Whilst these lists were passing through the press, H. C. Watson, Esq., sent me the following additions, all noticed by himself in August, 1861, within three or four miles of Brockenhurst:—

Nasturtium amphibium, Br., Great Yellow Cress, 101.

Viola flavicornis, Sm., Dwarf Yellow-spurred Violet, 189 h.

Epilobium roseum, Schreb., Pale Smooth-leaved Willow Herb, 371.

Euphrasia gracilis, Fr., 766 b.
