plant was first discovered in ecarter i in 1850 by Capt. Gosselin, 
who brought it from Lancresse Common among other things, for 
identification, to Mr. = Townsend, the author of the Flora 
Hampshire, and through Mr. Townsend it was recorded by Prof. 
Sahoun in the Botanical Gazette for December, 1850. Cicendia 
filiformis and Juncus cus capitatus are not rare in this neighbourhood, 
i d an 
certain to be found; and sometimes it rs abundantly in culti- 
vated ground. I once saw a potato-field aan tile filled with this 
plant,—fine specimens twelve or eighteen inches high. dArthro- 
lobium ebracteatum grows in several places on Lancresse Common, 
_ also at Cobo; and yet it must be described as rare. In

he will find Sinapis incana in profusion between the harbour and 
Fort Albert; and one of the very commonest of Alderney grasses 
is Bromus maximus. One of the great floral treasures of Ald

upon a stray specimen, he fied better rely on getting the plant in 
Jersey. 
Cynosurus echinatus is an unmistakable grass, very local in th 
north of Guernsey, but occurring abundantly when found at all. 
It seldom grows in the same profusion, however, two years in suc- 
cession in the same spot.
