BOTANY OF SELBORNE. 259 



croft-hanger ; this continues a great branching plant 

 the winter through, blossoming about January, and 

 is very ornamental in shady walks and shrubberies. 

 The good women give the leaves powdered to chil- 

 dren troubled with worms ; but it is a violent remedy, 

 and ought to be administered with caution. 



Helleborus viridis, green hellebore in the deep 

 stony lane, on the left hand, just before the turning 

 to Norton farm, and at the top of Middle Dorton 

 under the edge ; this plant dies down to the ground 

 early in autumn, and springs again about February, 

 flowering almost as soon as it appears above ground. 



Vaccinium oxycoccus, creeping bilberries, or cran- 

 berries in the bogs of Bin's-pond ; 



Vaccinium myrtillus, whortle, or bilberries on the 

 dry hillocks of Wolmer Forest ; 



Drosera rotundifolia, round-leaved sundew in the 

 bogs of Bin's-pond ; 



Drosera longifolia *, long-leaved sundew in the 

 bogs of Bin's-pond ; 



Comarumpalustre, purple com arum, or marsh cinque - 

 foil in the bogs of Bin's-pond ; 



Hypericum andros&mum, Tutsan, St. John's wort 

 in the stony, hollow lanes ; 



Vinca minor, less periwinkle in Selborne-hanger 

 and Shrub-wood ; 



Monatropa hypopithys, yellow monotropa, or bird'?- 

 nest in Selborne-hanger under the shady beeches, 

 to whose roots it seems to be parasitical at the 

 north-west end of the Hanger ; 



Chlora perfoliata, Blackstonia perfoliata, Hudsoni, 

 perfoliated yellow- wort on the banks in the King's 

 Field; 



Paris quadrifolia, herb Paris, true love, or one-
