— The woods are confined to the north side, where 
they cover a great surface east and west of the river 
Medina. 
The following localities are given according to 
some notes, written during the summer. 
Clematis Vitalba , L. Common in hedges and shrub¬ 
beries all over the island; especially abundant on the 
chalk, but also growing on other soil. 
Ranunculus bulbosus , L. Of this plant I found 
an extraordinary small form on the Freshwater Downs, 
but as I only came across a few specimens, I am 
not sure whether it is growing there as a constant 
pygmean form, though I think it very likely. The 
specimens are 1—1,5 cm. tall, the single flower — 
and the very few leaves egressing directly from 
the bulb. 
R. arvensiSj L. In corn-fields west from Niton 
Village. 
Aconitum Napellus , L. In fine specimens on the 
banks of the Medina just above Newport. 
Glaucium luteum, Scop. Father common on the 
sea-coast between Blackgang and Ventnor in several 
places. I also saw some specimens growing on a 
railway-bank at a great distance from the coast, bet¬ 
ween Newport and Shide, where they nevertheless 
seemed to thrive very well. 
Caldle maritima , Scop. On the sandy shores of 
Totland Bay. 
Raphanus maritimus , Sm . The plant is noted 
from ”the cliffs at Steephill and shore towards Vent- 
nor 77 ! ) as growing abundantly. I closely examined 
the coast between these two localities, but I only 
found the species in one single place of a very small 
extent, just below St. Lawrence Hospital. In the end 
of July all specimens were fruited and about 1,5 in. 
in height.
