50 DAVY: LINCOLNSHIRE NATURALISTS AT GIBRALTAR POINT. 
Lepigonum salinum « genuinum Auct.! (syn. Spergularia 
neglecta B salina Syme, E.B.; ‘S. salina Presl. (proper)’ of 
Hooker's Students’ Flora; and ‘ Z. sa/inum (Kindb.)’ of Bab. 
Man.) (sp 
agian sates iatolanion ¢ Koch’ ! (syn. Spergularia marginata 
Syme, .; ‘S. media Pers.’ of Hooker’s Students’ Flora ; 
and ‘Z. marinum “Wahl.”’ of Bab. Man.) (sp.). 
Malva sylvestris L. We used to eat the seeds of this plant 
with considerable relish when we were children, and called them 
‘ cheeses.’ 
Erodium cicutarium L’Hérit. 
Medicago lupulina L. 
Trifolium pratense L. 
Trifolium arvense L. (sp.) and T. scabrum L. ! (sp.) growing 
together among shingle behind the old Roman sea-bank. 
Gibraltar Point appears to be a newly-recorded locality for the 
latter plant. Mr. James Britten, F.L.S., included it in his list 
of county plants in White’s Sincilnahive oe (1872), but 
it does not appear as a Lincolnshire plant in ‘ Topographical 
Botany,’ ed. i. (1883). On p. 209 of the Botanical Record 
Club Report for 1881-82, the following note occurs :— 
‘T. scabrum L. Flats near the sea, Cleethorpes, North Lincoln; 
July 1882. Amos Carr. Recorded for the vice-county in 
1876 Report, but Mr. Blow—the compiler for that year—did 
not give the station.” ‘The locality for this 1876 record was 
probably Humberstone, as Mr. Fowler writes me: ‘Look 
whether I did not record 7: scabrum at Humberstone, in the 
B.R.C. Reports. I saw it there much finer than what we saw 
at Gibraltar ; quite large clumps on the loose sand, along with 
Eryngium maritimum, and 1 cannot find any other Lincoln- 
shire record for the plant in the B.R.C. Reports. 
Trifolium repens L. T. procumbens L. 
Lotus corniculatus L. Locally called ‘ Ladies’ fingers.’ 
Vicia Cracca L. 
sea lathyroides L. (sp.)! growing with Z+ifolium arvense and 
TL. scabrum, among shingle behind the old Roman sea-bank. 
The Rev. G. S. Streatfeild informs me that in June 1872 he 
also obtained it from Gibraltar Point, and adds, ‘I was at 
Skegness for two days early in this month (September 1891), 
and walked in the direction of Gibraltar Point, but did not get 
to it. Even at that late date I came aeTps & few specimens of 
V. lathyroides, of which I enclose one.’ Mr. Streatfeild’s 1872
