apparently casual only. — L. arborea L. Appears to be native in 



both islands. 



Malva moschata L. var. heterophylla Lej. St. Ouen's, Jersey. 



Geranium sanguineum L. Still exists as a patch about two 

 yards across in Alderney. — G. rotundifolium L. Near Don Bridge, 

 and in a native-looking situation at the north side of St. Ouen's 

 Bay, Jersey. — G. Bobertianum L. var. purpureum (Vill.). Under 

 this name Mr. Lester-Garland puts a frequent Jersey plant with 

 small flowers, which also occurs at Vale, &c, Guernsey. G. 

 Bobertianum is absent from Sark. 



Erodium cicutarium L'H6r. fvar. pallidiflorum (Jord.). A 

 non-glandular pale-flowered form on the Quenvais, Jersey. — E. 

 moschatum L'H6r. The white-flowered plant is common at 

 St. Ouen's Bay. 



Oxalis corniculata L. This unstoloniferous plant of Jersey, 

 which is common about St. Helier's, occurs also at L'Ancresse, 

 &c, Guernsey. It is stipulate, and with strongly pubescent 

 carpels. I do not adopt the views recently expressed by Mr. 

 Kobinson in Journ. Bot. 1906, 390, respecting the reversal of the 

 names for the two Oxalis of our lists, but use them in the same 

 sense as Syme, Hooker, and Babington do.
