relation to the Soils on which they grow. II. 
(a) Chalk , where the soil was white or very light in colour. 
(b) Red Land , lying above (a), rather darker in colour and perhaps 
a little heavier in texture. 
(i c ) Chalky loam> very light calcareous soil, but slightly heavier than 
the above. 
The noticeable feature of the weed flora is the large number of species 
occurring, many of which are essentially characteristic or even symptomatic 
of chalk. In both these respects the flora is in marked contrast to that of 
the clay soils.
