 332 THE FLORA OF HYDE PARK AND KENSINGTON GARDENS.

on. "Hyde Park beyond the spring, 1790. E. B. 369, cand Herb. Linn. See. Ibid. 1816. Herb. Goodger and Rozea."— Fl. of M.

Alchemilla arvi-nsis, Scop. P., casual, in a tree-fence 300 yards north- east of the Magazine, " Hide Park. Johnson's ed. of Gerarde's Herbal. 1633."— Fl. of M.

Fotentllla reptans, L. G. and P., common ; often mixed with the open turf, as in the strip and old grassed road. " Hyde Park, 1817. Herb. Goodger and Rozea." — Fl. of M.

P. Tormenlilla, Schenk. G., a casual, in a flower bed near Prince's Gate ; evidently brought with peat earth for some llhododendrons, and associated with Pteris and seedlings of Ritbus.

Rabns viacrophyllns, Weihe, var. umbrosus, Arrh. G., several nice bushes in the hedge which bounds the Gardens on the west and runs north from the Palace. This is the R. carp'mifoUus of the Rev. A. Bloxam.

R. Koehleri, Weihe, var. pallidus, Weihe. Five or six good plants in flower at intervals in the hedge w^hich runs north from the Palace. It is interesting that the two Kensington Gardens' subspecies of Rtibus should belong to two very ditt'erent sections of the genus.

Epilobium imntanum, L. G., plentiful for several years in a flower-bed exactly in the north-west angle of the Gardens.

E. obscurum, Schreb. G., in a flower-bed near the north-west angle of the Gardens. Rev. W. W. Newbould.

E. roseum, Schreb. G., A flower-bed weed in the south side of Ken- sington Gardens ; a plant brought to me newly gathered by ]\Ir. New- bould. " Hyde Park, opposite Bayswater Road. Irvine's ' Handbook of British Plants,' 1858."— Fl. of M'.

Circcea lutetlana, L. G., in a flower-bed north-west angle of the Gar- dens. Rev. W. W. Newbould.

Myriophi/llum spicatum, L. " Octagon pond and Serpentine ; common." — Ibid. Fl. of M. [Note here that no Callltrlclie has as yet been observed. It would be difficult to find at this time of year any country piece of water equal in extent to the Serpentine without this genus being very obvious in it. Are we to infer that Callitnclie stands smoke worse than Pota- mogeton, Zaimichellia, and Myriophj/llum, all of which the Serpentine yields ?]

Montia fontana, L. P., " Frequent in Hide Park. Merrett." — Fl. of M.

Helosciadium nodifiorurn., Koch. Noticed three years ago in the trench which runs north of the Magazine and bounds Hyde Park ; not seen this year. — See also Fl. of M.

Buniuni Jiexuosum, With. G., a common and widely-diffused plant in the Gardens, but not noticed in the Park. Ibid. — F'l. of M. [See the note there on the plant of the Gardens being recorded as B. Bulbucas- tanum, L.]

Slnm latifoUum, L. " Hyde Park. Cockfield." (1813).— Fl. of M. JEtlm&a Cynap'mm, L. G., sown ground west of the Albert Me- morial, etc.

Galium Aparine, L. P., twice in tree-fences 300 yards north-east of the Magazine ; casuals.

G. verum, L. P., in the strip near the trench side ; the patch is a yard or more iu length. I recorded this in Fl. of M. as G. saxatile
