phorbia Esula L., seudo-cyparissias (as \E . Cyparissias), from 
an old chalk road near ; Merkin Park, but o nly a single plant was 
seen. I have found Potamogeton prelongus Wulf. and Chara 
contraria Kiitz. (confirmed by Messrs. Groves) in pools by Walton 
Bridge. I have always thought that the cae = sp found

Mr. Hem sley ineludes it without query in his ‘ gee of the Flora 
of Bases" (Journ. Bot. 1879, App.), and there are specimens in 
Borrer’s herbarium. I have myself seen the ibis this year in

grows sparingly over a wide tract of country. The occurrence of 
the plant in this isolated station is so remarkable that it seems 
worth while to draw Bieter to abe fact that it is really a native 
of West Sussex. The nearest agai 9 a it is recorded are

about which recent verification is desirable In August last, sy the
