450. B. cernua, L. 



Native ; in watery places, frequent on the moors. 



G. Stapleton ; and Hanham ; Mr. T. B. Flower. We do 



not know that either this or B. tripartita has been found 



recently in these localities. 

 S. Marsh ditches" near Draycot, Burnham, Tickenham, 



Wedmore, Wells, and Yatton ; abundant in some of 



them. VII. VIII. 



CARLINA, Z. 



451. C. vulgaris, L. 



Native ; scattered over downs, hilly pastures, and heaths, 

 common. 



Acauliue plants are frequent on the Mendips. " Dying, 

 it does not soon decay, for the leaves and even flowers 

 which are of the nature of an Everlasting, battered and 

 bleached, stand many a wintry storm." SirJ. E. Smith. 



VII. IX. 



AROTIUM, L. 



452. A. majUS, Schk. Greater Burdock. 



Native ; by roadsides and in waste places. Common, but 

 not so abundant as the next species. VIII. 



453. A. minus, Schk. Lesser Burdock. 



Native ; in waste places, very common. VIII. 



454. A. intermedium, Lange. 



Native ; in waste places. 



This is apparently common enough, but we have constantly 

 found great difficult}^ in distinguishing it from A. minus, 

 and cannot therefore indicate its distribution. We are 

 decidedly inclined to agree with Mr. Watson in con- 

 sidering it to be a variety of A. minus.
