date entire at the apex cro\vned with a style about its own 

 len^tli. Hook, in E. BoL Siippl. t. 2683. — CocJdearia, L. 



Fields and licdges, rare. Swansea. At St Peters and llanisgate, 

 Isle of Thanet. Left bank of the Dee below Chester. J. E. Bowman. 

 Fl. June. y.. — S — 10 inehes to a foot hiirh, branched, with large, 

 distant leaves and almost umbellate cori/mhs of numerous snvA\Jlowers. 

 Pedicels very long. I received s])ecimens many years ago, gathered 

 as wild, by the late Mr James Turner, at Swansea ; and in 1829 the 

 Rev. M. J. Berkelc}' found it at the two places above-mentioned ; " at 

 the one, spread over the greater ])art of a clover field ; at the other, 

 growing on a road-side, and abundantly in waste ground on the other 

 side of the hedge." 



3. L. ruderdle, L. {iiarrow-leaved Pepperiuort^ ; flowers dian- 

 drous without petals, radical leaves pinnatifid, those of the 

 branches linear entire, pouch eniarginate patent. E. Bot. t. 

 1595. 



Waste places near the sea, and among rubbish. Fl. June. 0. — Stem 

 sometimes a foot high, much branched. Seed-vessels numerous. Cotyle- 

 dons incumbent, as in most of this genus ; whereas those of its very near 

 affinity, L.Virginicum, are accumbent. 



4. L. campestre, Br. (^common Mithridate Pepperwort); pouch 

 ovate eniarginate winged rough with minute scales, style scarcely 

 longer than the notch, cauline leaves sagittate toothed. — Thlaspi 

 campestre, L. — E. Bot. t. 1385. 



Corn-fields and dry gravelly soils, not uncommon ; in England and 

 Scotland. FL July. 0. — 10 — 12 inches high. Stems solitary, branched 

 above. Lower leaves almost spathulate, all slightly pubescent, as well 

 as the racemes and pedicels. Pouch curiously scaly. 



5. L. Smithii, (^smooth Field Pepperwort^ ; pouch ovate emar- 

 ginate winged glabrous quite smooth or occasionally very 

 minutely scaly on the back, style much exserted beyond the 

 notch, cauline leaves sagittate toothed. — L. hirtimi, Hook. Scot. 

 i. p. 195. E. Fl. V. W'x.p. 167 (not DC). — Thlaspi hirtum, Fl. 

 Brit. p. 604 (not Z). E. Bot. t. 1803. 



Borders of fields and hedges in Norfolk and Suffolk ; very common 

 in Caernarvonshire and Anglesea. Frequent in Scotland. Warren 

 Point, near Belfast, and about Dublin, plentiful. Fl. June, July. If ? 

 — 6 — 8 inches high. Stems many, from the same perennial, or perhaps 

 biennial, root. Much resembling the last, but truly distinct, with a 

 whiter and more abundant ])ubescenee. Stem and racemes hairy. Pod 

 with a much longer style, quite glabrous, and smooth or even ; except 

 that rarely, in the middle of the back, there are a few very minute scales. 

 The true L. hiitum,^ of the south of France, is also very different from 

 this, being smaller, more hairy and even shaggy all over, especially its 

 seed vessels, which are less truly ovate and considerably larger. Our 

 plant seems not to be known on the continent and with us is probably 

 often confo'mded with the preceding. 



12. CocHLEARiA. Linu. Scurvy-grass. 



1 . C. officitidlis, L. (^common Scurvy-grass) ; pouch globose, 



' Rudely but faithfully figured in Baiihin Pin. v. W- p. 921.
