SOME KENT PLANTS OBSEBVED DUBING 1891. 



By the Bev. E. S. Marshall, M.A., F.L.S. 



My opportunities for work in this county, last year, were limited 

 to three or four days in early June, and again in mid- September. 

 A few forms hitherto unrecorded for it were, however, obtained, 

 besides one or two other things of sufficient interest to be worth 

 mentioning. An asterisk denotes the supposed novelties, 



* Ranunculus Baudotii Godr. var. marinus (Arrh. & Fr.). Ditch 

 near Lydd, towards New Romney. Determined by Mr. H. Groves. 



Polygala calcarea F. Schultz. By the Pilgrims' Road, near 

 Westwell. Noted from Dover and Hartlip in Mr. Hanbury's MS., 

 through not reported from v.-c. 15 in Top. Bot. All the Kent 

 specimens that I have seen are uniformly bright blue. 



* Armaria serpyllifolia L. var. Lloydii (Jordan). Sandhills at 

 Great Stone, between New Romney and Dungeness, associated 

 with var. glutinosa Koch ; very characteristic. 



Vicia septum L. With white flowers, at Westwell. 



*Rubus rubricolor Blox. MS. (R. erubescens Wirtg.). Thorndean 



Woods, near Canterbury. Named by Rev. R. P. Murray, three 



days after it was collected, from the Surrey plant so determined 



for him by Dr. Focke. To his eye and mine, it was quite impossible 



to separate the two. 



*J?. gratus Focke. Thorndean Woods, &c. ; plentiful. Accepted 



by Dr. Focke as typical. 



*/?. Babingtonii Salter. Heath near Hothfield ; a handsome and 

 striking bramble. Determined from two separate gatherings by 



Dr. Focke. 



*i?. Bellardi Whe. var. dentatus Blox. About Thorndean Woods, 

 &c, in abundance. Named by Rev. Moyle Rogers. 



Crataegus Oxyacantha L. var. oxyacanthoides (Thuill.). Abundant 



about Kemsing, on clay. 



*Callitriche polymorpha Lonnroth. Swift ditch, close to Hothfield 



Station. Leaves larger than in the Shetland and Surrey specimens 



which I possess. What little fruit there is seems right. Styles 



very long, erect in flower and young fruit, persistent. 



Epilobium Lamyi F. Schultz. Roadsides, &c, about Blean and 



Hoath. 



*E. obscurum x palmtre. Bogs near Hothfield; also by the 



ponds, Dungeness. 



Senecio viscosus L. Very plentiful on the beach at Dungeness ; 



less so, near Lydd. I quite believe it to be indigenous. New to 



E. Kent. 



[Plantago armaria L. On railway ballast near Lydd ; one plant. 



Casual.] 



Salicornia. Two unusual forms occur near New Romney. The 



first is decumbent, generally somewhat fan-shaped, much branched, 

 with very short joints, and seems to agree fairly well with the 

 description of S. appressa Dumortier, Opuscules de Botanique. The 

 second, which was found sparingly, is very distinct-looking. It
