PROCEEDINGS OF THE 
and crossing the Park by the first path on the right, we en- 
tered the small copse by which this portion of it is skirted, 
and about a chalk pit near the gate observed Bromus erectus, 
Orchis conopsea, Listera ovata, Astragalus glycyphyllus , and 
a variety of Origanum vulgare with white flowers, and in the 
field below Papaver hybridum and somniferum , with Bupleu- 
rum rotundifolium and Faedia dentata, while the hedge border- 
ing this field afforded Rosa spinosissima and Campanula Tra- 
chelium. Leaving this field and passing by the footpath 
towards Cuxton, we found in the field above the lodge near 
the style joining the high road, so much of the Br achy podium 
pinnatum that the turf was coloured of a beautiful pale green 
by its abundance, and on the bank bordering the corn-fields 
at the back of the lodge, Atropa Belladonna and Marrubium 
vulgare occurred plentifully. 
In a hilly field immediately behind Brick House Farm on 
the Cuxton Road, which has recently been converted into a 
fir plantation, we found Salvia pratensis and Rosa Rubiginosa, 
particularly at the upper part of the field about forty paces 
from the hedge bordering it on the left. All over this field 
Campanula glomerata and Cldora perfoliata were abundant. 
Returning again towards Cuxton, we picked on our way 
one plant of Orobanche major , and on the banks of the Med- 
w r ay saw Triticum junceum, Beta maritima, Statice Armeria 
and Limonium and Artemisia maritima in abundance. 
Following the line of road pursued in our second excur- 
sion, I may remark that in addition to many of the plants 
already named, we found on the road side between Darent 
and Longfield Hill, Artemisia Absinthium and Bupleurum 
rotundifolium , and at Cobham, Althaea hirsuta and Salvia 
pratensis in a different spot to that formerly described. I 
shall point out the station in which these plants were des- 
cribed, and then conclude. 
“ Near the junction of the three parishes of Cobham, Cux- 
ton, and Stroud,” has long been the direction given for find- 
ing these rare plants. Its inefficiency is proved by the 
circumstance of five individuals who were present in our 
first excursion having sought for it by this direction in vain, 
I shall therefore note the line of road by which we disco- 
vered them. Entering the Park by the gate nearest to Cob- 
ham, we passed by the road near the Mausoleum to the 
large beech tree which forms the point of junction of the 
three parishes I have named, following this road to the
