Pulygala calcarea, Schultz. Very fine near Pangboume, Berks ; 

 not unfrequent on the Hogsback, at and near Compton chalk-quar- 

 ries. Flowers blue, whiter or pink. 



Geranium rotundijblium, L. Abundant in one locality at Bat- 

 tersea. 



Trigonella ornithopodioides, D.C. Plumstead Common, scarce. 



Poterium muricatum, Spach. Near Goring, Oxfordshire. 



Sedum sexangulare, L. Garden-wall at Sydenham, of course not 

 indigenous. 



Petroselinmn segetum, Koch. Lane at Charlton Church ; near 

 Eltham ; between Greenwich and Woolwich ; and near Oi-pington. 



Coriandrum sativum, L. Thames-side below Greenwich. Mr. 

 Irvine found it at Battersea and Wandsworth. 



Tragopogon pratensis, Li. With florets exceeding the phyllaries, 

 at Sydenham. At Greenwich it occurs with florets equal to, and 

 half the length of, the phyllaries, and in all intermediate states. T. 

 minor, Fr., can scarcely be separated, even as a variety. 



Lactuca virosa, L. Between Greenhithe and Darenth Wood. 



Sonchus palusiris, L. I searched in vain for this fine species in 

 the Isle of Dogs, and between Greenwich and Woolwich. Mr. Irvine 

 and I failed to find it at Hailing, where the former saw it many years 

 ago. Mr. Irvine could not see it in the railway cutting on Wands- 

 worth Common, where it is recorded by Mr. M'Ennes (Phytol. iv. 

 398). Mr. Kippist informs me he found it, in 1829, about Deptford, 

 and it may still grow there. If not, I fear it must be expunged from 

 the metropolitan Flora. 



Crepis biennis, L. Northfleet and Greenhithe chalk-pits ; near 

 Cobham, Rainham, Rochester, and Gravesend. 



Hieracium vulgatum, Fr. The form called H. maculatum by 

 Smith occurs on a wall at Sydenham. 



Borkhausia foetida, D.C. I looked very carefully for this plant 

 in the stations recorded for it, but in vain. I fear it is now extinct. 

 The following species has probably been mistaken for it in some of 

 the localities given for it. 



Borkhausia taraxaci/olia, D.C. Very abundant in all the chalky 

 districts of Kent. 



Carduus acaulis, L. Specimens from the road-side between Da- 

 renth and Dartford had branched stems above a foot high. 



Pulicaria vulgaris, Gaertn. Has disappeared from Golder's GrecD, 

 where it was carefully sought for, by Mr. Irvine and myself.
