Viola *seg«talu Jord. Tillage at Sellack, 1906.— V. *Paillouxn 

 Jord. Tillage at Brilley, 1905.— V. -pallescens Jord. Tillage at 

 Sellack, 1865.— V. *sepincola Jord. (F. odorata X hirta, subodorata). 

 Far more rare than the cognate hybrid F. permixta Jord. Cherry 

 Wood, Fownhope, with white flowers, 1877. Other examples pro- 

 bably to be referred to this hybrid have been found at St. Weonards 

 (1875), Colwall (^1885), Mr. R. Toicndrow !, and Great Doward 

 (1893).— V. sylvestris Reich. The statement in the Flora of Here- 

 fordshire, that this violet is less common near Boss and in other 

 parts of the county than V. Riviniana Reich., has been shown by 

 longer experience to be incorrect. — F. tricolor L. Native in hilly 

 pastures in the north-west of the county. The following segregates 

 have been identified with some certainty : 



V. -monticola Jord. Tillage, Brilley, 1905 ; a very large-flowered 

 state, due probably to manuring of the soil. Under cultivation in 

 poor soil the flowers become much smaller. 



V. *P,ovostii Bor. Tillage. St. Weonards, 1880; Great 

 Doward, 1906. 



F. *contempta Jord. Upland pastures at Deerfold, 1882, and 

 at Byton, 1902. 



V. * hispid a Lam. Deerfold, 1871. 



F. ■■carpatica Bab. Shobdon Park, 1886. 



F. *Deseglesii Jord. Tillage. Hope Hansel, 1880; Sellack, 1905. 



Polygala *oxyptera Beichb. Dry hills, rare. Great Doward, 

 1890, 1894 ; Cusop Hill, 1898, Rev. W. M. Rogers ! Not extreme 

 oxyptera, which would hardly be likely to occur in Herefordshire, 

 but the plant of dry hills, which is nearer to P. oxyptera Reichb. 



than to P. vulgaris L. 



Silene ■■'nutans L. Very rare in the county. " In the grounds 

 at Wych Point, Halvern, apparently native," Mr. A. J. Cros field. 



Stellaria nemorum L. Damp river- side thicket at the Great 

 Doward, in abundance, 1899, and subsequent years. This plant 

 was certainly not to be found at this station in previous years ; but, 

 judging from its abundance, it must have arrived several years 

 before 1899. — S. media Cyr. *var. major Koch. Colwall, 1895, 

 Toicndrow (as 8. um brosa Opitz.) ; Sellack; Great Doward, &c, 

 1901. No doubt abundant throughout the county, although pre- 

 viously unrecorded. 



Claytonia \*sibiricah. and C. \' : - : perfoliata Don. "These two 

 are establishing themselves as weeds at Ledbury," Bickham. 



\*Spartium junceum L. In abundance in a railway-cutting at 

 Ledbury Station, Bickham. First noticed on the railway at Dymock, 

 West Gloucester, whence it spread to Ledbury. 



Trifolium repens L. var. *Totcnsendi Bab. In turf at Hoccas 

 Park, 1904, Bickham ! Authenticated by Hr. Townsend. 



Spiraa Ulmaria L. *var. denudata Bcenn. King's Capel, 1905, 

 with the type. Probably widely distributed. 



Rubus idceus L. var. obtusifolius Willd. In the gu-den at Wal- 



W 



undifolius Bab. 



Lyonshall Park Wood, 1900.
