chalk-quarry at the back of Losely Park.
. In addition to several species of Orchi-
Orchidacaeae before enumerated, Scabiosa Co-
lumbaria, Helminthia echioides and
Campanula glomerata abound; and in
the field adjoining, I find Petroselinum
segetum. In the woods at the foot of
the chalk, principally upon the galt, Si-
laus pratensis, Senecio tenuifolius, Pri-
mula vulgaris, var.elatior, (Ang. Plur./ -),
Daphne Laureola and Habenaria bifolia;
and in an arable field upon the sand ad-
-joining Veronica Buxbaumii plentifully.
Priors wood will afford many an interest-
ing plant, amongst which may be noticed
Aquilegia vulgaris (sometimes with white
flowers, Orobus tuberosus and Serratula
tinctoria.
The chalk-quarries round Guildford
will amply repay investigation and
are rich in calcareous plants: in additi
on to those of the Compton and Wanbo-
Wanborough stations will be found Cichorium
Intybus, growing in the greatest profus-
ion near St. Catherine’s Hill; Allium
vineale is located in one spot on the
Stoke road; Chenopodium album will
be found at the foot at the foot of an old
wall in Quarry-street. Isatis tinctoria
grows in the greatest profusion, princi-
pally from the fissures on the perpendic-
ular face of the chalk in the Shalford quarry;
here will also be found Reseda Luteola;
and towards St. Martha’s Chapel.
