ADDITIONS TO THE SARK FLORA. 263 



are indebted to Mr. E. Marquand for its identification. It is 

 not a native of England, and lias not yet been observed in 

 Guernsey. It resembles a Chenopodium, so is not an 

 attractive plant, only a very ordinary-looking garden weed. 

 It is not an infrequent casual in England, and is a fairly 

 common plant in south-west France. Though it may not 

 occur again, we have to add it to the plants distinctive of 

 Sark ; these now number six, viz. : — 



Dianthus armeria. 

 Rosa systyla. 

 Pyrus communis. 

 Lysimachia nemorum. 

 Schleranthus annuus. 

 Amaranthus retroflexus. 



Two of the plants which I mentioned last year as almost 

 certainly existing in Sark, their discovery only depending 

 upon a visit to the right locality, have been seen and reported 

 to me this year ; but I have not added them to the list as 

 specimens have not been shown me. They are : — 



Caseuta epithymum, L. Lesser Dodder. Captain Carre reported to me 

 that he saw a small patch growing on grass and short herbage near the 

 Moinerie ; and 



Inula erithmoides, L. Golden Samphire. Mr. "W. C. Crofts wrote to me 

 saying he had found it growing on the north shoulder of Derrible point, 

 a spot difficult of access, and also on the side of a bay not named, facing 

 the Sept Moires. I hope to get a specimen of each of these next season. 



Our list now contains 345 species, a remarkable number 

 for so small an area ; we shall be pleased if members will 

 assist in further extending the catalogue.
