894 HAMPSHIRE PLANTS. [January, 



It seems by no means uncommon in many parts of Eng- 

 land. 



Myrica Gale. Gomer Pond, abundant. 



Spiranihes autumnalis. Dry bauk near Portsmouth. 



Iris foetidissima. Portsea Island. 



Juncus squarrosus. South-west corner of Ilayling Island. 



Alisma ranujiculoides. Shore of Stokes Bay. 



Sparganium simplex. Gomer Pond. 



Ruppia sp. ? Gomer Pond. 



Zannichellia palustris. Gomer Pond. 



Eleocharis uniglumis. Stokes Bay. (Surely only a seaside form of 

 E. palustris.) 



Scirpus Taberncemontani. Portsea Island^ ditches, etc. 



Scirpiis seiaceus. Southampton. 



Polypogon littoralis. Neither so plentiful nor so large now in the 

 Portchester station as was mentioned by Dr. Brorafield ; but 

 still in considerable quantity, and larger than in Portsea Is- 

 land. This species seems to flower much earlier than P. 

 monspeliensis, its usual (? invariable) companion ; in Augnst 

 the latter was in excellent condition, whereas littoralis was 

 quite passe. In the descriptions of these plants in books, I 

 think that the awns are in both plants described as too 

 short. 



Molinia coerulea. South-west corner of Hayling Island. (Four 

 feet high.) 



Triticum acutum (DC), T. laxum (Fr.). Hayling and Portsea 

 Islands. [The Triticum of this coast.) (The " minute sharp 

 points " on the upper surface of the leaf, are in my plants so 

 minute as to require a very high microscopic power to dis- 

 cern them at all.) 



Lepturus incurvaius. Southsea. 



Aspenium Ruta-muraria. Wall of Haslar Hospital, Gosport. 



Scolopendrium vulgare. Hayling Island, common. 



.1 was enabled to verify many of Dr. Bromfield's localities 

 for this part of Hampshire, but these are not included in the 

 above list for the following reason : to republish already recorded 

 localities is only waste of paper and printers^ ink, besides bur- 

 dening botanical literature with useless matter. Having given 

 this opinion I must hope for my own credit that none of the
