erect, and very tough ; leaves velvety, roundish, three-lobed, 

 two to three inches long and half that across, all irregularly 

 toothed; flowers yellow, crowded, a quarter of an inch wide; 

 the four-seeded globose pods are covered with hairy hooked 

 spines. 



Triumfetta Semitriloba. I,inn. (boor-bush of Lefroy. ) 

 This plant is not mentioned in Reade's Botany. With the 

 exception of being styled by the former "a largish bush " and 

 common in the Walsingham tract, it is probably a sub-species 

 of the real Burr-bush. 



Natural Order, Lineae. 



Linum Usitatissimum. Linn, (wild flax.) Stem eighteen 

 inches high; leaves narrow; flowers purple or blue. Grows on 

 the waysides, a remnant probably of former cultivation. 

 Annual. Not common. 



I/ef roy erroneously calls this ' ' Flag, ' ' and gives marshes 

 as its locality. 



Natural Order, Geraniaceae. 



Geranium Carolinianum. (wild geranium or crane's-bill.) 

 A spreading plant, rather hairy, main stem becoming prostrate 

 when mature. Leaves five-lobed almost to the base; flowers 

 pale- lilac, veined. Common on waste ground. Its peculiarly 

 shaped seed vessel has given its name. 



Geranium Dissectum. Linn, (crane's-bill). Very similar 

 to above but with flower paler and almost white. Is said by 

 Lefroy to be confined to St. David's Island. Reade does not 

 mention it. Annual. 



These wild geraniums in Europe are the origin of the Pelar- 

 gonium (pelargonium zonale), our garden geranium, the num- 

 ber and variety of which is constantly increasing through 

 hybridization. 



I have found in old quarries, field comers and waste ground, 

 the scarlet geranium flowering as profusely as in a garden, al-
