152 FLORA OF JERSEY. 



The Quenvais. /. Piquet, sp. 1868! North end of St. 

 Ouen's Bay. 

 Alderney (frequent). France. 



3. C. Cyanus L. 



An occasional casual since Babington's time. 



4. C. panicwlata L. 



Naturalised alien. Dry, sandy fields. Bare. July, August. 



In profusion over a circumscribed area on a hillside in the 

 north of St. Ouen's Bay, where it has been known for over 20 

 years : probably introduced, as Mr. Piquet suggests, with 

 lucerne seed. 



A genuine S. European species, not recorded, even as an 

 introduction, from any locality in Normandy, Brittany, or 

 W. France. In face of this it is impossible to claim it as a 

 native. Not mentioned in the "Flora Sarnica." 



5. C. ASPBRA L. 



Native or completely naturalised. Dry, sandy fields and 

 hillsides. July to September. 



St. Ouen's Bay, where it grows in dense masses in the north. 

 L'Etac. La Eooque. 



A common S. European species. In "W. France it is very 

 common in Charente-Inferieure, frequent in La Vendee, very 

 rare in Loire-Inferieure, beyond which Lloyd regards it as 

 introduced. " Very rare and doubtless introduced in Nor- 

 mandy" (Corbiere). In Guernsey Marquand ranks it as a 

 "denizen: local and rare." In Alderney there are "two 

 patches." In the former island it has been known for over 

 a century, and in Smith's "English Flora" (1825) it is recorded 

 (sub G. IsNAEDi) on the authority of Dickson from ' ' meadows 

 and pastures in the isle of Jersey," though Babiagton casts 

 doubt on the record. Just possibly native, but St. Ouen's 

 Bay is prolific in casuals and semi-naturalised aliens. 



6. C. CalcHrapa L. 



Extinct : probably a naturalised alien, but it is impossible to 

 say now. 



Near St. Peter's Marsh. Bab. Near the Second Martello 

 Tower, St. Aubin's Bay. /. Piquet, sp. 1870 I 

 Casual in Guernsey. Common in Normandy and W. France. 



7. C. solstitialis L. 



Casual, and not seen for many years.
