640 APPENDIX. 



" In waste and cultivated ground ; very rare." — Bromf. " ©. Fl. June — Sep- 

 tember."— Br. i?/. 



"Gathered, May 27th, 1845, in some plenty on sandy hedgebanks in a lane 

 betwixt Marvel wood and Whitecvoft, near Newport. 



"As it presents itself in this island, the plant bears most resemblance to L. 

 incisum, but my specimens are far larger than those I possess of the latter, being 

 eighteen inches or more in length. It also agrees with Z. incisum in the size of 

 the flowers, which are less exserted than in L. amplexicaule, to which, as to L. 

 purpureum, it likewise has much resemblance. The uppermost or floral leaves are 

 less crowded than in any of the other three, and in the size, form and depth of the 

 serratures come much nearest to L. amplexicaule, but differ in being for the most 

 part subcunente at the base, or narrowed into an evident foot-sialk." " I should 

 say that L. intermedium was a variety, and but a slight one, of L. incisum, and 

 this latter but doubtfully distinct from L. purpureum." — Bromfield in Phylol. iii. 

 p. 666, to which we refer for fuller notes on this plant, which our author had not 

 inserted in the mss. notes of the Flora, which circnmstance, together with our 

 having overlooked the notice above quoted, is the cause of this plant not 

 appearing in its proper place in the text.

" The provincial area of this plant (A. arenaria of Woods) having been 

 restricted to three in the 4th edition of London Catalogue,' it may be as well to 

 mention that the species here meant is not A. rosea, Bab., which is common 

 enough, but the true laciniata." — Id. in litt.

In a shady copse near Bembridge, A. G. More, Esq. 



By the above name Mr. More identified his specimens found sparingly in the 

 locality cited, and Mr. Borrer corroborates this nomenclature. Mr. T. Moore of 

 Chelsea, however, would name them as a distinct variety, under the name of elon- 

 gala, their form being more attenuated than the ordinary state of his var. incisa, 

 which is also found in the Isle of Wight.
