484 THE NATURAL HISTORY 



Ophrys Apifera (Bee Ophrys), in the park, on the 

 Downs, and in dry pastures on the chalk. 



Ophrys Muscifera (Fly Ophrys), in the Forty acres 

 lane, the Warren and other localities on the chalk. 



Neottia spiralis (Common Lady's Tresses), in the 

 park and on the Downs. 



Listera ovata (Common Twayblade), generally dis- 

 tributed. 



Listera Nidus-Avis (Bird's-Nest), in the Warren and 

 the Hanger on St. Richard's Hill. 



Epipactis latifolia (Broad-leaved Helleborine), along 

 the slopes of the Leith. 



Epipactis grandiflora (Large White Helleborine), in 

 the Warren. 



Hyoscyamus niger (Common Henbane) and Conval- 

 laria majalis (Lily of the Valley), are said to be 

 found here in a wild state, but we have never been 

 so fortunate as to meet with either. We have, 

 however, seen Helleborns viridis (Green Hellebore) 

 flourishing in a locality just without the boundary 

 of the parish. This rare plant was there growing 

 in profusion, and our attention was directed to it 

 by G. B. Wollaston, Esq. 



From the flowering plants we pass on to the Ferns 

 and Fungi with which we close our subject : 



Eupteris Aquilina (Common Brakes), in waste places, 

 and in the park where we have seen it growing 

 to the height of seven or eight feet and upwards. 



Ctenopteris vulgaris (Common Polypody), on shady 

 rocky banks by roadsides, and on old stumps in 

 woods and thickets. 



Cystopteris fragilis (Brittle Fern), in the park. 



Polysticum acnleatum (Prickly Fern). 



P. angulare (Willdenow's Fern). 



Lophodium multiflorum (Roth's Fern), on West Harting 

 Down.
