Hypericum Androsœmum , L. In hedges and shrub¬ 
beries at Shide; apparently not very frequent in the 
island. 
H. pulchrum , L. Frequent at Niton, Ventnor, 
Staplers, Newport, Arreton, Freshwater and in Park- 
hurst Forest. 
H. hirsutum , L. In hazel-groves at Calbourne. 
Althaea officinalis , L. On the western bank of 
the river Yar, and at Norton frequent. 
Lavatera arborea, L. was found growing on the 
sea-coast at Steephill in a number of specimens though 
only within a small extent. On that spot the plant 
was not likely to have been cultivated, but it may 
have escaped cultivation for in the vicinity, I saw ’’the 
Tree Mallow” planted in the cottage-gardens. Dr. 
Bromfield considered it ”as a stray from cottage-gar¬ 
dens”. Townsend also only saw the species in cul¬ 
tivation on the island. However, he adds: ”. . . . 
Our older botanists had evidently no doubt about ”Our 
Tree Mallow” being native”. — 
Linum' angustifolium , Huds. In dry fields north 
of St. Catherine’s Lighthouse. 
Ilex Aquifolium , L. In thickets and hedges .at 
Niton and many other places very common, someti¬ 
mes with Stegia Ilicis , Pr. parasitical in its leaves. 
Acer Pseudb-platanus, L. Plentiful in the Un¬ 
dercliff, planted or perhaps a native, according to 
Townsend. 
Ulex Gallii , Planch. In Parkhurst Forest in great 
abundance together with U. europæus and 
U. nanus , Forst., from which U. Gallii is very 
well distinguished, though intermediate forms are 
common. I saw U. nanus in the most typical speci¬ 
mens on the downs (e. g. at Arreton). 
Genista tinctoria , L. At Calbourne in a field 
right in front of the railway-station in plenty. Also
