ADDITIONS TO THE SARK FLORA, 1889. 



BY ME. G. T. DEKRICK.

 so long, that I did not anticipate any great increase this year. 

 I am pleased to record eight new species which I myself have

The pretty creeping toad flax has throughly established 

 itself on a bank near the Post Office. 



The dock is commonly distributed ; Port du Moulin, &c.
