NOTES ON THE DORSET FLORA. 1 5 



assumed as the rule where no other letter oceurs to mark the 

 exceptions. I have drawn attention below, under Rhamnns 

 Fraiigula, to the correct spelling of the name of my friend, the 

 late ]Mr. F. T. Richards, who is not always recognisable on the 

 pages of the second edition of the County Flora. 



Thaliciriim flaviim, L., Edmondsham. — Adonis, aidinnnalis, L., 

 has been reported to me as having been found by Mrs. Head 

 near (Zx'A.\\\)OX\\Q.,-^Ramcnciilus Lingua, L., near High Hall, 

 Canon E. R. Bernard. — A', sardous, Crantz, Goatham, and 

 Rumford, two outlying districts of Edmondsham. — Aconilum 

 Napellus, L., in the borders of a field near the Deer Park, St. 

 Giles', well established, but doubtfully native. A woman I was 

 visiting near Poole once told me that her name for the jMonks- 

 hood was " Old woman in her bed," adding, as she pulled 

 the covering petals off, " with her shoes on," the feet being 

 represented by the deformed anthers. 



Berberis vulgaris, L., occurs in a hedge near a cottage, 

 Edmondsham. — Papaver RhcEas, L., var. strigosinn (Boenn.) 

 occurs here. I have also seen var, Piyoni, Druce, in a garden 

 in Parkstone, a form with the peduncle densely hispid with 

 reddish bristles. The ordinary type and intermediate forms were 

 also present.— P. hybridum, L., Kingsdown, near Badbury Rings. 

 — Glaiuium flavum, Crantz. G. Chapman's Pool and on chalk 

 clitfs in Swanage Bay. — Corydalis lutea, DC, a weed in 

 Edmondsham Rectory garden at the foot of walls. — Fumaria 

 Boraei, Jord., Shapwick. D. \\'areham. Several of the localities 

 in the Flora for F. confusa, Jord., need to be revised and placed 

 under F. Boraei. — F. densiflora, DC, Goatham. — F. parviflora, 

 Lam. Cultivated field near Badbury Rings, Rev. R. P. IMunay. 



Nasturtium officinale, R. Br., var. microphyllum (Reichb.), 

 perhaps no more than a state induced by drier situation, 

 Edmondsham. — N. palustre, DC, \ar. pinnaiifidum, Tausch., 

 shallow pond, Edmondsham. — Erophila vulgaris, DC, east of 

 Aimer. D. Wareham. — Var. stenocaipa, Jord., down, N.E. of 

 Handley. — E. praecox, DC, a form, on gra\el and on a dry 

 bank, Edmondsham Rectory garden. — Cochlearia Armoracia, L.,
