Why should not Salvinia nat£tns and Marsilea quadrifolia be found 

 in England ? the former ranging as far north as Holstein, the latter 

 into the north of France. 



Of the following genus, Lycopodiura, which closes our Catalogue 

 of Hampshire plants for the present, the Isle of Wight seems to 

 possess no representative ; I, however, fully expect that L. inundatum 

 will turn up on some of our larger heaths and moors, if not the two 

 remaining Hampshire species. 



Lycopodium clavatum. On heaths and moors ; rare .? On heaths 

 in the Holt, Mr. W. W. Reeves in litt. With the two next, passim, 

 especially by Cassar's Camp (near Farnhara), Mr. W. O. Newnham 

 in litt. Caesar's Camp is on the very boundary-line between the two 

 counties, and hence much of the plant may be on the Surrey side, 

 beyond our limits. This species has not occurred to myself in any 

 part of the county. 



Lycopodium Selago. On hilly heaths and moors. On heaths near 

 Aldershot, and especially by the canal (Basingstoke), drawing a line 

 from Csesar's Camp N.N.W., very fine, Mr. W. O. Newnham in litt.!!! 



Lycopodium inundatum. On damp spots on heaths where water 

 stands during winter, and in places from which the tnrf has been 

 pared off; not unfrequent in many parts of the county. On Titchfield 

 Common, observed abundantly in two places, June 18, 1849. On 

 Beaulieu Heath, in a damp place close to the road between Hill Top, 

 or Beaulieu Gate, and Iper's Bridge,* but much nearer to the former, 

 in great plenty, Aug. 29, 1850. Common on the heaths near 

 Christchurch aud Bournemouth, Mr. James Hussey in litt. Bog 

 near Titchborne Church (Titchborne Common), and at Oakhanger, 

 Mr. Wra. Pamplin in litt. On peat-bog on Short Heath, near 

 Selborne, Dr. T. Bell Salter!!! With the two foregoing, by Caesar's 

 Camp, near Farnham, Mr. W. O. Newnham. In wet ground below 

 or south of Shidfield Church, Miss Hawkins.

Eastmount, Ryde, Isle of Wight. 



* Pronounced Epev's Bridge, a unique instance, I should think, of deviation from 

 the usual sounding of the i in English, and adoption of the one given it in all other 

 European tongues. Perhaps some German may have given his name to the place, 

 Iper being one of the words for an elm in that language, and so hoth the foreign 

 orthography and pronunciation have been retained.
