ON THE FLORA OF THE ISLE OF WIGHT. 29?
Cuniitm niacidutnm, L. A few plants on Bowcombe Down, 1865. Picris hierucioides, L. Near Watergate, Newport. CicJioriiiin Intybiis, L. " Field between Cowes and Newport." EI. Vectiana, p. 30.
Erlgeron acris, L. Several places about Freshwater, roadside near Norton; "near Wliitecross," Fl. Vectiana, p. 31.
Cineraria catnpestris, Retz. I think Mr. More's i-emarks on " Bellian " have set this matter at rest. The examination of Garnicr's list almost convinced me as to the correctness of the hypothesis I had long before forjned.
Inula Helenium, L. Also in a hedge bordering the marsh at Easton. The Totland plants are generally cut down before the flowers are fully blown.
Vinca major, L. In the Fl. Vectensis the station at Yarmouth, quoted W. B. Snooke, should be " Withering, Bot. Guide and FL Vectiana." Near Bowcombe Farm, an escape.
Gentiaua camin^dris, L. (p. 167). The date is, by a mistake, given 1869, instead of 1864., as in the paragraph cited (Vol. VIII. p. 160).
\G. collina, With., of Garnier's list, is only Gampannla ylomerata, L. See Fl. Vect. p. 291 note.]
Hyoscyatnus nujer, L. Very plentiful on shore near Hampstead Ledge. (I feel sure this nuist have been recorded, but cannot lay my hand upon the record.)
Solanuin nigrum, L. Gurnett ; St. George's Down; New Village, Newport ; Freshwater.
^juga reptans, L. ^3 (fl. albis). Forest Road, south side, near Gun- ville Lane, June, 1865. y. (pink flowers). Gurnett, 1865.
Nepeta Cataria, L. Near the racecourse, Bowcombe Down, in one spot, with Mr. Stratton ; hedge at back of old windmill. Freshwater, 1865; Amos Hill, Freshwater, 1870.
PUmtago Coronopus, L. Cowes, Freshwater, etc., 1865. \_AtripIex Halimus, L. What I take to be this shrub, has attracted my notice for some years on the bank of the stream close to the bridge near Freshwater Church. I have never seen it in flower.]
Polygonum littorale. Link. Totland's Bay, June 30th, 1864 ; June 1st, 1865. (A Polygonum, v/hich I took to be P. Rail, I found also at Tot- land's Bay August 16, 1864; August 21, 1865 — confirmed in my diag- nosis by Journal, p. 171.)
Epipactis latifolia, Sw. The authority for Shanklin and Godshill, Bromfield, p. 489, should be referred back to Bot. Guide.
(Malaxi-s paludosa, Sw. As I have shown in 'Science Gossip,' (1870, p. 234), this plant is stated by Dr. Bromfield in the Kew MSS. of the ' Flora llanton^.' F. v. vol. x. p. 112 note, to have been nu-ntioned to him bv Dean Garnier as one which the Dean believed he had found in the island.)
Allium vineale, L. Three or more years running in the hedge of a field at the back of Middleton House; abundant and finely in floAver by the Yar (east bank), 1870.
Aspleuium Rula-muraria, L. Plentiful on Thorley Church, most likely will be destroyed by the alterations.
Aspleuium Trichomaues, L. On the north side of Carisbrooke C!hurch, 1864,
