136 APPENDIX. 



Monorchis may be found in this locality in the greatest profusion ; 

 Ophrys apifera and O. muscifera more sparingly. 



The following interesting plants are found in this part of the 

 district. On the face of the quarries, Arabis hirsuta; on the 

 sloping debris, Reseda lutea, Viola hirta, Rhamnus catharticus, 

 Anthyllis Vulneraria, Hippocrepis comosa, Onobrychis sativa, Po- 

 teriuni Sanguisorba, Asperula cynanchica, Phyteuma orbiculare, 

 Thesium linophyllum and Juniperus communis, in abundance. 

 Gentiana Amarella equally so upon the level surface, as is the 

 case with Carduus acaulis and Carlina vulgaris; in the same 

 situation Chlora perfoliata is occasionally met with. On the 

 ridge, Taxus baccata is abundant, many of the trees denoting a 

 good old age. Cineraria campestris has been found on a down 

 towards the New Inn. Lathraea squamaria, Inwood copse, on the 

 north side of the Hog's Back.* Monotropa Hypopitys in some sea- 

 sons is plentiful under the beech trees in a plantation overhang- 

 ing the Compton quarry ; in other seasons scarcely a plant is to 

 be seen. Upon the lands forming the sloping portions of the 

 Hog's Back, the following plants are generally distributed : Pas- 

 tinaca sativa, Torilis nodosa, Tragopogon pratensis, Picris hiera- 

 cioides, Specularia hybrida, Linaria spuria, L. Elatine and L. 

 minor, Calamintha Aciiios, Galeopsis Ladanum and Euphorbia 

 exigua. Pyrus Aria cannot fail to attract attention by the snow- 

 white under surface of the leaves, which are rendered very con- 

 spicuous by the slightest breeze of wind. Clematis Vitalba trails 

 over all the fences, in which also Viburnum Lantana and Ligus- 

 trum vulgare form a prominent feature upon divers portions of 

 the chalk ridge. Several interesting plants are to be met with in 

 an old discontinued chalk-quarry at the back of Losely Park. In 

 addition to the several species of Orchidaceae before enumerated, 

 Scabiosa Columbaria, Helminthia echioides and Campanula glo- 

 merata abound ; and in the field adjoining, I find Petroselinum se- 

 getum. In the woods at the foot of the chalk, principally upon the 

 gait, Silaus pratensis, Senecio tenuifolius, Primula vulgaris, var. 

 caulescens, Daphne Laureola and Habenaria bifolia ; and in an
