408 RARE PLANTS IN WEST SURREY. 
we gathered Limosella aquatica in profusion: adjoming this 
track a broad-leaved variety of Sedum Telephium, said to be S. 
purpuratum, is also very plentiful. 
By the brook, Trifolium subterraneum and T. striatum oc- 
curred ; the former in abundance and luxuriant, the latter spa- 
rely Alchemilla vulgaris and Habenaria viridis are said to 
grow in this neighbourhood, but we had not time to look for 
them. We were however well satisfied with the results of our 
expedition; we spent a pleasant day in a pleasant country, and 
with amiable associates; the latter especially give additional 
charms to every pursuit.

Rare Plants in West Surrey. 
Campanula Rapunculus has its seat in a district of which the 
centre is about Hersham, and which extends to Weybridge, 
Esher, and towards Walton, but hardly beyond, though strag- 
gling specimens are now and then found in distant places. I 
suspect it is often mistaken for Cy patula, and the distinction, 
as defined in botanical books, is so shadowy, that I never felt 
certain of not confounding them, until I found the real patula, 
which is rather frequent on hedge-banks in the neighbourhood 
of Chobham and Windlesham, but nowhere else (to my know- 
ledge) in the county. The Leonurus grows about four miles 
+ from Godalming, on the road to Haslemere, in considerable 
quantity, but so near a cottage-garden, that if this plant were 
now commonly cultivated, I should not venture to pronounce it 
wild; I believe however it is everywhere in England an intro- 
duced plant. I sought for it vainly in a printed locality (Little 
London, Albury, Surrey), and found that it had disappeared. 
Epilobium roseum had vanished from near Albury Church, but in 
the latter situation plants cannot be expected to be permanent. 
Ts not the Oxalis mentioned in the ‘ London Flora,’ as a weed in 
gardens (only one), Albury-street, O. stricta, instead of corni- 
culata? If not, they both grow there, as I found O. stricta 
there last autumn. The point is of some interest, as it would 
be curious that so decidedly western a plant as O. corniculata 
should naturalize itself in Surrey.
