634 PLANTS OF THE CHANNEL ISLANDS. [December, 



Orchis Morio. Habenaria clilorantlia. Bromus asper. 



Habenaria bifolia. Allium ursiiimn. Ophioglossum Tulgatum. 



« The following are rare English plants^ chiefly confined to the 



southern or south-western parts^ but are frequent in these is- 

 lands : — 



Mattliiola siimata. Polycarpon tetraphyllura. Triehonema columna. 



Helianthemum guttatum. Bupleurum aristatum. Cyperus longus. 



Erodium moschatum. Cicendia filiformis. Knappia agTOstidea. 



Lotus angustissimus. Orobanche coeriftea. Cynosm-us echinatus. 



(Var. ?) Lotus hispidus. Sci'ophularia Scorodonia. Asplenium lauceolatum. 



Herniaria glabra. Bartsia yiscosa. 



Ranunculus ophioglossifol'ms, Vill. — This plant is a native of 

 southern Europe^ extending northward through western France 

 to St. Peter's Marsh, in Jersey. It appears to be closely allied 

 to R. Flammula, but the stem is more erect and branched, and 

 the carpels are minutely granulated, whereas in the latter they 

 are minutely pitted or smooth, and have usually a hooked beak. 



Fumaria capreolata. — This appears to be an extremely luxu- 

 riant variety of F. officinalis, which is rather rare on arable land 

 in Jersey, the chief dififerences being in the sepals, which are 

 larger in the former, and the nut nearly orbicular, while in F. 

 officinalis it is compressed laterally. It is much more common 

 in southern Europe than in England. 



Matthiola sinuata, U. Br. — Very plentiful on the sands of St. 

 Ouen's Bay, and also in other bays of Jersey ; and Grand Cobo 

 and Grand Havre, Guernsey. It is common all round the Me- 

 diterranean, and up the west coast of Europe to Ireland. 



Erucastrum incanum, Koch, and Sinapis cheiranthus, Koch. — 

 Both of these occur in arid places near the sea, throughout south- 

 ern Em^ope, up the west coast to the Channel Islands. 



Helianthemum guttatum, Mill. — Abundant in many places on 

 the west side of Jersey, the Corbierre, St. Brelade, near Grosnez, 

 and Petit Port. It also occurs in southern Ireland and in An- 

 glesey, and is very common in southern Europe. 



Silene conica, Linn. — St. Ouen's and Grouville Bays, Quenvais, 

 and near St. Helier's. 



Silene anglica, Linn. — Frequent in all the Channel Islands, 



Silene quinquevulnera, Linn. — Probably a variety of the last ; 

 is found at Braye-du-Valle, near A^ale Church, Guernsey.
