ADDITIONS TO THE FLOEA OF HEREFORDSHIRE. 



By the Rev. Augustin Ley, M.A. 



The following notes deal with plants unrecorded for the county 

 in the Flora of Herefordshire published in 1889, in " Additions to 

 the Flora of Herefordshire" (Journ. Bot. 1894, 207), or in " Here- 

 fordshire Rubi " (Journ. Bot. 1896, 155). Notices are also inserted 

 of a few plants already recorded for the county if deemed of sufficient 

 general interest. The writer offers thanks to the Rev. W. M. Rogers 

 for untiring aid in Fatbits, and to Rev. W. R. Linton for invaluable 

 help in Hier actum; to Mr. E. G. Baker for assistance in the Pansies 

 and Roses ; to Messrs. R. Towndrow, Spencer H. Bickham, Miss 

 E. Arrnitage, Mr. Winterbourne, of Leominster ; last, not least, to 

 Rev. C. H. Binstead, late Vicar of Breinton, now of Whitbourne, 

 without whose diligence and knowledge the additions to our moss 

 list would have been few and meagre. Unless where otherwise 

 stated, the records stand on the authority of the writer of the paper, 

 t is prefixed to plants thought to be introduced, and * to those 

 unrecorded for the county at the places mentioned above. In 

 nomenclature and order, the flowering plants follow the London 

 Catalogue, ed. ix. ; for Rubns, Mr. Rogers's Handbook ; for Hie rati urn, 

 Mr. W. R. Linton's British Hieracia ; for the Mosses, Mr. Dixon's 

 Handbook Catalogue have been used. 



Ranunculus Lenormandi F. Schultz. Bog in the Queen's Wood, 

 Gorsley, 1898. The only record for the plant except on the 

 high moorland of the Black Mountain. — Caltha palustris L. : 'var. 

 latifolia (Schott). Observed at Sellack and King's Capel in the 



south, and at Lyonshall in the north of the county. Doubtless 



general. 



'flora DC. Ross, 1897, Mr. H. Southall ! Ledbury, 



Bickham. — F. pallidiflora Jord. Garden weed at Ross, 1871, Herb. 

 Purchas ! Weston-under-Penyard, 1898 ; confirmation of the old 

 record for the same station in 1849. — F. ^purpurea Pugsley. Fown- 

 hope, 1871, Herb. Purchas ! Lyonshall, in abundance, 1902,— F. 

 Borcei Jord. It seems probable that far the larger portion of the 

 capreolate Fumitories of the county fall under this aggregate. The 

 writer has plants which he assigns to the type from Ludford Park,

Barbarea *arcuata Reich. After many years of watching and 

 cultivation of these plants, the writer feels justified in publishing 

 the following localities as, in his judgement, undoubtedly belonging 

 to this species :— Ross, wall-top at the Cottage Hospital, 1895, 

 and subsequent years ; King's Capel, in a grass-field, 1902. The 

 pod in this plant is usually thicker and shorter than in B. 



vulgaris. 



Lepidium *ruderale L. Waste ground at Colwall, 1906, 



Bickham ! 



Reseda Hutea L. Colwall, 1896, Miss Eoper
