SOMERSET PLANT-NOTES FOR 1906. 



By Rev. E. S. Marshall, M.A., F.L.S. 



My excursions in the county last season were but few ; some of 

 them were undertaken in the company of friends, to whom several 

 of the discoveries are due. An asterisk denotes what is believed 

 to be a new vice-comital record ; districts 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 being in 

 5. S. Somerset, the rest in 6. N. Somerset. 



* 



Ranunculus Drouetii F. Schultz. 8. Ditches, Shapwick. — R. 

 heterophyllus W eb . 5. Ditches about Dunball. — R. Lenormandi F. 

 Schultz. 6. Near Chard. — R. sceleratus L. 3. Kingston. — R.parvi- 

 florus L. 2. Near Minehead. 5. Dunball. 



Castalia alba Greene. 8. In a pond by the main Great Western 

 line, east of Burnham. 



Glaucium flavum Crantz. 2. Blue Anchor. 



Fumaria capreolata L. (F. pallidiflora Jord.). 2. Minehead. 

 F. Bomi Jord. and F. Bastardi Boreau (confusa Jord.). 2. Mine- 

 head; these are evidently, as I suggested last year (p. 116), the F. 

 confusa and F. muralis of Murray's Fl. Som. F. Borcei was also 

 observed at 3. Cothelstone. 



Barbarea intermedia Boreau. 2. Roadside near Dunster, spar- 

 ingly. 3. In considerable quantity by the road to Broomfield, 

 north of New Cross, W. Monkton. 



Brassica nigra Koch. 3. Hedges near Bathpool, W. Monkton. 

 9. Berrow. 



Reseda Luteola L. 5. Dunball. 



Viola sylvestrish&m. 1. Wood-border near Dulverton Station. 

 Polygala serpyllacea Weihe. 2. Frequent near Minehead. 

 Stellaria neglecta Whe. var. umbrosa (Opiz.). 2. Minehead. 6.

 var. neglecta (Kindb.). 2. Blue Anchor. 8. Burnham.— S. margi- 

 nata Syme var. *glmdulosa Druce. 8. By the tidal Brue, near 

 Burnham; very well-marked and luxuriant. 



Malta rotundifolia L. 2. Washford. 



Geranium Robertianum L. var. modestum (Jord.). 9. Uphill. I 



believe that the Cheddar plant of FL Som. should be referred to 

 this rather than to var. purpureum. 



Genista anglica L. 6. Moory ground east of Chard. 



Ulex Gallii Planch. 3. Near Kingston ; a slender woodland 

 state.
