Carex sylvatica, pauciflora, and muricata. By the side of 
a heath, near a brook. Respecting this genus I may remark, 
that no wonder it contains such a number of species, when 
both monoecious and dioecious plants are retained in it, and 
yet it is placed in the Class Monoecia. 
Eupatorium cannabinum. Rather rare. 
Chenopodium. Several species on the sea-shore at Pen pool. 
Trifoliun . A very common genus here. Of T. ochroleu- 
cum, found only one solitary specimen. 
Mentha. Very abundant along the sides of the rivers, 
hedges, & c. 
Pedicularis palustris. On some gravelly hillocks, near 
Blaize Castle. 
Anagallis arvensis. A rare plant in this part of the coun-

Statice. Armeria and limonium. Near the sea-shore at 
Penpool. 
Malxacece. The plants of this tribe are very scarce in this 
part of Gloucestershire. Malva sylvestris, and M. Rotundi-

Cardamine prat ensis. A few specimens. 
Clinopodium vulgare : Antirrhinum majus, with Linaria 
spuria and Elatine. 
Tilia europcea. Two or three specimens among the woods. 
Ligustrum vulgare. 
Tamus communis. An uncommon plant here. But on the 
South West coast of Somersetshire, near Watchet, on the 
Bristol Channel, it lines almost every hedge for miles 
around. It is there esteemed a great remedy for chilblains, 
and is termed by the natives Road-berry, from the circum- 
stance of its always growing on the side of the hedge, facing 
the road. 
Glaucium luteum. A few specimens on a muddy heath, 
near Penpool. 
Galanthus nivalis. A single specimen. 
Juniperis communis. Rather common in the hedges. 
Digitalis purpurea. Very abundant in all clayey and gra- 
velly soils here.

(Enanthe crocata. Plentiful.
