NOTES ON THE ‘FLORA OF KENT.’ 
By Artaur Bennett, F.L.S. 
Tux publication of the above-named Flora by Messrs. Hanbury 
and Marshall enables us to see what has been done, and what has 
still to be undertaken, in one of the most interesting of the southern 
counties. I give a few notes on some of the most interesting of the 
species that seem additional to what is there printed, though, as 
the authors doubtless rightly say, the matter is condensed from a 
great mass of material. 
There are one or two Surrey plants omitted from the compara- 
tive lists of the five counties given in the introduction. Dianthus 
deltoides occurred in some plenty near Croydon, but is now all but 
extinet, though protected by the owner. Large tufts were formerly 
taken up for gardens. Medicago denticulata is also a Surrey species, 
though perhaps not on so good a basis as the Kent plant. Lathyrus 
> 
Orchis purpurea and O. militaris have both occurred in Surrey ; 
specimens are in herbaria. ©. Simia has not been found for many 
years. Juncus obtusiflorus may have the ‘‘?” removed from Surrey; 
Thave gathered it. Potamogeton angustifolius (Zizit) is a Surrey plant. 
he following notes bear upon the published Flora. 
Ranunculus Baudotii Godron. 10. This may be studied in a 
great variety of forms in the Military Canal. A. sardous Crantz. 
2. Swanscombe Marsh, Reeves; very fine. 8. Seasalter Level; 
1 inch high (parvulus L.). R. parviflorus L. 4. Near Reculvers. 
W. F. Miller, specimen. 
In fields between Bush and Halling the three Fumarias, densi- 
flora, Vailiantii, and parviflora, may be seen growing abundantly, 
differences can be well studied.

Bot. ed. 8, 27 (1851); (var. Hortii Syme in Ex. Club Rep. 1872-4, 
p- 9 (1875) ). 1. Plumstead Marshes; Woolwich. These speci-

duly, 01, e radical leaves are oval, tending towards 
ovate rather than obovate, abrupt or rounded at the base, and the 
broadest part in the middle, and not at all towards the apex.” See
