Geum rivale, L. (water avens) was said by Jacob (1777) to grow at 

 Hothfield, and is not unlikely to occur. Fragaria elatior, Ehrh. (Hautbois 

 strawberry), has become established in a few places. Potentilla procumbens, 

 Sibth., often overlooked, is pretty common ; while P. argentea, L., though 

 found in all the divisions, is only plentiful in district i. P. palustris. 

 Scop. {Comarum palustre, L.), perhaps extinct at Keston, has also been 

 noted in Minster Marshes (district 4), near Ashford, and by the ponds 

 at Dungeness. Alchemilla vulgaris, L. (lady's mantle) has several stations 

 in district 8, but is very rare elsewhere. Agrimonia odorata. Miller, only 

 noticed at Plumstead, Fordwich, Tunbridge Wells, Pounds Bridge, and 

 near Penshurst, is likely to prove more frequent in the Weald. 



The roses are fairly well represented. Rosa pimpinellifolia, L. (burnet 

 rose) grows chiefly on the downs ; of its hybrids (R.involuta, Sm.,and vars.),
