FLORA OF JERSEY. 103 



G. ROBEETIANDM L. 



Native. Shady hedges. Common. April to August. 

 Guernsej'. Alderney. France. 

 Var. PUEPDKBDM (Vill.). 



Native. Dry, sunny banks. Locally abundant. April to 

 August. 



The Quenvais. St. Brelade's. Near St. Peter's Church. 

 L'Etac. 



Guernsey (G. Eobbetiandm var. siodestdm). Normandy 

 (frequent). W. France (common in the south). 



A rather marked variety of the preceding species. The 

 points of distinction are : (1) The habit, erect or ascend- 

 ing and not straggling or decumbent ; (2) the almost 

 total absence of the villous hairiness and characteristic 

 odour of G. EoBBETiANUJi L. ; (3) the much smaller petals, 

 and finer yet stiffer stems and leaves ; (4) it loves dry, 

 open, sunny situations, often grovring in almost pure sand. 

 In habit the plant resembles G. luciddm L. I have 

 little doubt that this is the plant known as G. puepdeeum 

 VUl. to the French botanists, and the same form (from 

 Devonshire) was named " G. Eobbetiandm L. forma G. 

 puEPUEBnM Vill. e modestum Eouy et Fonc." for the Bot. 

 Exoh. Club in 1898. On the other hand, it does not answer 

 well to VUlars' own figure of the plant, if any reUance can be 

 placed on that, as was pointed out to me by Mr. J. Britten. 

 It is not the G. pnEPUEEUM of the Eng. Bot. and Forster, 

 according to Mr. Arthur Bennett.
