HAMPSHIRE BOTANY. 51 



it is not given in Mr. Clarke's list of Andover plants. Specimens 



from near Basingstoke are in Mr. E. S. H. Hill's herbarium, 

 gathered in 1839 and 1856. 



Mr. Eeeks records it for E.Woodhay 

 in the Newbury Field Club 'Transactions.' All these stations are 

 in N. Hampshire. I lately found the plant in S. Hampshire, on 

 the banks of the Stour, a mile above Hern Bridge. 



(Enanthe silaifolia, Bieb. (E. peucedanifolia t Sin., is entered in 

 the ! Botanist's Guide' (Turn. & Dill.) as occurring " at East How 

 in the parish of Subborton." The station is doubtless given on 

 the authority of Merrett, who at p. 84 of his 'Pinax' says, 



" (Enanthe angustifolia, Lob., p. 894. FHipemlula angustifoL, G., 

 1059. At East How in the Parish of Subborton, seven miles from 

 Petersfteld, Hampshire. Mr. Goodyer." I shall be glad of any 

 other information of (E. silaifolia as a Hampshire plant. 



(Enanthe Pkeltandrium, Lam. I have this recorded from several 

 stations in South Hants, but have reason to believe that some of 

 them at least refer to (E. fluviatilis, Colem. I shall be glad to

matilis, and would gladly receive specimens. 



Pimpmella magna, L. The only record I have for this as a Hamp- 

 shire plant is that in Mr. Clarke's Andover list ; and Mr. Clarke 

 tells me he suspects his P. manna was the large form of P. Saxi- 

 fraga. Mr. H. C. Watson cannot find the record of this plant on 

 the faith of which he entered it for South Hants in * Top. Bot.' ^ 



Sium latifolium, L. Two records exist for this as a Hampshire 

 plant: — one, " In the Stour at Heron Court near Christchurch," 

 communicated to Dr. Bromfield in a letter from Mr. Curtis ; the 

 plant is figured in Curtis' s 'Brit. Entom.' from specimens gathered 

 at Heron Court. The second record is " near Fordingbridge," 

 given in the ' Botanist's Guide' on Dr. Maton's authority. There 

 is no more recent record of the plant for Hampshire. 



Hernia ri a hirsute,, L. I found this in considerable plenty in 

 waste ground on the border of a field near Christchurch, on the 

 Iford Bridge Road. It has not as yet been recorded as a native of 

 England. I secured numerous specimens for distribution by the 

 Botanical Exchange Club. Botanists who have the opportunity 

 should examine this neighbourhood carefully, for it would be more 

 satisfactory that its claim to be considered native should rest on 

 more than one station. 



Asarum enrop&wm, L. This is entered for "Red Lynch" 

 in the 'New Forest Handbook' (p. 102), lately published at 

 Lyndhurst. 



I would ask any botanist who can give me further information 

 respecting any of the above-named plants as natives of Hampshire, 

 mainland or the Isle of Wight, to be so kind as to do so in the 

 pages of the ■ Journal of Botany,' or by letter addressed to me at 

 Honington Hall, Shipston on-Stour.
