Channel-Island Plants, Additions to. 

 By the Rev. T. Salwey. 



Sir,— Your correspondent Mr. Henslow does not appear to have met 

 with the Allium triquetrum in Guernsey, which is a plant perhaps of more 

 decided southern habit than those which he has named. It was probably 

 overlooked by him, as well as by Mr. Babington previously, by not being 

 in blossom when they were there. I discovered it in many parts of the 

 island of Guernsey in 1847, and sent it to my friend Mr. Borrer ; and it 

 was subsequently sent to Mr. Salter, to be figured for the ' English Botany ' 

 supplement, and would have appeared, but that the work at that time 

 ceased to be published. I had previously met with this plant in Madeira. 



Besides the above plant, I also found in the island, in 1847, not included 

 in Mr. Babington's work, — Carex pendula : bay under the Artillery Bar- 

 racks. Ei'igeron acris : fields to the east of Portinfer. (Enotliera biennis : 

 the Vale. Hypericum Unarifolium : on all the sIojdcs of the south coast. 

 Triticum glaucum : Vagon Bay. T. repens, /S, dumetorum : ditto. Luzula 

 Forsteri : lane leading from the King's Koad to Haviland Hall. Barharea 

 prfscox : I have no record of the habitat of this. Some of the above I 

 observe Mr. Henslow has also met with.

HUDDERSFIELD PLANTS. By S. H. Stocks. 



It is hoped that the readers will con-ect the following mistakes in 

 an account of exotic plants found near Huddersfield, p. 643, vol. ii. 

 N.s. First, the paper is by S. H. Stocks, not C. Hobkirk. Also, the 

 writer has the following additional dupKcates : — Bigitaria sangninalis, 

 Setaria verticillata, Chloris compressa, Lappago racemosa, Senecio erucifolius, 

 Urodium moschatum, and Erodium malacoides. In the Order Graminece, for 

 Chloris compressa read Polypogoti monspeliensis ; and in the Order Lythracece, 

 for Polypodium read Polypogon. The additions to those mentioned above 

 are Phalaris paradoxa, Polypogon monspeliensis, Sagittaria sagittcefolia. 

 Narcissus Pseudo-Narcissus, Solanum nigrum., Vinca minor, Medicago denti- 

 culata, and Saponaria officinalis. I have also a few spare specimens of 

 Polypodium calcareum. Ranunculus sceleratus, Ribes Grossularia, Petasites 

 albus, Taxus baccata, Potentilla Comarum, Narthecium ossifragum, Corydalis 

 lutea, and Linaria repens. 



Localities for Claytonia alsinoides. 



(From Baxter's 'British Plants,' vol. iv. p. 253.) 

 In moist, shady woods, very rare, Derbyshire. " In an elevated part 

 of a large plantation bordering Chatsworth Park ; unquestionably wild. 

 Of this I feel quite satisfied, as its situation is such as not to oiier any 

 probability of either seeds or plants being conveyed there by any other 

 means than by natui-e." — Sir Joseph Paxtou, Sept. 8, 1837. 



Malva moschata, B., from Perth, var. alba. — The caulinary leaves of 

 this variety are not divided to the base into linear segments, but are 

 lobed or divided halfway or two-thirds. They are rounded, the lobes are 

 rounded, and they are dentate, with rounded teeth. The whole plant is 

 hairier than the typical plant is. The central cone of the fruit is larger, 

 and the flowers are white.
