 the yellow star-grass (Hypoxis erectd), the maiden-pink 

 (DiantJtus deltoides), bird's-eye primrose (Primula far inosa)

 (Ran a nc id us ficaria), the harebell (Campanula rotundi- 

 folia), spring beauty (Claytonia virginica), purple phlox 

 (Phlox divarkata), babes-in- the- wood ( Pohjgala pauciflora), 

 white windflower (Anemone nemorosa), golden windflower 

 (Anemone ranunculoides), lily-of-the-valley (Con vallaria 

 majalis) and the cowslip (Primula veris) ; in gravelly soil, 

 open and sunny positions, sandy shores, etc.: the sea-pink 

 (Armeria vulgaris and cephalotes), sand-pink (Dianthus 

 arenarius), bird's-foot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus), mouse,

 armarium), sandwort (Armaria), wild thyme (Thymus 

 serpyllum — Thymus chamcedrys) and creeping leadwort 

 (Plumbago larpt ntce).
