plants. Stem 3 feet high branched lower part downy, upper 

 glabrous. Umbels at first slightly drooping, rays smooth. 



2. A. vulgaris (Pers.) common Beaked- Parsley. Scandix 

 Anthriscus (Linn.) Engl. Bot. t. 818. 



Locality. On hedge-banks, waysides, and in waste places, under 

 walls. A. FL May, Jane. Area, 1. * * 4. * 



South Division. 



1. South-east District, "Among rubbish on Milford HOI," Dr. 

 Maton. " Nat. Hist. Wilts' 1 " Waste ground in the neighbour- 

 of Salisbury," Major Smith. 



North Division. 



4. North-west District, " Chittoe," Miss Meredith. "Biddeston, 

 Slaughterford, Derry Hill, and Bowood," Dr. Alexander Prior. 

 Whole plant of a delicate pale green, especially in the leaves, by 

 which it is at once distinguishable from all our other species in 

 this order. 



Chjerophyllum, (Linn.) Chervil. 

 Linn. CI. v. Ord. ii. 



Name. From (chair o), to rejoice, and (phyllon) a leaf; 

 a word employed by old authors in reference to the smell of 

 the leaves of C. sativum, odoratum, aromaticum, etc. The 

 English name appears to be a corruption of the Latin — Chwrophyll, 

 chervil. 



1. C. temulentum, (Linn.) intoxicating or rough-leaved Chervil. 

 The herb has a sweetish aromatic flavour, but it is considered 

 deleterious, as the specific name, temulentum, denoting a narcotic 

 or intoxicating quality implies. Myrrhis temulenta Smith. Engl. 

 Bot. t. 1521. 



Locality. In woods, hedges, and waste places. P. Fl. June, July, 

 Area, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Common in all the Districts. The roughness, 

 dark purple spots, and swollen joints of the stem, will at once dis- 

 tinguish it. This plant so imperceptibly takes the place of 

 Anthriscus sylvestris with its flowers, as the season advances, that 

 the two are often confounded, though they will be found very dis- 

 tinct upon examination.
