442 BOTANICAL NOTES. 



regard to tlic occurrence of certain rare or local species ; and 

 it has been found that some })lants which have been reckoned 

 among the discoveries of comparatively recent times were 

 already known to Guernsey botanists a long while ago. 



Several doubtful points concerning critical plants have 

 been settled by well-known English specialists, and in other 

 Avays the knowledge of our local Flora has been enlarged, 

 as Avell as its accuracy tested. Although but of small extent 

 the Sarnian Islands form an area which in botanical interest is 

 perhaps equal to any of similar size in the Kingdom. 



In the following pages I have arranged in classified order 

 all the notes and information collected since 1901 that 

 appeared to me worth preserving, but at the same time 

 omitting all notice of the new species and varieties which have 

 already been recorded in these Tra}isactio)Ls. For information 

 about these reference must be made, as above stated, to the 

 annual Botanical Reports which should, in fact, be consulted 

 side by side with the list now given. The fcAv additions to 

 the Sarnian Flora which have been made during this present 

 year are incorporated, in order that this paper may form 

 a complete supplement to the Flora of Guernsey up to the 

 end of 1908.
