ADDITIONAL NOTES, ETC. 455 



601. Carduus palustris, vol. ii. p. 79. 



Mr. S}Tiie confirms this as an Orkney species, thus 

 giving increased probability to the suggestion that it was 

 the " C. crispus " of Lowe's list in Barry's History. 



603. Carduus Forsteri, vol. ii. p. 8J. '^ 



This is certainly extinct in the station by Whitemoor 

 Pond, mentioned in volume second, page 8^. Of the plant ^. 

 from Mr. Borrer, there also alluded to, that botanist 

 writes, " It is very possible that my gai-den plants, raised 

 from seeds of a true plant (now dead) brought from the 

 Frant station, are hj^brids between it and C. monspessula- 

 nus which grew hard by. I have seen genuine C. Forsteri 

 only in Frant Wood, and near Bridge, and on Ditchling 

 Common, always among C. pratensis and C. palustris." 

 The true C. Forsteri did not seed in my garden, where it 

 was kept in a flower-pot, away from any other species of 

 Carduus for two seasons, and was then unfortunately de- 

 stroyed by the subterranean larva of some large moth. 



604. Carduus pratensis, vol. ii. p. 83. 



Ascends to 300 yards in the province of Severn, county 

 of Monmouth. 



605. Carduus tuberosus, vol. ii. p. 83. 



There is yet no other habitat certainly known for this 

 species, besides the original one, in the county of Wilts, 

 from which Mr. Babington possesses a specimen, picked 

 by the Rev. J. Downes. Mr. Woodward's plant has not 

 hitherto flowered in my garden, but its leaves of 1851 had 

 become so like those of ordinary C. pratensis, that I can 

 now scarcely entertain a doubt of the si^ecies to which it 

 should be referred being C. pratensis rather than C. tube- 

 rosus. Still this is not quite cei'tain. I was indebted to 

 Mr. T. B. Flower for the sight of a garden example of 

 Mr. Westcombe's Carduus (supposed, " tuberosus ") from 

 Glamorganshire, mentioned on jjage 83 of volume second ;
