332 BOTANICAL NOTES, NOTICES, AND QUERIES. 
‘of the second. That county, besides its great variety of geological struc- 
ture and of vegetation as thereon dependent, contains within its narrow 
limits an eastern and what may be termed a sub-western flora. The do- 
main of the latter is the tract of heath and sand extending from Esher and 
Moulsey diagonally to Hindhead and Haslemere. While a great propor- 
tion of the plants of the eastern region are wanting in this, it possesses 
many which are not found further east, and is still more distinctly charac- 
terized by the abundance of several, of which only stragglers are found in 
the region of Croydon, Godstone, Reigate, and Dorking. It is the chosen seat 
of Apera Spica-Venti; Silene an glica ; Hypocheeris glabra (which abounds 
there, while I have seen it nowhere else in Surrey except a few straggling 
plants on Reigate Heath); Zrysimum cheiranthoides and Marr ubium vub- 
gare (both found near Reigate, but in no similar abundance) ; Athyrium 
Filix-feemina, more profuse there than elsewhere; Myrica Gale; Senecio 
sylvaticus; Geranium lucidum; Rhynchospora alba; 1 believe I might add 
Meracium rigidum, but the Surrey Hieracia, though less numerous, require 
revision as much as those of Yorkshire. Campanula Rapunculus is plentiful in 
one corner of the district. Among its rarieties are Campanula patula ; Co- 
marum palustre ; the two Elatines, Hydropiper and hexandra ; Chetospora 
nigricans, which I had the good fortune to rediscover in its old recorded 
locality, Bagshot Heath ; Hippuris vulgaris ; Utricularia minor ; Arnoseris 
pusilla; Linaria purpurea; Leonurus Cardiaca; Allium vineale; Zannichelha 
palustris ; Ceterach officinarum. 
Has Calamintha Nepeta been ever really found in Surrey? Several bo- 
tanists have thought they had found it, but by no search in the localities 
indicated have I discovered anything nearer to it than Calamintha offici- 
nalis. A Calamintha taller than officinalis, but with much smaller leaves, 
resembling those of Origanum vulgare, and with a stem not erect, but as- 
cending from a bend near the root, which I believe to be C. Nepeta, I 
have seen in various places on the Continent, among others especially near 
Rouen; and this plant grows, or did grow in 1843, by the side of the 
road from Marlow to Hedsor and Clifden. I last year recognized what 
seemed the same plant (but did not botanically examine it) between Eyns- 
ford and Farningham, in Kent. Perhaps some one among your correspon- 
dents, who has attended to the subject, would give your readers the benefit 
of his experience. J.5. M. 
Flora of the Orme’s Heads.—Having been fortunate enough to spend 
six weeks in July and August, 1852, at the village of Llandudno, at the 
foot of the Great Orme’s Head, I am not only able to confirm Mr. Woods’s 
stations for almost all of the interesting plants which he enumerates as 
natives of that charming spot, but to add many others of scarcely less in- 
terest. Indeed when I have enumerated all its treasures, I fancy that the 
readers of the ‘ Phytologist ’ will agree with me in thinking that few spots 
in our island present features more attractive to the botanist, and, let me 
add, if he have the misfortune to be a valetudinarian,—which I hope few 
of the open-air fraternity are,—or the good fortune to be a lover of the pic- 
turesque (and what lover of flowers is not ?), he will find the additional 
charm of health-fraught breezes and scenery the most pleasing in that 
favoured nook. Thalictrum minus abounds about Llech. Papaver hy-
