum ; and my friend Mr. Henry Cole in- 

 forms me that it is found in various places by the same river all the 

 w^ay to its junction with the Thames. It is equally abundant on the 

 banks of the Tillingboume, that beautiful tributary of the Wey; espe- 

 cially at Chilworth, where it grows in boundless profusion: and near 

 Albury, where I saw it for the first time in 1822. The plant stated by 

 Sir J. E. Smith to be growing near Guildford, under the name of Im- 

 patiens Noli-me-tangere, is doubtless no other than this plant. The 

 Noli-me-tangere, which I have seen growing about Windermere, in 

 the Pyrenees, and in Switzerland, is very distinct from this. « 



Geranium lucidum ; in most of the lanes about Guildford. 



Fumaria capreolata ; near Losely, and by the roadside between 

 Guildford and MeiTOw. 



Fumaria parviflora ; in corn-fields on the summit and southern de- 

 clivity of the Hog's Back ; and in lanes at its foot. 



Valerianella dentata (or Fedia dentata) ; corn-fields on the chalk 

 hills on both sides of Guildford, abundantly.
