20 WOODRUFFE-PEACOCK : SEED-DISPERSION IN LINCOLNSHIRE. 
The White Turnip (Brassica Rapus) washed out of the higher land was 
plentiful, with here and there an Oat (Avena sativa L.), but no 
Barley (Hordeum vulgare), which might be expected, or Wheat 
( Zriticum vulgare) which certainly would not, unless it were one of 
the spring varieties (Z. estivum). The following notes are far from 
complete, for many of the smaller species were not in flower, and the 
seedling grasses, willows, etc., were beyond recognition in their 
advanced state. I have followed the London Catalogue order and 
nomenclature. 
Ranunculus sceleratus L. 
Papaver Rheeas L. P. dubium L. 
Nasturtium officinale R.Br. 
Nasturtium palustre DC. New to this neighbourhood. 
Sisymbrium Sophia L. (F. A. L.). 
Capsella Bursa-pastoris Meench. 
Reseda Luteola L., seedling. 
Viola arvensis Murr. 
Silene noctiflora L. Common in suitable situations in both 
vice-counties (53 Linc. S. and 54 Linc. N.). 
Lychnis alba Mill. 
Cerastium triviale Link. C. arvense L. 
Stellaria media Cry., and also C. neglecta Weihe. 
Sagina procumbens L. New to this neighbourhood. 
Spergula arvensis L. Both varieties have been introduced into 
this parish, Cadney, in sand from the beck. It is not a native 
of the peaty carrs. 
Malva sylvestris L. 
Geranium Robertianum L. 
Erodium cicutarium var. vulgatum Syme. Also introduced 
into Cadney with beck sand. 
Ulix europzus L., seedling from higher up the stream. 
Medicago lupulina L. 
Trifolium repens L. 
Vicia hirsuta Hook. All the specimens of this plant I took up 
had tuber-like appendages to the roots. 
Vicia sativa L. Washed out of a field of ‘tares.’ Roots same 
as last. 
Epilobium hirsutum L. E. parviflorum Schreb.
