Supplement No. II. to the Flora Hertfordiensis. By the Eev. 

 R. H. Webb, Rector of Essendon, Hertfordshire. London : 

 W. Pamplin. 



This supplementary list " exhibits," as the reverend author in- 

 forms us, "several plants new to the ' Flora ' since the publication 

 of the Supplement in 1851, as well as many localities for plants 

 not observed before in the particular district." Professor Bentley 

 and Mr. Edwards are specially mentioned as contributors to the 

 botany of the Hitchin and Wheathamstead districts. Other 

 correspondents are encouraged to imitate their good example. 



Among the novelties the following are mentioned, viz. Hes- 

 peris matronalis, near Barnet Station, L. Powis. Sagina ciliata, 

 Hatfield Park, Miss L. Soames. Hypericum calycinum, Marford 

 Bridge, E. Edwards. Oxalis striata, Essendon. Vicia Bobartii, 

 Welham Green, Mrs. Church. Carum Carui, Bourne End. 

 Galium anglicum, Brocket Park wall, B. H. Webb. Achillea 

 serrata, Ayott Green, E. Edwards. Villarsia nymphceoides, Tot- 

 teridge Green (probably introduced), L.Powis. Myosotis sylvatica, 

 lane leading to OflQey-holes near Wellhead, B. Bentley, M.D., 

 Cynoglossum sylvaticum, Cashiobury Park, L. ? (S.) Powis. Lilium 

 Martagon, Totteridge Park, Mr. Mackay, 1855. Ascertained to 

 have been there not less than a hundred years. 



Some of the most interesting additions to the localitities are 

 those for Corydalis solida, a station pointed out to us about four 

 years ago, by our obliging correspondent Mr. Mackay ; Galan- 

 thus nivalis, near Mr. Mackay's, Totteridge Green ; and Narcissus 

 biflorus, Davis^s Farm, Totteridge, by the same. 



It is only but justice to state that the botanists of Hertford- 

 shire have taken much pains in collecting and publishing the 

 natural vegetable productions of their county. Their zeal and 

 assiduity is proposed as an example to local explorers, and their 

 success is an encouragement to the botanists of England. 



Mr. Webb wishes it to be known that he will still enter on his 

 list of memoranda the names and localities of all plants hitherto 

 unknown in the county, and also all new stations for rare or in- 

 teresting plants, and that such lists will be published from time 

 to time as supplementary additions to the ' Flora Hertfordiensis.'
