Camelina sativa has been very rarely met with in this 
neighbourhood. It is often imported with flax seed and has 
no claims to be considered even naturalised in any part of 
our island. I found it in July last, in considerable quantity, 
in a field at Bowdon. 
Saponaria officinalis grows on the road side just under 
Delamere church. 
Cerastium aquaticum occurs near Rostherne. It covers 
the bramble bushes with its angular, long and straggling 
stems which are dichotomously branched, and on the upper 
portion of the plant very viscid. 
Cerastium arvense. This is a rare plant in the county; I 
discovered it in several places round Oakmere, on the sandy 
hedge banks, in the lanes leading to the lake. 
Hypericum elodes, Fish pool, Delamere Forest. 
Geranium lucidum I have seen in several places about 
Bowdon. This species has doubtless escaped from the 
gardens, having probably been brought with the limestone 
so commonly used for rock work. 
Ononis arvensis, occurs in abundance near the edges of 
a pond, on Dukinfield Hall Farm, Mobberley. 
Melilotus arvensis , from Timperley, must be looked upon 
much in the same light as Camelina sativa. 
Trifolium striatum is marked in the supplement to the 
“ Cybele Britannica ” as absent from subprovince Mersey. 
Mr. Watson however informs me that it has since been 
discovered. I have the pleasure to record its existence on 
Eddisbury Hill, near the remains of the Saxon camp; it 
grows among the grass and would not readily be noticed ; it 
is however plentiful, and has no appearance of being a mere 
waif. 
Cicuta virosa. For many years I have looked for this 
plant in the localities mentioned by Buxton, namely, Buck- 
low Hill and Knutsford Moor, but have never been able in 
either station to discover its hiding place. It was only last
