gesting a Salvia, did not mature sufficiently to determine 

 its name, when frost cut off its further growth. 



Sideritis montana, Linn. This widely - distributed 

 continental plant was represented last year by an 

 example or two. 



Chenopodiiuu opulifolium, Schrad., a widely spread 

 European species was, last autumn, the most prominent 

 plant on the sandy land now covered with houses ; the 

 density of its growth prevented it from being trampled 

 upon, and, with the following members of the same genus, 

 served as a shelter for the more lowly-growing casuals. 



Chenopodium ficifolium, Sm., which Mr. Wheldon has 

 found pretty frequent in South Lancashire, was represented 

 at St. Anne's by three or four bushes. It only flowered 

 in the middle of October last year. Neither of these two 

 species is American, as are the two following species. 



Chenopodium leptophyllum (Moq.), Nutt, is somewhat 

 variable. I had named only one of three sheets sent to 

 Kew as this species, but the two unnamed sheets were 

 returned under the same name. It was nearly as plentiful 

 as opidifolium. The plant is frequently met with on the 

 shores of the inland lakes and sandy coasts of the States. 



Chenopodium anthelminticum, Linn., the wormseed of 

 the Americans, was represented also, but sparsely ; being 

 a low-growing plant, much of the traffic over the area may 

 have destroyed it. The leaves of the St. Anne's plants 

 were very narrow and pinched. It is a European species 

 naturalised in the United States. 



Polygonum sp. A small-leaved knotweed belonging 

 to the aviculare group was noticed in the autumn, with 

 the flowers large in proportion to the slenderness of the 

 branches, and appearing throughout their entire length. 

 I have not been able to ascertain its name.
