94 BOTANICAL XOTES. 



HERM. 



I have been to Herm two or three times this year and saw 

 several trees of Pyrus mains and Crataegus oxyacantha, 

 which it seems strange were overlooked by Marquand as they 

 appear to be indigenous. 



Of Euphorbia peplis (which is very rare, and extinct in 

 Guernsey and Jersey), I found about a dozen plants — not 

 large but beautiful in colouring (which colour has unfortu- 

 nately disappeared in pressing, as also that of Chenopodium 

 bo try odes that 1 found at Lihou). 



I gathered Echium planiagineum in Herm two or three 

 years ago and a pale pink echium vulgar e there this year. 



Mr. Leng gives me for Herm this year : — Fianaria offici- 

 nalis alba, Spirant he s autumnalis , Orchis morio and Orchis 

 macidata (the latter on Crevichon), and mentions the curious 

 fact that though Erica cinerea is plentiful, there does not 

 appear to be a single plant of Calluna vulgaris. Marquand 

 gives no Orchidacea for Herm. 

 JETHOU. 



During our excursion to Jethou I found a very fine plant 

 of Hyoscyamus nigcr. 



Sark. • 



I have done but little botanising there. Scabiosa arvensis 

 however is to be found near the Bungalow Hotel and a white 

 specimen of fasione montana. 



Julia Hichens. 



At the President's request I have prepared a short 

 Botanical Report supplemental to that of Mrs. Hichens. 



To commence with the summer excursions: — 



JETHOU, July 30TH. A great search was made to find 

 the White Pimpernel reputed to grow there ; the red variety 

 was in full bloom everywhere but no white or blue Anagal- 

 hs could be found. A plant of Henbane 1 'in flower was dis- 

 covered by Mrs. Hichens, which is an addition to the list of 

 flowers for Jethou — .and there was also found a variety of 

 Sonchus aspcra with very distinct and beautiful white 

 veining on the leaves. 



Lihou Island, August 26TH. Plants were found of 

 Chenopodium bolryodcs. Lihou is supposed to be the only 

 locality in these islands in which this rare plant grows. 

 Solaneum nigrum (black Solaneum) and Glaucium luteum 

 (yellow horned poppy) were also found, which though, com-
