NOTES ON THE ‘FLORA OF KENT,’ 841 
Buda media Dum. (Spergularia marginata Syme). In 1876 I 
gathered at Hay Cliff, near Dover, a specimen of this with ieky 
argos calices and pedicels, very crowded leaves and woody root, 
but the seeds were all surrounded by a wing. Although Syme 
says ‘f whats plant poeees the EK. B. plate shows the calyx and 
pedicels thinly hairy. Many authors say nothing as to armature, 
but Lange has ‘whole plant Peleion” In the Hay Cliff plant 
the stipules are much larger and whiter; in fact, the plant had 
quite the facies of rupestris. It seems to be the a bisa halo-

mentions (Eng. Bot. ed. 8, v. 2, p. 188 (1864) ) that B. pee 
was first introduced among British plants in the London Cat. of 
Brit. Plants, ed. 5, p. 2 (1857). This seems to be the case, so far 
as the name is concerned ; but I think there cannot be much doubt 
that the plant is well described in the Phytologist, ili. p. 821 (1848), 
by the Rev. F. J. A. Hort under ‘‘ Alsine rubra var. media Bab.” 
He says he had seen it in Dev 
Arenaria tenuifolia L. 2. Field near the Mill, Plumstead Com- 
mon. July, 1845. Dr. Bosse

ee sn road to Wickham ; ental in a shru 
Trifolium ee Glaemn Hudso The Sion seem to place 
more faith on Cooper’s Flora Maioplitana than did Mr. Watson, 
who describes it as a ‘‘mass of confusion and blunders.” Certainly 
no vice-county can stand on its aria alone, unless verified by 
specimens, 
Agrimonia Eupatoria L. 5. On the undercliff near St. Marga- 
ret’s Bay there occurs a oe of this plant simulating A. odorata. 
It seems to accord with the var. sepium Brébisson, Fl. Normandie, 
ed. 4, p. eas (1869), and a B umbrosa Coss. et Germ. FL. Paris,

re Hips 1 i L. 5. Between Walmer and Kingsdown. 
Artemisia maritima L. 5. Of the three forms we possess, I 
have only seen that which is generally placed to genuina between 
Sandwich and Pegwell Bay. Of that placed to gallica (considered 
oes species by Nyman), the a et eae h not great, seems 
constant. The Linnean plant, Sp. Pl. 846 (1753), seems to

oast. Nyman queries ‘“Angl.” for his maritima L., but the 
Kentish dank is the same as specimens named by Scandinavian 
authors. 
Petasites fragrans Presl. 1. Abundant at Lewisham near the 
railway station, and thence towards Deptford by the footpath 
leading past the West Kent Waterworks. 
Arctium intermedium Lange. 1. On the borders of the county 
between Wickham and Addington. I am glad Mr. Webb mentioned 
that his nemorosum was that of Newbould (hence also of Dabineion), 
as continental authors seem now fo consider that nemorosum ——
