P. POLYGONIFOLIUS, Pour. ! Marsh behind Manse, July 5.
Here we have the two species growing under the same conditions
\
polygonifolius is in good fruit, and is typical of the smaller
states of it ;
natans is in flower the whole plant typical of the
Linnean Herbarium specimen, except that the leaves are rather
narrower in the Stroma plant. A. B.
TRIGLOCHIN PALUSTRE, Z. !
V.C., thousands, from 4 to 6 inches
high.
T. MARITIMUM, L. Near the Little Gloup, July 4,
but not common.
ORCHIS MACULATA, L. \
V.C., white and purple.
HABENARIA VIRIDIS, Brown. East cliff, July 10. Small, and very
difficult to see, in grass near Manse, with Botrychium. At the
end of July most of it was only beginning to come up, the
flower heads only appearing half an inch from the ground (to
top of spike) and leaves either not showing or hidden by the
short grass.
In ditch south-east, flowering June 30 and

of it in flower, June 28, near top
of cliff west of Manse. Extremely common on cliffs at east
and west sides.
NARTHECIUM OSSIFRAGUM, Huds. July 22, east cliff. I only saw
this one small patch in the island ;

I was rather
