PROCEEDINGS OF THE 
Vicia septum. Common on hedge-banks, & c. I have 
found a variety of this plant with white flowers, and pale 
green leaves, but not differing materially in other respects. 
Ornithopus perpusillus. Gravelly pastures, near Chelms- 
ford. 
Trifolium subterraneum. Galleywood Common, Chelms- 
ford ; where it flourishes, almost buried beneath the turf. 
T. ochroleucum. Clay-pit, near Chelmsford, with Lathy rus 
Aphaca. 
T. medium. Broomfield, near Chelmsford ; very similar in 
appearance to T. pratense, but of a deeper purple, and having 
larger leaflets. 
Medicago maculata. Abundantly at Springfield, near 
Chelmsford ; leaflets invariably marked with a black spot, in 
the centre. 
Hypericum Androseemum. Danbury Park, near Chelms- 
ford'; but sparingly. 
Crepis biennis. Banks of Chelmer. This species is quite 
distinct from C. tectorum, in having larger flowers, and hairy 
involucre. 
Cichorium Intybus. Margaretting, near Chelmsford. 
Carduus tenuiflorus. Feering, near Chelmsford ; abun- 
dantly. 
Conyza squarrosa. Springfield, near Chelmsford. This 
plant I found formerly in this neighbourhood, but it now ap- 
pears extinct ; although I believe it is by no means uncom- 
mon. 
Doronicum plant.agineum. I have cultivated specimens of 
this plant, which were procured from Saling, Essex ; but I 
consider it is not entitled to a place in the Local Flora. 
Achillea Ptarmica. In ditches, Springfield Common. 
Anthemis nobilis. Abundantly on Galleywood Common ; 
where it grows so luxuriant, as to be sought for by chemists 
and others, for its valuable medicinal qualities. 
Centaurea sofstitialis. In a field at Springfield, Essex, 
growing among Medicago sativa ; but most probably intro- 
duced with the seed with which the field was sowed, as I have 
never found it anywhere else in the neighbourhood. 
*** In the very interesting family of Orchideae, I will 
enumerate all that are found in this part of Essex. None 
of the species noticed are abundant, as the soil is of a 
light gravelly nature, and in many districts consisting of 
a strong loam, which is by no means calculated for a plentiful 
development of this beautiful tribe.
