POLYGALACE^. 



POLYGALA, IA7Ui. 



83. P. vulgaris, L. Milkwort. 



P. repens, Ger. em. (Blackst.). 



Cyb. Br. i. 186 ; iii. 390 ; Comp. 111. Syme E. B. ii. tt. 185 and 187. 

 Heaths and commons ; rather rare. P. June — August. 

 I. Harefield ! ; Blackst. Faso. 79. Ruislip and Harrow Weald Com- 

 mons ; Melv. 12. Stanmore Heath. 



III. Drilling ground, Hounslow. 



IV. Deacon's Hill, near Elstree. North Heath, Hampstead. 

 VI. Edmonton. 



VII. South Heath, Hampstead. 



First record: Blackstone, 1737. With the exception of the Harefield 

 plant, which is typical 'eu-vulgaris' of Syme, all the Middlesex speci- 

 mens are to be referred to P. dcpressa, Wenderoth {Syme E. B. t. 187). 

 A variety noticed under the name of P. myrtifolia paliistris humilii 

 et ramosior was found (IV.) in some boggy meadows near High- 

 wood Hill, beyond Hendon ; Blackst. Spec. 77. 



CARYOPHYLLACE^. 



DIANTHUS, Lmn. 



[84. B. prolifer, L. ' Childing Sweet Williams.' 



Armcria prolifera, Ger. (How). Caryophyllus sylvestris prolifer, C. B. P. 



(E. Syn. iii.). 

 Cyb. Br. i. 189 ; Comp. 112. Syme E. B. ii. t. 196. 



Sandy and gravelly places ; very rare. A. July. 



In the grounds 'twixt Hampton Court and Tuddington ; How, 10, and 

 Merrett, 10. Hampton Court; Macreight, 28 (probably only copied 

 from the former authors). 



First record: How, 1660; also first as a British plant. Perhaps, as 

 suggested by Mr. H. C. Watson, this may have been only D. ddtoideg 

 (q. v.); but the locality is not an unlikely one, especially as there 

 is satisfactory evidence of the occurrence of the plant near Windsor.] 



[85. B. Armeria, L. Depfford Pink. 



Caryophyllits pratensis noster major (Park.). Caryoph. latifol. barbatus 

 minor annuxis fl. minore (Newton). Caryoph. prattnsis, Ger. tm.
