SOUTH WILTSHIRE MOSSES. 297 



sylvatica L., and Hamulus Lupulus L. ; seen in Gower. Salix alba 

 L. and Si viminalis L. ; about Lanmorlais (introduced). Orchis 

 latifolia L. (segregate) ; locality in Gower not preserved. The 

 Juncus canosus form seen in Gower, on the N. coast, was J. Gerard* 

 Lois. ; and the Ruppia was It. rostellata Koch. Carex pallescens L.; 

 rocky railway -bank near Glyn Neath, ft distans L. and ft hirta L. ; 

 near Gowerton. Milium ejfusum L. ; in damp woodland near the 

 Resolven Waterfall. Deschampsia Jlexuosa Trin. ; on a railway-bank 

 at Gowerton Station; not a very satisfactory situation, but the 

 plant is likely enough to be native. 



I believe that these varieties and hybrids that follow have not 

 been noted for Glamorgan, and are therefore worth mentioning : 



Epilobium montanum X obscurum, one root, and E. montanum x 



roseum, two roots, in a damp garden in Swansea, in which the two 

 species last named abounded. Erythraa Centaurium Pers., var. 

 capitata Koch; among the Whiteford Burrows. Lamium purpureum 

 X hybridum (L. decipiens Sond.) ; cultivated ground along the rail- 

 way from Gowerton to Penclawdd. Rumex crispiis L., var. tri- 

 granulatus Syme ; near Lanmorlais ; this form I have only found 

 near the sea. Juncus conglomerate x glaucus (J. difusus Hoppe) ; 

 on wet ground adjoining the Crymlyn Bog; there is no doubt this 

 is unrecorded for the county. 



I add a few localities for rarer plants, already recorded, which 

 may have an interest for botanists visiting Swansea or Gower : — 

 Althaea officinalis is very abundant along the three miles of road 

 between Lanmorlais and Llanrhidian ; hardly any flowers are out 

 before August. Rosa systgla Bast. ; in a roadside hedge a little to 

 the east of Penard Church. Oenothera biennis L. ; well established 

 among the Grymlyn Burrows. Mentha sylvestris L. ; just across the 

 river, opposite Glyn Neath Station. The Sparganium in the canal 

 by the Crymlyn Bog is 8. minimum Fr. Alopecurus bulbosus Gouan, 

 may be found on the salt-marsh about half a mile west of Gowerton, 

 in a ditch near high-water mark ; apparently it is not plentiful. 



SOUTH WILTSHIKE MOSSES.

By James Saunders. 



The preliminary list of Mosses published on p. 69 was con- 

 fessedly incomplete, and comprehended only those found in a 

 limited area. Since its publication the Bev. A. L. W. Eyre has 

 courteously placed at my disposal information concerning the Moss 

 Flora of West Dean and its immediate vicinity. This is based 

 upon a collection made about forty years ago, and comprises about 

 eighty species, with half a dozen Hepatic®. A few of the commoner 

 mosses have been enumerated in the first list, and need not be 



repeated here. 



The whole of the specimens have been carefully examined, and 



the nomenclature brought into accordance with the London Lata*
