 138 A SUPPLEMENT TO THE ' FLORA VECTENSIS.'

also glabroits and bordered with purple, and which seem analogous to the correspondinijj vaiiety holosteoides of C. trivicde.

Arenaria leptoclados, Gu^?.. In cultivated fields and on wall-tops; more frequent than the typical A. serpyllifulia. At Eembridge, 1859, Eyde, Godshill, Sandown, Freshwater, etc.

A. Lloydli, Jordan. Plentiful ou the sandhills of St. Helen's Spit, 1859. On the site of the former Needles Lighthouse (H. C. Watson).

Lepigonum rupicola, Lebel. Plentiful on the rooks in the landslip at Luccombe, 1859; cliffs under Bonchurch and Ventnor; along the Uu- dercliff and at Niton and Blackgang; sandy cliffs at Brightstone; Compton Bay, and all over the cliffs at Freshwater. A very distinct species.

L. ritbnan, Pries. Sandy heaths ; about Godshill, Sandown, etc. ; frequent.

Lepigonnm scdhnnn, Presl. ; L. neghctnm, Kindberg, olira. On banks and waste places near the sea, and in salt marshes, plentiful on the north side of the Isle of Wight (1860). In the marshes north of Brading Harbour I have found what I believe to be the true L. medium of Fries, a smaller plant vvitii smooth seeds and a leafy panicle.

L. ninr'miim, Wahl. ; L. marginatum, DC. Very common in the wet- test part of salt marshes, ou ground occasionally overflowed at high tide. I have tried the experiment of sowing the seeds in ordinary soil, and the plants which came up still retained the characters and habits of the parents.

\_lhjppricum liircinmn, L. A single bush was once found by the Rev. T. Salwey at tShanklin, growing on a hedgebank close to a garden.]

Obs. H. maculatum, Flor. Vect. Appendix. Mr. J. Woods kindly sent me the specimen which he found, near Ninham Farm, and having myself gathered the same plant in this locality, I cannot but consider it a form of H. perforatum. It has the leaves aU perforated with numerous pellucid dots.

Geranium Rohertianum, L., var. purpureum, Forst. At the foot of the Culver Cliff (Rev. W. W. Newbould) ; in Steephill Cove, with Raphamis maritimus (.1. G. Baker). The plant on the shore near the Priory seems to agree best with G. semiglabrum of Jordan.

G. molle, L., var. parvijiorum (var. y, of Bromfield). On St. Helen's Spit, etc. A small-llowered and procumbent variety, with leaves more deeply cut than iisual.

G. pusillum, L. Roadside at Yaverland, sparingly ; field between Grove and Alverstone ; near Godshill.

[G. pratense, L. A single plant on the border of a grass field close to the barracks at Sundown ; no doubt introduced.]

\_G. striatum, L. Appears well established in the hedge of a cottage garden at Alverstone. Mr. J. Pristo has also sent me a specimen found in a hedge near Wootton, where it has been observed for several years.]

\_Erodium moschatum, Sm. On a strip of turf under the paling of a cottage garden at St. Helen's Green (1860). Not now cultivated, but no doubt introduced in so suspicious a locality.]

Oxalis Acetosella, L. The variety with purplish flowers grew formerly in a wood near Landguard (Major Smith).

Ulex Gallii, Planch. Heath east of Newport (1852). Stapler's Heath, and the south-east parts of Parkhurst Forest, always accompanied by plants intermediate between it and U. nanus (F. Stratton, 1868). Le
