t Plantago Psyllium, Liun. '^/^■^^^ y^.^^/;-' 



Sarnian ? " I found Plantago Psyllium in a light sandy 

 soil, St. Aubin's Bay, Jersey, in August last. It was not 

 growing in or near cultivated ground. I found only one 

 plant of it, and I am satisfied it was truly wild." (Harriett 

 Frances Evans, in Gard. Chron. Dec. 30, 1848). The oc- 

 currence of a solitary plant cannot warrant the addition of 

 this species to the list of Sarnian plants, unless simply as 

 an accidental waif.
