Arum rraticum Mill. 1s Kent.—EHarly in the month of June, 
1879, I noticed growing in shady places beneath the Undercliff, 
Folkestone, an Arum which I strongly suspected to be Arum 
italicum (Mill.), which suspicion was confirmed upon my visiting 
Jersey shortly afterwards, where the plant grows. abundantly. 
Upon returning to . estone later on in the mont de 
especial search, and noted the plant in three distinct localities in 
the immediate neiphibduylicod=a} that of the Undercliff, just 
mentioned; (2) on @ roadside leading between Sandgate and 
from Folkestone; here A. maculatum grows abundantly, and the 
two species are found intermingled. I am pretty certain that 
careful inspection would result in “the discovery of A. italicum along 
the whole of this part of the Kentish coast; and I would especially 
signalize the neighbourhood of Hythe, We simian ce and Beech- 
borough Park as worthy the attention of botanists visiting the 
pcg in April, May, or June. It may also occur on the 
Warre m informed by Mr. Britten that Dr. Maxwell T
