ON CARUM BULBOCASTANUM. 
ing a recent excursion to the eastern borders of Buckingham- 
company with the Rev. W. W. Newbould, it was our good 
meet with this interesting accession to ‘the flora in con- 
Glesable abundance between Eddlesboro’ and Ivinghoe, immediately 
e steep = ment of chalk which extends from 
vinghoe, and is thence prolonged into the Chiltern 
political geography, is but little affee Its exte s 
rather apparent than real, and might not on have been 
anticipate 
The Eddlesboro’ station is, however, as at present known, the 
most westerly in England. The district is drained by the Ousel, a 
tributary of the greater Ouse. As but little is known of the botany 
of North Buckinghamshire, I append a list o te more interesting 
plants that were observed on the same occasion : 
Ranunculus arvensis, L. Galium tricorne, 1 Fa 
Fumaria pede oe 
Helianthemum wits Geertn. 
Viola Riviniana, R. 
ai Sle Wend 
a Jord. (the only 
Arenaria stan Guss. 
Cerastium arvense, L 
Ononis arvensis, L. 
» campestris, Koch. 
Anthyllis Vulneraria, L. 
Hippocrepis comosa, L. 
Rosa micrantha, Sm. 
eynanchica, L. 
Lithospermum arvense, L. 
Origanum vulgare, 1. 
Thymus Chaiadean: Fries. 
Phieum precox, Jord. 
L. 
Huds. 
ommutatus, Schrad. y 
Of these, Fumaria parviflora, Galium tricorne, Avena pratensis, and 
Bromus commutatus are not given in the printed list of Buckingham- 
shire plants that was issued by Mr. Britten about ten years back. 
I have learned from Mr. Watson ri fe parviflora at 
all events is new to the Buckinghamshire Fl
