 296 ON THE FLORA OF THE ISLE OF WIGHT.

have detected in tlie Supplemental Notes. I shall not dwell very particu- larly upon these, but first recorti some few additional localities of" my own, principally detected in the years 1864 and 1865. Following Mr. More's example, I shall endeavour not to give any which have been recorded elsewhere publicly. I do not know if the MSS. observations made by Dr. Bromfield in his interleaved copy of the ' Flora liantoniensis ' (pre- served at Kew) have appeared in print, but shall forbear to give them.

Ranunculus Jiederaceus, L. Dr. Brorafield and subsequent writers seem to have overlooked Fl. Vectiana, p. 23. " In a pond near Pann, Weston, St. Helen's, etc."

R. pai-viflorns, L. Fields near Tolt Copse, 1864 and 186.5 ; field near Beckett's Copse, 1870.

Berberls vulgaris, L. (p. 75). Only vne locality is in Fl. Vect. Papaver somnlfurmn, L. Field near Tolt Copse.

Chelidonium rnajus, L. Bowcombe ; Gatcombe ; and near other ham- lets, seldom more than two or three plants in a locality.

\_Lepldlum Draba, L. T am under the impression that Mr. Stratton and I found this on the railway line from Newport to Cowes, May, 1868 ; but as he does not remember our having found it, and the entry in ray note- book has a query appended, most likely I am in error.]

Ileliantliemum vuhjare, Gsert. (p. 136). The authority should be D. Turner, as in Snooke, p. 22 ; Bromfield, p. 50; not given in ' Botanist's Guide' (T. and I).).

Saponaria officinalis, L. T saw this plant in Mr. Watson's locality at Freshwater, and looked upon it there as nothing more than an escape from a garden. I have not seen the plant there for some years past.

Lychnis vespertina, Sibth. With pale pink or flesh-coloured flowers, Arreton.

Malva moschata, L. St. George's Down.

M. rotundi/oliu, L. Arreton churchyard ; still very frequent about Freshwater.

Ilypericam Androscemum, L. Dr. Bromfield has omitted references to Bot. Guide, p. 820 ; Fl. Vectiana, p. 29. In copses about Freshwater. Geranium Robertianum, L., fl. albis. Blackwater marsh. Trifqlium subterraneum, L. Gurnett, 1864 (and, I think, St. George's Down, 1865).

T. incarnatum, L. Bridge near Freshwater Church, 1871. Medicago saliva, L. Field near Amos Hill ; slipped land by fort, Colwell Bay; and field near Murrow's Hotel, Freshwater, in 1870, the first locality in 1871 also.

Rosa tomentosa, Sm. " Isle of Wight, Mr. S. Woods " ; Bot. Guide, p. 318 ; not given in Bromfield.

Sedum anglicum, Huds. (p. 142). This is the plant correctly quoted by Dr. Brorafield from Garnier's list (1. c.), and not S. Telq)Juum. Warren in Freshwater; Fl. Vectiana, p. 19.

8. dasypliyllum, L. Only a few plants detected on Bradiug Church, by Messrs. Stratton, Warner, and myself this year, in consequence of alterations. {Celerach officinarum, Willd., I fear is also almost, if not quite gone.)

Chrysosplenium oppositifolium, L. First detected by me, I think, in Spring Lane, Carisl)rooke, April 30th, 1864; grows much less exten- sively there now, as stated by Mr. Stratton.
