OF HARTING. 483 



irregularly covered with chalk or lime. As we drew 

 nearer to it, we found that this appearance was due 

 to dense patches of daisies all ' fondly true" to the 

 course of the sun, and thus presenting their innume- 

 rable stars of white petals uniformly in one direction. 

 On looking towards the field from the opposite side, 

 after we had passed it, we were unable to detect a 

 single speck of white over its whole surface. 



Monotropa Hypopitys (Yellow Bird's-nest) is abundant 

 on St. Richard's Hill, and is found occasionally in 

 the park, where we have met with specimens grow- 

 ing among the roots of the trees on which it is 

 parasitic. 



Chenopodium Bonus Henricus (Mercury Goose-foot, 

 Good Henry) ; C. rubrum (Red Goose-foot) ; and 

 C. olidum (Stinking Goose-foot), are common in 

 waste ground, on rubbish and dunghills. 



In our list of Orchids we claim : 



Orchis pyramidal is (Pyramidal Orchis), in pastures on 

 the chalk and on the Downs. 



Orchis Morio (Green-winged Meadow Orchis), in Park 

 field we have found this plentifully. 



Orchis mascula (Early purple Orchis), abundantly dis- 

 tributed in pastures and covers. 



Orchis metadata (Spotted palmate Orchis), on Downs 

 and in waste places. 



Gynmadenia conopsea (Fragrant Gymnadenia or 

 Orchis), in pastures on the chalk. 



Habcnaria viridis (Green Habenaria, Frog Orchis), 

 we have found this sparingly on West Harting 

 Down, and in two other localities which were 

 pointed out to us by G. B. Wollaston, Esq. 



Habenaria clilorantJia (Butterfly Habenaria or Orchis), 

 in nearly all the covers. 



Hermininm Monorchis (Green Musk-Orchis), in the 

 park and two other localities on the chalk.
