422 THE JOUBNAL OF BOTANY 



Galium palustre L. As a plant about eighteen inches high, 

 gathered at Beaumont, Jersey; has very narrow leaves, few- 

 flowered dense cymes of small flowers, does not come under any 

 of our named forms ; to this may also belong a very narrow-leaved 

 dwarf plant which occurred in damp places near Paradis, Guernsey. 

 — Var. Witheringii (Sm.). St. Ouen's, Jersey. — G. verum L. var. 

 maritimum DC. Common on the dunes at St. Ouen's, &c, at 

 L'Ancresse, Guernsey, and at Longy, &c, Alderney. — G. verum x 

 Mollugo. This hybrid was noticed in the road leading from 

 St. Aubin's to Portelet; it is nearer verum, and at St. Ouen's, 

 Jersey, also as a plant nearer to Mollugo at Vale, Guernsey, where 

 the habit was much like Mollugo, and the plant did not blacken in 

 drying, but the flowers w T ere distinctly yellow. 



Sherardia arvensis L. fvar. maritima Griseb. Near St. Helier's, 



Jersey. 



Kentrantkus ruber DC. Abundant about St. Helier's, &c, in 

 three distinct colours — dark red, pinkish-purple, the normal tint, 

 and white. 



Valerianella carinata Loisel. Common in Jersey ; and Guern- 

 sey. — V. eriocarpa Desv. Growing on the rocks by the road near 

 St. Peter's Barracks, Mont a la Brune, Jersey. 



Gnaphalium undulatuvi L. I saw this South African species 

 growing among Pteris on the slope of Portelet Bay, Jersey ; quite 

 naturalized. 



Filago gallica L. 



Mr 



covered it near Vallette, Sark, growing in some quantity. 



Inula Helen i urn L. Near L'Eree, by a house, Guernsey. — /. 

 crithmoides L. Near Grosnez Castle, Jersey. 



Matricaria inodora L. As Mr. Lest6r-Garland says, the mari- 

 time form var. salina Bab. is a very distinct-looking plant. It is 

 very abundant round St. Aubin's Bay, and also at the Corbiere 

 Kocks, Jersey; it also occurs at Vale, Guernsey. The stem is 

 quite woody, and the thick clusters of the old leaves at the base 

 of the stem give it quite a characteristic appearance. Probably 

 it is the M. maritima of the Flore de Normandie; writing of this 

 plant, Corbiere says : " Les graines, semees en terre ordinaire par 

 M. Lloyd, lui ont donne, d6s la premiere annee, le M. inodora de 

 l'interieur." I looked out rather carefully for transition forms, 

 but did not see them. 



Diotis maritima Hook. The locality where I saw this growing 

 in Jersey in 1877 is now covered by the St. Ouen's sea-wall. It 

 appears now extinct in the islands. 



hSenecio Cineraria DC. On the steep bank of a road near 

 St. Aubin's, where it has escaped from a garden, but will soon be 

 naturalized. 



hairy 



fvar. hypoleacum DC. A pretty 



bove and covered w r ith a whitish 



Millbrook, Jersey. — C\ arvense Scop. 



fvar. horridum. St. Catherine's Bay, Jersey. — Var. mite (Koch). 

 Pont Marquet, Jersey ; Vale, Guernsey. 



Centaur ea nigra L. At St. Ouen's this occurred as a plant
